Space Marines: The Angler

"The Angler is a dreadful sight to behold. Armed to the teeth it is an omen of death. Besides the four visible weapons attached the the lower fins, it packs four powerful lasers in the upper storage compartment and a twin barrel plasma launcher in it's maw. Piloted by the pirates of the Space Marine clan a meeting outside Space Police territory is rarely a pleasant one."

 

As I've previously pointed out I really dislike the large quater disk Lego pieces from the theme U.F.O. However, their size, shape and few and hard to use connection points makes them the perfect pieces for challenging my LEGO skills. And so I once more set out to test my skills in an epic battle of wits, creativity and stamina! (Or rather: Sticking pieces randomly together seeing what comes up)

 

Initially I wanted to build a two/three part spaceship using the disks as engines, but once I stuck the two disk together I immediately saw the face of a fish. Being transparent I thought I could still turn it into a fish shaped spaceship. Three days later this is the result.

 

I must say I'm really liking the overall look, it's play features and sturdiness. On other hand I have yet to find a satisfying solution to the rear, behind the storage compartments... Hopefully I will find a good solution eventually. :-)

 

What do you think of it? I'm keen on hearing your opinions and suggestions :-)
