someone on the RLF DOA thread (sorry, can't remember who) said a light reflection looked like a tiny fang... that got me thinking. so last night, I gave my little imp some teeth :D
The Imp class of light cargo freighters was produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The base freighter design, like many CEC ships, was modular and came with many options. The 'Besther' model, named for the project lead, featured individualized cargo pods which could be customized to accommodate specific needs.
The Besther Imp XIV was made in the first production run and has faired decently in its 34 years of service. Many non-essential systems no longer function well or at all, and it's space-worthiness is in doubt, but it works well as a planetside-only cargo transport.

The Lucasarts game "1313" was shaping up to be a brand new style of game for the Star Wars brand and a fantastic look at another side of the SW universe. Unfortunately, when Disney bought Lucasfilm they shuttered the Lucasarts game department. While not official, 1313 appears to have been effectively cancelled.
For SHIPtember I decided to pay tribute to what could have been. This ship features prominently in the trailer/demo video for the game, and appears to represent the opening act of the game.
While simple in shape, the detachable cargo pods were what first intrigued me enough to start this project. The ship is, to my best estimate, full minifigure scale. Though similar in looks, this ship would actually be dwarfed by the nearly four-times longer Tantive IV.
The full size of this model is 131.3 studs long, 42 studs wide, and 19 bricks tall. It took two weeks to create, start to finish.
In the early 1960s the Rootes Group started Project Apex, aiming to design a small car to compete with the BMC Mini. The result was the rear-engined Hillman Imp. The overhead cam, alloy engine was developed by Coventry Climax and drove the rear wheels via a four-speed gearbox. Early Imps had an innovative, but unreliable, pneumatically operated throttle. Although tail heavy, the independent front and rear suspension meant Imps handled well. This is believed to be the first production car, chassis number 6.
Hillman Imps, and derivatives like the Singer Chamois and Sunbeam Stileto, were assembled in a purpose-built, Government backed, factory at Linwood in Scotland. Problems with reliability and quality control had an impact on sales. The planned output of 150,000 cars per year was never reached, and only 440,000 Imps had been built by the time production ended in 1976.

All Webster really needs is this photo there for this word!!
This past week when i watched Lileigh and “arkman”, she mentioned to me to look at his hair. Then went and told him to come see me and show me his hair. He came out and stood there staring at me....finally he said “Look at my hair.” i looked and asked what was wrong with it, and she piped up and said “He got a haircut!” Actually he got a haircut before heading to Cancun for vacation....but i told him he looked very handsome, and he smiled and went back to his toys. I asked Lileigh about her hair and first she told me she also got it cut....but then said “Only kidding....but i want a haircut.” i told her that her hair was perfect and she didn’t quite need one yet. She made a vague reference to cutting her own hair...but i reminded her that scissors are for paper....and that seemed to settle it!
Today i got a call from my daughter....could i take “arkman” after she picked Lileigh up from preschool....it seems she had to make a hair appointment to FIX someones attempt to give herself “bangs”!!!! i got a big chuckle out of that...the apple does not fall far from the tree as they say....except that her mama cut her SISTER’s bangs for her when she was about a year younger!!! (Truthfully i think Lileigh would have gladly given “arkman” a haircut...but he moves at the speed of light and she probably could not catch him still long enough!!!)
Heading into the weekend!! Hope it is a wonderful one and that the dang air quality improves here so i can breathe without being snarfly and scratchy/ My car was SO green with pollen that i could not see out the windows and i broke down and went to the car wash only to have it green again when i woke this morning!
PS....she looks adorable with bangs!!!! LOL!!

The Imps motor cycle display team at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show 2018. The children are from the East End of London and age range 6 - 16, they put on an impressive display.
Imps frequently act as manipulators in mortal lands, tempting the greedy, gullible or foolish into Lawful Evil acts so as to corrupt them, ensuring a continuous supply of souls for their lords in the Nine Hells.
* heavily manipulated btw gimp&pixlr
