[MOC] Fire Pincer starfighter (Starfighter Telephone Game)

[Quarryman]

The Starfighter Telephone Game is a bastardization of the gradeschool game of the same name, sans starfighter. Build a starfighter. Mail it to the next player. The second player puts their spin on the design and mails it to the third player, and so on. Everyone ends up with someone else's MOC, fun is had by all, and the last player mails it back to the first.

I joined the game when there suddenly was an opening on one of the round 5 teams, and have finally managed to finish my contribution, which I called "Fire Pincer", since the the next guy has reported receiving it I can now post pictures.

So first a general overview of the fighter. Would have liked to cover up those visible antistuds on the cockpit, but unfortunately TLG haven't made any kind of panel thickness parts with studs on them.

On my Flickr there's also a video showing the pincer play feature.

And finally a comparison with getdamonkey's "Fuegeo Chela" which mine was based on:

There's also a lot of great stuff worth checking out in the STG pool on Flickr!

Very nice. Makes me think of Legends of Chima in the future. Good work. :thumbup:

not sure if it helps much since its only in dark bluish grey, but there is a 2x2 inverted tile with the antistuds smoothed out and studs on the bottom, easiest way to get a couple i think is the ninjago fire mech.

about this ship, it looks amazing. really nothing else to say, the lines all flow well, the color contrast with the white is great, and the pincer is really cool, so just, it looks awesome!

Asymmetric design is always super awesome. The colour scheme is shiny too.

Great work.
