I was feeling a little down in the dumps today, so I decided to cheer myself up with some LEGO time. I rebuilt the first LEGO kit I ever got as a kid: 6835 Saucer Scout. Then I decided to see if I still had any MOC skills, and I went ham on my own version. It's chock full of illegal building techniques, but I don't care. After all these years, these plastic bricks still bring me so much joy!

I freaking LOVED that spaceship set as a kid. I still have one around here somewhere, but I spent so many hours with that set and a few extra pieces, just messing around, etc. Darn nice build.
