Here's a fun bit of whimsy - four spacemen in a small chamber, getting ready for some sort of battle. Three of the have guns, and the fourth has Indiana Jones' whip. The punchline?
Aboard the Tantive IV, Happy McNova misheard the command as, "Bring a whippin'."
The whimsy factor is fun enough, but the well-placed slopes and tiles round this out very well - it's a good application of those techniques. Those are probably 1x2 1/2 offset "jumper" plates keeping the minifigs in place, by the way.
This is Wednesday's model of the day
