Space Patroller MkII

[Redimus]

So, as a kid, I had a couple of 6830 Space Patroller. I loved it. I saw a complete with instructions one on Bricklink for cheap, and decided I wanted to relive some childhood joy, so bought it.

Although it's still a fun little design for it's time, it's hardly a match on today's designs. I started to wonder what I could come up with as a homage to it.

Here's what I came up with.

And for reference, the original:

It keeps all the major beats, twin mounted front cannons, opening canopy, twin removable robots, swing wings, plus I added landing gear, and engines that aren't also robots.

All in all, I'm not 100% satisfied with it, I think I strayed too far away from the basic shape, but I thought it was good enough to show off here none the less.

Nice! I like the update. Although, personally, the robots with heads creep me out a little bit! :D

I also like your update. As a Futuron Collector and Fan^^, I would not change the colors. It would look closer to the Futuronline and a bit better when you change your organge parts in blue and the cockpitbrick in transdarkblue.
