GOTG : The Milano

again - after watching it back to back, i need to get my hands on The Milano. Peter Quill's a.k.a Starlord's rig named after his crush ( besides Heather Locklear ) Who's The Boss child actress and later Charmed's babe Alyssa Milano, this bird-like ship needs to be in my who's who of sci-fi collection.

Lego produced 2 versions of it. The sequel model is smaller than the first. A chinese company named Bela sneaked in, flood the market and gave us ( me ) joy.

the first Milano
The Milano's for the sequel, packed with the pink battery eating monster is pretty neat but the price is not.
the sequel's Milano - smaller
The first Milano was released 2 years ago and hard to find as most stores told me that Bela no longer produced them - with my packed schedule and workload, i dont have time to do a reasonable built MOC. ( MOC stands for My Own Creation ),

Lo and behold - universe gave me one as i found one when i was back in Melaka. yehahhhh...i change the cockpit, windshield and adding more blasters and back wing flaps.





I cant find the right word for The Milano's design as it is pretty slick yet it has muscles at the same time....androgynous. So using the image, i just add what is needed.


The design of this Milano able to hold only Starlord, the sequel features a wider cockpit where we can see its piloted by Rocket and Starlord. Sometimes i really favour this sort of size as it can be displayed easily. Basically its 12 inch X 10 inch.


the designer did a remarkable job of getting the Milano's form right - using minimal bricks and Technic's parts for her wings.



Plus Milano's interior able to hold 3 minifigs inside too. Not bad.


Cool right?
