Yeah, here's a side view: I was using the ingame model of the car for reference as I was designing it in LDD. I wouldn't really call myself a perfectionist but I do try to be as accurate as possible when I'm recreating something. Thanks!

That's an interesting design. I came from a different angle with my concept design of the car. I instead tried to match the color scheme on his outfit, seeing as his car matches his outfit in both of the Lego Racers games. Take a look:

That's cool. In anticipation for the first physical release of Rocket Racer, I built his car from the games but with the colors and details reflective of the car costume piece. I also created alternate hood designs that showcased his iconic RR logo like his car in the LEGO Racers games.

That's pretty cool. I really like the front of the car. Do you have a picture with a better look at the side of the car? I noticed that different official images of Rocket's car from previous games have the wheels sitting at various heights on the car, of which you've chosen the higher position. I think that works well because it allows the air current to keep the car on the ground. Good job.

"Sheesh! Bowties are such a pain!"

I present to you, Sky Lene!

[9:26 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Oh boy, this just reminded me of a story from my 2015 visit to LEGOLAND Windsor, and waiting in line for Atlantis... [9:42 PM] Ayliffe: did a small gust of wind blow the cardboard ride building into a nearby tree again [9:51 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: So, I was waiting in the outdoor queue, which is separated by these wooden fences with metal lattice. [9:51 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: [9:52 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Here’s an image do you can visualize the area. [9:54 PM] mumboking: For a moment, I thought that said vandalize. [9:54 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Oh, I’ll get there... [9:56 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Anyway, a few groups ahead, there’s this family with a young (probably around five y/o) girl. [10:05 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: And this girl... as she makes her way through the line, for some inexplicable reason, is just licking everything around her. 1 [10:06 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: And not like pressing her mouth against stuff, she’s going at it full-tongue. [10:08 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: As the line starts to move, the family move from against the back wall/fence (which she was licking) to one of the central fences. [10:09 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: But she continues undeterred and her mouth finds its way to one of the wooden fences. [10:09 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Which as you recall, has a sheet of lattice over it. [10:10 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Now right behind this fence, there’s a guy just leaning against it, unaware of what is about to go down. [10:12 PM] mumboking: Oh no... [10:13 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Through one of the holes in the lattice, the girl’s tongue manages to fit... [10:14 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: Right against this other guy’s butt. [10:14 PM] mumboking: OH! [10:14 PM] Terrev: oh [10:16 PM] Ayliffe: I was expecting this story to go in many directions but this wasn't one of them [10:18 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: And this is why I will never look at the LEGOLAND Windsor Atlantis attraction the same way again. [10:19 PM] Ayliffe: On the plus side though [10:19 PM] Ayliffe: at least you weren't trapped in one of the submarines with her [10:20 PM] Terrev: At legoland california recently my nephew got a minifigure bag (firework guy) and was trying to open it [10:20 PM] Terrev: Some random girl comes along [10:20 PM] Terrev: Says I CAN HELP [10:20 PM] Terrev: Takes the bag [10:21 PM] Terrev: Shoves it in her mouth and is about to either rip the bag or remove half her teeth with it [10:21 PM] Terrev: Everyone yells NO in unison [10:21 PM] Terrev: We take it back, she runs off, everyone is laughing/dumbfounded [10:22 PM] Terrev: Why are kids [10:22 PM] Terrev: Just... Why are kids [10:22 PM] ProfessorBrickkeeper: I’m glad we all have our own stories of how our LEGOLAND experience has been tarnished by kid’s mouths.

It's that time of year again! (Sorry for the lack of warning beforehand) Fellow Rock Raiders, it's time to don your best suit and iconic red bow-tie to celebrate the Triangle who has never changed his avatar since 2011! (well... until sometime between 2015-2016, but still) Much like last year, there are three different Le avatars to impersonate: CLASSIC ANIME ...and MODERN Once you've assembled your disguise/impersonation, post it below! Also, for the sake of historical preservation, don't post a direct link to your RRU avatar, instead upload a copy of your image online and post a direct link to that, thank you ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I'm sad that I have to start such a great tradition with... well... a "controversial" submission, due to the lack of the iconic bow-tie:

You called?
