Guys, since I've worked hard the 2 previous nights, here is a preview pic of Team Odysseus' main ship !!!! I really struggled with the booster ring, and its attachment to the main body parts consisting of 6 modules !!!! It lacks some details (cockpit), I'm not convinced by the rear of the modules... It still needs a name hehe. But I think the overall shape looks great !!! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out (after rebuilding the main body like 20 times, and the same with the engines and booster ring). Its still an ongoing project, so any remarks, thumbs ups and criticism are more than welcome ;)

Here is another funny anectdote !!! Our Master of Event, aka TT, made several gifts all wrapped up. We had a first round to see who picked the gifts first. I was just before Ras who was last. One of the two remaining gifts really looked as a small SW set !!!! I simply loved the look on Ras' face when I picked that one. I opened it, being sure it was effectively a SW set. Surprise, it was the Gammeroan guard set !!! Yeahhhhhhh I thought, until TT told me that the package was already opened! !! I started to think, this does not sound good at all. And inside the SW set was the following pic (arghhhhhhhhhhh) !!!!! What a great sense of humour this TT has :D I could have included this post in the Humour forum with a title such as "Whats wrong with the picture" ;)

And here is the rear which looks much better I think !!

Guys, I've taken your criticisms into account and I've totally modify my ship !!!! I've made it longer, modified the rear (which looked really crappy I admit), slightly modified the engines (now the booster ring is in the middle !!), modified the top and bottom !!! Here are some pics !!! Enjoy

My Emperor, it seems she is already subdued by the dark side. Transmitting pic...

Not necessarily (unless its contractual in the licence), I mean TLC had Life on Mars and Space port at the same time as SW !! So who knows !!

Oh boy, Sne you do have weird dreams you know :D btw I edited your links.

Well Sarg, just multiply the price in dollar by 0.86 roughly to have it in Euros ;) This pricing is just ridiculous !!!!!!! More ridiculous than TLC's :'( I don't want an entertainment system capable of reading darn MP3s, taking pics, grilling my toats and what have you !!! This is just pure nonesense !!! Really, we want a fantastic 3D engine and hard drive !!! Forget the rest !!! I'll wait and cry when I see the pricing of the PS3 I think :'( !!!!

Most definitly YES Phes !!!! Its one of the best movies I have seen in a long time !!!!! Its beautifull, poetic, and there is a LOT of symbols everywhere !!!!! Its a constant rollercoaster of thrills, poetry, laughs.... The casting is just magnificent !!! I am not going to mention Depp who is totally unforgettable in the role of Willy (one of his best performances after Benny and June and Pirates of the C). The kids are so well stereotyped, you just want to slam them in the head !! The grandparents are touching, especially Charlie's grandpa who is really moving !!! The Umpa Lumpas are brilliant as well !!! The songs (written by the author) stick so well with the story and visually its fantastic (Beatles and Kiss Umpa Lumpas !!!! Excellent !!!). Its just another brillant Burton's movie, one of his best !!!!! I only have one interrogation: why is France never shown in the whole movie ??? Is it due by the book itself or its a deliberate Burton's choice ?? In the flag room, in the shipping area at the beggining (when crates' destination are labelled), in the openning of selling the precious Wonka bars (Tokyo, NYC...). I wonder really.

My Emperorship !!!! It seems that the "Charmed ones" has disappeared !!! They casted a wrong spell while being intoxicated by alcohol and vanished forever from our galaxy !!! However, my beatifull Darth Hilton spotted someone I think you will like. Transmitting pic... I will track her for you my Emperor !!!

I thought only VCVC was a Cats fan !!!!!!

As explained by TT, thread closed !

Cool prizes SuvieD :oD Me want to win !!!!!

At least, it will, in the long run, reduce the numbers of babies in an overgrowing nation :D

To put an end to speculation (I know that was posted somewhere else though), here is what Jake wrote in his Brickfest 2005 Keynotes: "Vikings I

Tks Jipay and Sne for your kind words *satis* Jipay, I don't think I'll ever build a HUGE ship capable of containing the Concept Odysseus, the rover and the bigger Odysseus ship !!! However, I might one of these days build a big base for Team Odysseus !!!!! Sne, Since its a kind of retro rover, the interior is really simple !!!! Behind the cokpit, where are the top blasters, there is an opening trap door that reveals either a missile or a recon drone !! Nonetheless here is a pic of tye cokpitit:

Ras, I wish you luck during these difficult times and I sincerely hope to see you very soon among us ;) Take care my friend.

Welcome back shaggie ;) Yes do come visit us more often !!! Good luck on your noble task !!!

Cool news !!! Tks, still wandering if I get it or not... I'll move this topic to the BSTF forum ;)

And the last pic for now: the two recon bots (RB1 is on the right and RB2) More detailed pics later this thursday ;)

And a back view:

Here is a side view:

Guys, here is the "Rover" of Team Odysseus !!!! This retro feel rover has the distinctive color pattern of Team Odysseus: white and orange and a big front bubble cokpit. It has weaponry in the case of bad encounters during its missions (top and side blaster phasers and side proton missiles). However its mission is a discovery mission. It can fly small distances (over a creater...), hence its two small side engines and side wings. It has big treads to conquer surfaces "default". It has a long back hatch capable of holding several things such as the "planet collection crate, or PCC" or its two recon droids (recon bot 1 and 2), plus a top hatch which can hold a missile or recon drone (not yet built). Comments are always welcome guys !!!! Greetings from Team Odysseus ;) Enjoy !!! I will upload my Brickshelf gallery this thursday.
