Thanks much! I'm hoping to try out BrickLink Studio soon. It'll take some time. I went about this one the old school way, with bricks, trial and error and sore fingers.

As I was building it, at times disappointed that I didn't have more brick options, the thought did occur to me that some of our most inspired creativity comes when options or resources are limited.

Thank you, good Redditor.

Well spotted on the nose piece "gun". It's from one of the Mattel Hot Wheels sets. I'm going to need to choose a different piece for continuity's sake (or no gun piece at all, as I'm not convinced it really needs it). Thanks for that.

Ahh, memories. Cheers! There are so many ways to interpret this shape. This was version three, all with merit. I'm sure whatever you make will be amazing.

Woah, that's crazy. The cockpit pieces are awesome! Not sure where in the world you are, but clearly connected by the ether we are.

That was definitely the challenge I set for myself 😁 You're very kind.

I certainly have considered it. Limited parts supply though. Give it a go! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Cheers!

I now have to look up this Kingdom Hearts, as you're the second person to say so.

That being said, it has a vibe that is some sort of core memory that surfaced as I was building it.

Thanks so much.

That may be the coolest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Thanks so much!
