The offer still stands if you want me to pick up some of those orang squad poly bags.

Meanwhile, here's something I made on the computadoro.

"Tortuga Moon" - modified Shirasagi Class Medium Cargo Shuttle


"Tortuga Moon" modified Shirasagi Class smuggling ship by vynsane, on Flickr

"She might not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."

This modified variant of the Tanuki Corp Shirasagi Class Medium Cargo Shuttle is captained by the notorious smuggler Kaizoku Kortez.

Named for the infamous moon used by pirates and smugglers before it was rendered uninhabitable during the piracy crack-downs in this sector of the galaxy, the "Tortuga Moon" has seen better days. While piracy and smuggling has been drastically reduced, it is still the preferred method of wealth acquisition in the small pockets of the galaxy that is too far-flung from the central seat of government influence.

Rumor has it Kortez and the mercenary Aliss Oyuki first became romantically entangled while the duo were running guns and fighting, respectively, for the Rendolo Prime Resistance Army. They were, as we all know, on the wrong side of that conflict.

Forgive my ignorance, but can you make these virtual Lego models using Star Wars pieces?

Because there needs to be a damned Lego Cruisemissile Trooper.

Some of those I don't recognize.

The black/white stripes and short person in red. (Beetlejuice maybe?)

The guy standing on what appears to be an RV. (is that Into the Wild?)

Pretty cool. If you hold the cursor over the image, it tells you the title.

Beetlejuice is correct. The guy standing on the RV is the Walking Dead.

That doesn't work on a SmartPhone. And Walking Dead is gay.

I saw you put your mouth on a man dick. Therefore you're gay and not the walking dead. Ass.
