Rubblemaker Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) This is NCS Shorty. With a pair of engines stripped from a supercruiser and bolted precariously to its sides, it's more engine than ship really. Benny's going to need balls of steel to pilot this thing!

Feuer Zug Posted October 19, 2022 Pod racing to a new level! Great work on the engines. The petals and exhaust area are well constructed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted October 19, 2022 Now THIS is pod racing! I love this model, I just hope the pilot realizes the only human ever to even finish a pod race (alive, at least) was a young force user with midi-chlorian levels off the charts! I sincerely hope this Classic Spaceman has his life insurance paperwork filled out properly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice MOC BTW ! Those engines without any technic stuff are killer ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He eats Midi-chlorians for breakfast. 18 hours ago, Feuer Zug said: Pod racing to a new level! Great work on the engines. The petals and exhaust area are well constructed. Thanks, and good spot on the pod racing aesthetic. It was going to be a pod racer for a while but frankly it looked way funnier to stick the engines directly onto it so I rolled with that instead.

Stepwise Posted October 21, 2022 I like how the nose reminds me of the 2336p35 from the Mobile Command Trailer and the Cosmic Fleet Voyager. Different color pattern, but somehow it feels like it's 'implying' that shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaximillianRebo Posted October 23, 2022 Benny the Spaceman and His Unfeasibly Large Supercruiser Engines! Great build all round and fantastic detail in the engines. Always good to see a new ship in Classic Space colours, I especially like the yellow and black nods to the Galaxy Explorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always good to see a new ship in Classic Space colours, I especially like the yellow and black nods to the Galaxy Explorer. Thanks, but isn't yellow and black a mainstay design feature of all Neo Classic Space craft? not just Galaxy Explorer. It's the bumblebee danger stripes they all have. I tend to push classic space a bit beyond what it's usually known as though which is why my bumblebee stripes take different forms to just the boring old 'yellow-black-yellow plate configuration'. My Manta Ray moc (found on my Flickr page) is a good example of this where I built the corners of the wings from yellow and black. It still remains unmistakably Classic Space but with a different take on the aesthetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

othelarian Posted October 26, 2022 I'm not a big fan of Space Classic, but these engines, holy noodle, you're right, it's more a pair of engine than a ship!

Umm.. not sure if that’s a question or an exasperated gasp 😄.. but… I guess as long as he doesn’t do something dumb like lift that visor up then yeah, it’s for space. Though in universe, firstly, it’s meant to be a planetside racer. And it would win. Every. Single. Time. Edited October 29, 2022 by Rubblemaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted October 29, 2022 Planetside, planetside... Sounds like that could be a race high up in the clouds itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
