I built this one some time ago. My wife makes fun of me a little when I build some of this stuff. Not because I’m building (playing) with Lego, but that I come up with a whole back story. I find though, that the MOCs I create that have a back story, usually come out best. As is evident that when Nick came to visit and saw this sitting on the table waiting to be photographed, he kept picking it up and playing with it, saying, this is cool!.
The Scorpian (misspelling intentional) is used as a deep-space heavy scout. What it lacks in size, it gains in venom if you will. Carrying two conventional tipped weapons (up top), as well as one nuclear tipped weapon on it’s under belly, it can deliver a punch before exiting an area at hyperspace speeds.
So yeah, an in depth story for a Saturday afternoon doodle, but when I got thinking about what I was building, I made sure to include details that backed the story up. Essentially ramping up the MOC itself. Anyone else out there who does this sort of stuff find it the same for you?

It kind of makes sense to develop a backstory, it’s sort of that form-follows-function thing, and having a mission sort of dictates what elements a vehicle will have.
Unless you have a much more simple goal in mind, like “make a one-man ship that uses the wing panels from the SP3 [s]Vic[/s] Raid [s]Viper[/s] VPR”, for instance. :-)

D’oh.
