LL-928
I put the glory shot last this time, as I felt that the set in it's entirety deserved to be the first photo. One of the things I'm most proud of is getting black and yellow stripes to be flush with the wings. Sure they're longer and narrower, but the effect isn't half bad.
The rear is, proportionally, a bit chunky compared to the original. This is because the rear of the Galaxy Explorer is eight studs wide, and I couldn't cut it in half to four studs and still have details like the antenna and red lights to either side of the buggy compartment's windscreen.
Over all I think it works though, and getting it to look right is what made me push on ahead to start building more classic space micro.
