Sim, a primeira coisa para onde se olha é para o windscreen. A seguir são para as formas curvas bem conseguidas dando umas proporções bem próximas do original. Depois olhámos outra vez para o windscreen a imaginar o que é que dará para fazer com ele. De seguida fixamos os olhar nos lemes (?) que estão com uma espessura interessante mas cheios de studs e antistuds. Depois olhámos outra vez para o windscreen e pensamos, raios, ficaria mesmo bem nesta nave espacial que estou a planear à décadas. De seguida lêmos outra vez o press release e ficamos com a certeza que a LEGO quer mesmo expandir o seu negócio entre adultos incautos.

O set é mesmo bonito e bastante interessante como réplica de uma nave Star Wars. No entanto não vai para a minha wishlist. Já tem um bom tamanho e não há espaço para tudo e Star Wars já não é bem um tema que me puxe como puxava há uns bons anos atrás.

Uma das pinturas mais conhecidas do Salvador Dalí foi a inspiração para este magnífico trabalho do jaapxaap que consegue captar na perfeição a força e peso do elefante que se destacam das pernas frágeis e aracnídeas. De notar que o obelisco acima do elefante levita, exactamente como na famosa pintura. Excelente também o fundo já que acompanha muito bem as cores da pintura original.

Curiosamente durante e paralelamente à última edição do Arte em Peças havia um evento de realidade virtual onde uma das actividades disponóveis era vaguear por este (entre outras) obras do Dalí. Experiência deveras interessante.
