Marvin the Martian's classic flying saucer - real world MOC

[Murdoch17]

Here we see a typical flying saucer of Martian origin, landed on the surface of some place called Roswell, New Mexico. It seems the ship's pilot, Marvin, has something to say to us: "I claim this planet in the name of Mars! Isn't that lovely?"

The rear of the UFO... but since I've identified it as Martian flying saucer, doesn't that make it an IFO? (Identified Flying Object)

The vessel stands Marvin at the controls quite comfortably, with sadly no room to spare for the Martian flag. Looks like you're going to have to leave it behind, Marvin!

The underside of the vessel, with the landing struts and some sort of engine nozzles visible.

Thoughts, comments, questions, and so on appreciated!

A very solid use of those old parts for their intended use case.

That's perfect! Great moc for the best Looney Tune

That's cute. 
I feel you have Marvin spot on, especially with that helmet.
On the saucer, isn't there a lack of storage space for the deadray gun underneath the fuselage? Just askin'...

Nice! I like the single stud wide tailfin centered with jumper plates. Using inverted slopes to match the slope of the hull is pretty smart.

Thanks @icm! I felt I needed to use those UFO parts to make this UFO... its just makes sense.

Thanks! That's actually the official LEGO Marvin the Martian figure from the Looney Tunes CMF from 2021. As for the ray gun, there was no room for it, as was the case with the flag @GeoBrick.

Thank you @danth! It was a sudden stroke of inspiration that led to those design features.

Nice model! It'd be tempting to call it simplistic, but after all, that's exactly what the design calls for, so you nailed it!

How many pieces is it, out of interest?

Thanks @TeddytheSpoon! It's 109 parts, not counting Marvin or his flag. I have an LDD file of the vessel by itself if you want it.
