    @ChallengerHellcat Well, it's a rocket-spaceship... it's from this Tintin comic.

    Holy hell that stuff is incredible. The fact that you can make stuff by hand almost exactly as good as what you make with an algorithm is pretty incredible. Those who say that your builds are cheating because you couldn’t do that without your code have obviously not realised you could probably do the same without it. The code is just to get rid of the tedious, annoying part @SledDriver

    @Mustang51 Of course. If you look at this page, all the builds prior to Metabomber were made by hand. I'm actually a little embarrassed that I didn't get off my butt and start writing scripts sooner. I guess I'm just lazy :)

    I was really curious to see how you started out hahaha. Do you have any builds which you “made by hand”? @SledDriver

    I think that of all your builds, even the SR-71, this is my favourite. Brings back great childhood memories. I think I have about 5 models of this all in different sizes
