danth Posted yesterday at 07:01 PM Author Posted yesterday at 07:01 PM So during all this Renegade talk, I actually built mine, finally, this past weekend. And my opinion hasn't changed. I do have new appreciation for how they fit the hexagonal flag with the Blacktron symbol onto the nose. The curved wedge slopes on each fit perfectly against the flag, with zero gap. I still think the area under the flag needed to be built out more. But really, there were no surprises or "you can do that?" moments in the build, like there were with the Galaxy Explorer. The main thing I remember is SO MUCH YELLOW. Also, the landing gear are not easy to get out. Quote

The main thing I remember is SO MUCH YELLOW. Also, the landing gear are not easy to get out. The drop function was really the only 'wow' moment- it works great, but I wish Lee had put the trigger forward of the rover and made the back open like the original, as at least then you could land, drop, and still drive in and out of the ship. I also thought the way that flag fits up front was clever and smooth, another standout moment during the build. Beyond that, nothing else really had that 'wow' factor. The gear are indeed difficult to pry out of their alcoves and I wonder why he didn't choose to either make the pads smaller or the alcoves bigger so you can hook a finger around them easily. Overall, it's a bit underwhelming after building the Galaxy Explorer and the Space Cruiser alternate. Hopefully the next entry is closer to the GE in terms of, well, everything. 😄 Quote
Chronocidal Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) On that note though.. "next entry".. something 1st generation Space Police themed? Please? Though being honest, I actually prefer the design of the second gen command ship, but I'd love to see a new take on the classic black and blue. Edited 1 hour ago by Chronocidal Quote
