Lego - Set 918 rebuilt in Chrome

Lego set 918 is my all time favourite set. It was released in 1978 as part of the brand new Space Lego line and is compact, cool and very swooshable*. I have rebuilt it in chrome, using custom parts from a few different sellers on Bricklink.

Interesting notes: Lego does make chrome parts (the wing pieces for instance came from a Naboo Fighter from The Phantom Menace).  The other parts I used are chrome plated by the sellers. That means that the pieces are slightly heavier than regular Lego parts (they even 'clink'). They are also a tiny bit thicker than regular Lego, which means that they are slightly harder to click together. That shows how fine Lego's manufacturing tolerances are.

For those who like to buy Lego on Bricklink: these are the main stores selling custom chromed parts:
ChromeBricks
Bricks4All (who also did the custom engraved CR918 bricks)
ChromeBlockCity
TheChromeShop

*Swooshability is the most important characteristic of a good Space Lego set.

WH40K - Idea for Battlewagon conversion

I've had an idea. I've got the Goffik Rokkers lying around. They are older minis of WH40K Orks, as a band. I think they could 'count as' an Ork Weirdboy - but they would be a bit bigger on the table top than the Weirdboy's standard 25mm base. I've got an unbuilt Ork Battlewagon. And I've got the old bits box...
So, I will put the Rokkers on stage, and put that stage on a tower, and put that on a Battlewagon. Add amps, speakers, Grot roadies, power source of some sort, and I will have a converted, re-imagined Weirdboy Battle Tower.
The tower was originally an Epic piece, and several people have built WH40K scale conversions since then. Mine will be a rock 'n roll one. I might even put an MP3 player and speakers in. Must leave room for battery changes.
Who knows? Maybe the Weirdboy Tower will re-appear if and when the new Ork Codex is released. I hope I make it the right height. Wouldn't want to have an advantage (or disadvantage) if 'the real thing' was released as a model!
