Classic Space Thunderfighter
Quite a while ago, some of you noticed the back corner of this ship, in one of my photos, and asked for a closer look. Well, finally, here it is! The Thunderfighter, from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. The Thunderfighter is the main hero ship of the Buck Rogers Television show. This is my neo-classic space interpretation.
This was a lot of fun to build. I've tried to include some similar design elements, across all my recent classic space ships, and this is no exception. One challenge, was to balance adding enough greebles and details, to make it look like it belongs in my classic space fleet, but not so many that it takes away from the smooth, retro lines and shape of the original
It helped that before I did it in classic space colors, I made the original as a Christmas present, for a friend.
Come out to Bricks Cascade, in Portland, March 21-24, to see the Classic Space Fly-In. Bring your own classic spaceship, and join the fun! I'll be giving participants a custom pair of engraved 1x6 bricks, with custom LL registry numbers!
