Lego Design By Me : The 2 Man Star Raider Spacecraft

Lego Design By Me has been good to me.  I ordered the set as described in my last post, and though not as impressive as my original set I'm still very pleased with the final result.  It's a very solid model, which looks functional and would fit my 'Black' new interpretation of the classic Lego Space theme well.

The only real compromise with this Lego Design By Me set is the canopy over the cockpit - it would really benefit from a specifically moulded single piece.  My original intention was to use the green domed pieces which went onto the single seater Lego Design By Me LCX1 Fighter I made for my nephew, but the piece is tricky to get to fit right and when it did it made the craft wider than looked sensible.  Besides that I really wanted a genuine two man cockpit - a bit like a flying sports car with guns sort of thing.  Seperate domes didn't really give this feel.
