Amazing.

Did you have a clear idea of what it would end up like, or were you making it up as you went along?

I like it. Looks very believable. Color scheme is very natural.
It's nothing, sir. Just a burn from a ray gun.

Thanks, everyone!

This piece has got quite a reaction considering that it's a pile of junk that took next-to-no-time to build!

I didn't have a plan, other than I was building some sort of flying saucer. I didn't even know I was going to do it as a crash. It just sort of happened. Fast.

As I pulled bits out of my junk box, I realised how I could use them - and the thing took shape before my eyes.

I'm glad I didn't leave it dark grey - I was going to - but that would be too predictable. Instead, it has a bright cartoony feel I rather like.

Now I need some appropriate aliens to stagger from the wreckage...

As to what brought it down, I suspect the only thing on Earth capable of such destruction would be Professor Shandy Tanglefoot's Over-Compensatory Death-Ray of Doom...

Gluing my fingers together since 1973...

May take was that it had crashed a long time ago and that recent sedimentary action (or other erosion/ground shifts) had now revealed the stricken saucer.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

The first thing that came to mind was - "Wow! Another brilliant model!"  :o

The second was "what is the Professor compensating for, I wonder ...."   ;)

More to the point, what do you call it in heat-of-battle?

By the time you yell 'Fire Professor Shandy Tanglefoot's Over-Compensatory Death-Ray of Doom', the blighters would be overhead, raining black dust galore.  ;)
