Rocketship
« on: February 16, 2009, 06:31:58 PM »
Because every spacer needs his trusty rocketship - A spacer without a rocketship is like a cowboy without a horse.

. . . of course, of course.

Parts used:
-Turkey baster
-3x 10mm-scale mecha guns
-3x 10mm-scale mecha legs
-Wire nut
-Ancient Toshiba laptop parts
-Seatbelt covers
-plasticard
-Terrain bits whose name I forget
-10mm-scale aircraft tails
-nail
-28mm-scale Samurai banner

You, sir, are not allowed to attempt a takeover of the solar system until your octopus sobers up.

Looks very VSF, almost trending towards pulp. Clearly your soul is seeking out a new genre even if you don't know it yet.

Great stuff. Really looks the part. Very Pulp Sci Fi looking.
Nice figures as well. What are they? Any chance of a close up.

Well, at least it fits the "Alien Abduction" theme then... lol

Nice piece of work! I donīt think the size is much of a problem, although I prefer the variant of rocketship that is sitting vertically on landing legs (Sigmund Freud must be rolling over in his grave by now!).

No no no, no puny basters for this galactic imperialist... I built my rocketship to be 2ft high from paper rolls and plastic spheres... I really need to finish building this rocketship lol. Got sidetracked by using more compact atomic flying submersible hovertanks.

I was looking at this at Terragenesis where you've posted it, and I was wondering about it's classification... (I would post on there, but I haven't verfied yet and the email is on another PC - can't be bothered to create another account)

Andy is saying it isn't scenery... but it doesn't really do anything on the tabletop does it?  :?

it's like my flying saucer, with the ramp/gear down, the model is in a landed position, if anything it's an objective (admittedly the model has guns, but then so would a weapons emplacement)... it isn't likely to travel across the table...

is a parked car scenery or a model? any future city scape could have rows and rows of ships docked... are they part of the scenery - they are something to move around/over/capture/destroy but won't move themselves... ok, so they could take off, but then rocket engines would have it out of play in an instant so it would only work in that context as an objective to escape in the rocket ship...

Great conversion!! Nicely painted 100 Kingdoms figures with your WOC Star Wars figures.
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!
