rongYIREN Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Hey Everyone! **edit** Reworked the chopper a bit and gave it a slightly new role as well as name. Being that the aircraft was really too small to take on any "rescued minifigs" it has now been designated as a spotter. So 'Rescue One' now becomes the 'Sentinel' I may in the near future redesign it a bit to accommodate a winch and to hold rescued figs. Oh, and the cockpit has now been redesigned to fit a minifig. Hope you enjoy - any feedback is welcome! Here are also the two previous incarnations First Prototype Thanks, rongYIREN Edited October 21, 2012 by rongYIREN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted October 17, 2012 This is definitely my favorite version The new engine/wing design looks much better and the ability to fit a whole minifig is fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XimenaPaulina Posted October 18, 2012 I really really like your Desktop Aircraft series - the concept is very unique and fits both the kids (playability) and AFOL (display) demographic. The aircrafts are well-designed in all their chibi-like scale goodness with their sleek SNOT finish and cool working features. And the presentation is top-notch too! I think this is worthy to be supported in CUUSOO. As for this Rescue Chopper, I really like the futursitic design and the color scheme is consistent with LEGO's orange rescue team sets. Though I do wonder how such a small aircraft can performa rescue operations, or is it just for searching purposes (hence small but very mobile) and a separate bigger rescue craft will do the transport duties?

Yeah, the whole purpose of the redesign was to fit a minifig. It bothered me that the previous versions just had what amounted to half a fig. Really cool looking. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. And I totally agree with you. I wasn't really sure of its actual role because it's just too small to really carry any rescued minifigs. Perhaps the role I can give it is more of a 'spotter' and as you suggest, a larger vessel can move in to do the rescuing. I'll rework the photoshop file tonight to reflect the role change.

vynsane Posted October 18, 2012 Dude, you're on fire with these. I love how each one has it's own distinct role/color scheme, but they all are obviously from the same 'family'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, thanks man! you know, I think one of the biggest things that give them such a unifying feel is that cockpit canopy, it's the same in everyone. Totally AWESOME 'rongYIREN', cool believable design and great colours......keep bringing them on and Brick On Fly On 'rongYIREN' ! Thanks for the support! I like the wings on both sides! Great shape! Thanks, I almost didn't add the wings but changed my mind at the last moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
