SHIELD hovercycle - 76036 alt build

[ED-209]

I bought the "Carnage’s SHIELD Sky Attack" set mainly for the minifigs, but felt the vehicle was a bit too large. It seems about the size of a normal City helicopter, when I felt it should be something lighter and more manoeuvrable. I really liked the fans on the side, so thought I'd reconfigure the vehicle as a hovercycle.

Here's the end result:

And a clearer shot without the pilot:

I built it without adding any additional parts, but I'm thinking I'll replace the control panel with handlebars and give the pilot a full helmet.

As always any thoughts or feedback is most welcome!

Looks very flying cop. Reminds me of the police officer from the Star Trek film.

Thanks guys! I've replaced the control panel area with a pair of handle bars. Here's the final version:

And if anyone's interested in building their own, here are the parts needed. With the exception of the handlebars and the 1x2 plate with clip (in the bottom left corner), all the parts are from the original set.

That's an interesting observation, because I think that in the back of my mind I was channelling the flying police cycle from the old Spider-Man 2099 comics:
