MY SECOND LAMA

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!

  2. That colour looks really good. You've got to keep going, then you'd be the first to have a full SpacexII set!

  3. Even more convincing, Woodsy. If I'd've seen that thing anywhere else I'd be going nuts trying to figure it out!
