With a spare Hungry Hippo body I decided to make another LAMA.
This time I wanted it to look a bit more like the Tri-ang SpaceX toy's original colour.
So, with a little junk-box detailing ....
... and a few coats of metallic red paint
... plus a few other bits, I had my second LAMA.
I'd run out of white paint so I left the legs red and the rawl-plug canon as is.
The dome is a googley eye lid.
The engine nacelles are swiped from old e-cig coils
The rawl plug barrel even has a groove which could if necessary hold a small silver missile as found on the original.
It comes complete with lego antennae.
and its own shadow!
That's it.
I'm LAMA'd out now!
Time for a cold beer. It's roasting here in the UK!
You cant stop now, Crash Tender next! Even better the second time! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteha ha, thanks a lot Wote. Lucky I had a pot of metallic red!
DeleteThat colour looks really good. You've got to keep going, then you'd be the first to have a full SpacexII set!
ReplyDeleteha ha, a full set! Blimey. Thanks a lot Kev.
DeleteEven more convincing, Woodsy. If I'd've seen that thing anywhere else I'd be going nuts trying to figure it out!
