You know if you have the boxes and instructions you could probably sell them on ebay for enough to buy a car.

Nice work! I agree about all the good pieces here. The modern Lego stuff all has too many specialized pieces in them so that you can't re-use them much.

That's so true - a lot of today's lego is so specialized that it blurs the line between lego and a snap together styrene model kit, and that IMHO limits the playability.

Here are some wires for some of the more unique pieces:

I entirely agree!! ^

Ah yes, the classic pieces.

The edges/chamfers are their own smoothing groups then? I see a bunch of ngons that should be problematic for smoothing but don't seem to be. I thought it would detract from the model, but it certainly doesn't seem to.

Thanks, yeah, it seems to be working out.

Well Done!
It takes me back to my childhood.

Looks totally like the real thing I also used to play with LEGOs I don't recall this model but I knew that I wanted it (I was obsessed with space stuff). Keep up the great job !
