[MOC] Aurora Hoverboard

[-zenn]

Sometimes I wish we were still in that age of dicovery, when there were far away unknown regions to explore...

When people were baffled by inventions and were up for going on a adventure of a lifetime. With a little mix of science, myth and fiction thrown in.

Anyway, enjoy.

Aurora; a hoverboard inspired by 'VNV Nation - Automatic'.

Thank you. Well, I don't know actually, got it of BL

Very imaginative. Nicely balanced build shape and colour wise. I love all the details like the bag and goggles. Really sells the character as a steam punky adventurer type.

Thanks, I was kinda in doubt about the figure... I had a male one ready as well. But she seems to fit so well with the name 'Aurora'.

Great mix of old and new. Everything works well together. Loving the lantern on the front.

Such a beauty, also I agree but also I believe a little bit that we still have that, the vast endless space, we just need to invent better transportation (easier said then done but still).

It reminds me of the Disney movie Treasure Planet. But without all of the terrible parts (most of the movie). Great MOC! Really feels like a couple different eras all rolled into one.

It is MOCs like this I can use to show people that it is very simple to add girls in not "girly" places. I love it

I love this thing. Great details and colors on the character and board alike.

Thank you, I always love to hide some older parts into a build.

Thanks, I'm for colonization of space; especially a moonbase and using that as a platform to go further...

Thanks, Treasure Planet wasn't that horrible, a really like it actually. They should make a sequel with a better ending though.

Awesome, I tend to use a more girls in my moc's lately, they seem more fitting than gents. Such as the ones in my Valor and Jinx Hoverbikes.
