Futuron 6884 Aero Module alternate

And now it's time for box alternates with Aero Module.  This set is loaded with plates, which, depending on how you build proves a blessing or a challenge, no matter, let's see what the designers left for us.

The main fuselage is thin, as a demonstration of the inherent clutch power of the brick it's a success, and it also clearly demonstrates that length can be achieved quickly without burdening the whole model with many pieces.  The design is very open and frail, 3 engines support the mid and front portions, while a 1x4 plate and two 1x1 plates create simple convincing landing feet in the rear.

The laser cluster up front is cute and imposing all at once, eyelet plates get put on active duty to maintain a light spindly feeling.  It's like a spider web, fragile, but clearly dangerous, the rear white cone vent adds excellent finesse to an otherwise open blank space in the nose.

The rear of the Spaceship seems blank, it has a nice raised tail, but lacks texture, or defining character, scanning through the leftover bits we see several pieces left, surely we can improve on the training wheels model?

Which results in some minor use of blue, and a more textured rear assembly.

But if we're this far, why stop now?  With a few more additions we can produce this burlier version, that just might withstand one more glancing laser blast.  At this angle changes aren't very apparent.

Say? What looks different about these two?

And that wraps up this post, have a happy picture hunt, sincerely,
