 Thanks. It's kinda fun in a challenging way to try and create something with only what you have on hand. And if you're a sci-fi fan...you'll have plenty of inspiration.

WOW! That thing is superb! You took a pile of dog poo and turned it into a gem!

Did you have a rough idea of what you were going for from the start, or did you make it up as you went along?

Thanks man. I had a slight idea going into the project. I liked how the rear of the vehicle sloped down, which reminded me of a vehicle in a computer game I used to play. So from there, I kept adding and thinking and adding and well, you get the idea.

Is this the first time you've done something like this, or do you have more of these little gems lying around (or perhaps in the works??!!).

Well, most of what I do is Star Wars related. I take an old toy line called Action Fleet and turn them into models. I have a ton of SW stuff on my website Action Fleet Unlimited, as well as a few military and sci-fi stuff. But, I had a lot of fun with this guy and will probably do more in the future. I think next, I'll get a Dragon kit...more fun bits that way.

Cheers
