Spaceship

My life seems full of deadlines with work, MMR by July and to lay track by Benson; so what did I do? I built a spaceship as I just fancied building one. It’s cobbled together from bits I had lying around and a few Star Wars Quick Kits.

I didn’t like the ice cream tub so built a triangular capsule instead:

And finally a hose adapter. It didn’t look big enough:

So I added a couple of UFO lamps from a box of junk…
