There's
only one true hero in our galaxy: Captain Future! I still remember
him being one of the idols of my childhood. I eagerly watched every
TV episode and wished I had all of the toy models and figures to
play with. Well, now I finally have at least one of them in Minifig-scale.
The "Cosmolem" is the shuttle-craft of his spaceship "Comet".
It only has two seats and is used for exploration of planet surfaces
or areas for which the Comet is to big. It's hangar is in the rear
sphere of the Comet.

As you
probably have noticed, I used the canopy from the 7181 "Tie
Inter-ceptor" for the front. The light gray mini guns are from
the 7127 "AT-ST" and the white technic liftarms from the
8480 "Space Shuttle".

I used
the technic conveyor belt links to build the rear exhaust. The white
parts for the side thrusters are the rims and fuel tanks from the
8868 "Airtech Claw Rig" and the transparent red radar
dish is from set 6982.

Here's
the interior of the "Cosmolem" shuttlecraft cockpit.
The two crewman barely fit inside. I think somehow this spacecraft
has a certain resemblance with the various TIEs from the Star
Wars Universe.

Captain
Future (aka Curtis Newton) and his crew: Grag the robot (with his
pet "Eeg"), Otho the android (with his pet "Oog")
and agent Joan Randall. Otho's face is from the 4051 "Nesquick
Rabbit" set.

Blondes
really seem to be "hard to get", because I had to import
the 3416 "Women's Team" US set to get my hands on Joan's
blonde hair.
Well ... I guess building the "Comet" would be the next
logical thing. But such a project would require to either take apart
my Rebel Blockade Runner or buy a second one, and at the moment
both alternatives are out of question. Maybe I will start with an
"ldraw"-version first.
