Peppermint_M Posted May 25, 2011 This hardy plane can land anywhere in the desert and is often used by the local artifact hunters to spot possible sites. For a modest fee the pilot will willingly sell maps and arial photographs he has taken. I am most pleased with the colour scheme of this MOC, Dark Tan is just such a yummy colour! I wanted to invoke a vintage feel with this one, slightly more down to earth and realistic than some of my other creations. The pilot has a Naboo Pilot torso on, a favourite of mine for both Steampunk and Dieselpulp. It seems I have recently been sucked back into flight. I would say dreaming about flying, but we all know what Freud said abou that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Excellent looking plane 'Peppermint_M', but two tiny little things, why does it have two wing mounted engines when the front nose mounted one would have a enough guts to take-off etc.,. Oh, sorry if I now sound picky.....the machine guns/cannon should be slung under the wing or stick over of the wings them selves. Remove those little props and slide in the guns - bingo......true wind mounted guns ! Brick On 'Peppermint_M'! Edited May 25, 2011 by lightningtiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 26, 2011 Very nice plane Peppermint M! The fact that it can land anywhere made me fall over. I could agree about the side propellors though. Great build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted May 27, 2011 I really like the color scheme of this one, the dark tan-brown combo does give the plane a vintage 'earthy' feel and it blends well with the sandy dessert surroundings. Very well done once again Pep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted May 30, 2011 Nice Pepper. Did you get the 3 propeller idea from the old Ford Tri-motor airplane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted May 30, 2011 Nice Pepper. Did you get the 3 propeller idea from the old Ford Tri-motor airplane? Possibly? I have many books about aircraft and they all sort of stick on my brain and pop out when I build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonir Posted May 30, 2011 Cool MOC! I will make something like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted May 31, 2011 Hello! Simply nice your plane! It's in a harmonic building style that would easily fit into any of the current and past adventure themes. I like the use of the modified plates for the exhaust and propeller holder. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brig. Brick Posted June 1, 2011 I am most pleased with the colour scheme of this MOC, Dark Tan is just such a yummy colour! agreed, the plane look nice, in shape and color It seems I have recently been sucked back into flight. I would say dreaming about flying, but we all know what Freud said abou that I also found your post of the lancaster hurricane, and I rememberd some carzy but interesting airplanes made by the germans, the "Heikel Lerche" or Lark, with coleopter design. And the Blom & Vos, as an asymmetrical aircraft ... ... I bet you can use those designs as a source of ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brig. Brick Posted June 1, 2011 Love love love those aircraft! I will most certainly get to building things like that when I have some free time. Thanks for the links! , I knew you would like it , and there's a lot of crazy planes on the world war II since now I tell you that I would like to see some of these mad designs made in lego, I know you could Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siegfried Posted June 11, 2011 Very nice! I must confess that I think it'd look better with a single prop; the front engine looks too huge in comparison. Hello! Simply nice your plane!

AnthonyFallen Posted June 14, 2011 Really nice! ^^ It fits perfectly with the Pharaoh's Quest sets! =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks for all the input chaps. I was thinking of giving it a bit of a tweak (to be honest the wing props were to stop the 2x4 plates that make the wings from seperating). Who would have thought that the 1,000,000th post would have been made on a MOC by me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chase Lego Hunter Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) If there's one thing I love about the adventures line its they're vintage aircraft and ground vehicles. :wub:Dark tan is such a great color. I like the dark brown accents as well they give it a whole lot more character. For some reason the only thing sticking out at me oddly is the landing gear. It seems too blocky but it might be just the angle of the photo. A great moc, I can just imagine this thing doing a dog fight with Jake's Plane. Swoosh bam bam bam vroom kaboom.

Oh, thanks! I did not realise that when I commented on the nice plane. Who would have thought that the 1,000,000th post would have been made on a MOC by me It mas a pleasure to me.

ZO6 Posted July 11, 2011 Really great plane, Peppermint! I think it looks fantastic, and I'm a fan of the three props - makes it more unique and exciting! Though I always love anything Adventurers-esq, I'm in one of the phases again where I've got a particular soft spot for such a thing. Thanks for sharing.
