STEAM Builds
So here, finally, is the WRS fleet all together. These pictures are all that remain now, incidentally.
The ADU/alien conquest stuff continues to exist, except for the mech, which is getting rebuilt, and the baseplates, which were quite fun to make but will be replaced by something different next event.
The alien tripod stomping on the army truck was a favourite from STEAM, the tank got some interest too (I was impressed that one kid correctly identified the cannon was a railgun), so that was nice enough. I broke the helicopter's contra-rotating mechanism several times before I simply stopped demonstrating it. I'll need to reinforce the stand as the u-joint/crank wasn't solidly enough anchored. Oh well, lessons learned.
Unfortunately the microspace fleet didn't really interest either kids or adults who don't already have an interest in spaceships or lego, so that part of the display felt like a bit of a bust. I even had lasers shooting out of the turrets, what more do people want?!
