yoderevolution Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Hello all! Although I don't post here often, my latest creation came together so well, I just had to share it! Although technically not an ornithopter, this VTOL attack craft is used by the Fharusi, a desert nomadic tribe, to patrol and protect their portable base-camp. It's built to handle the harsh desert climate, and is relatively simple to maintain. Brickshelf Gallery I built the minifig first, and I liked him so much, I had to build a ship for him to pilot! Please let me know what you think. -Mike Edited March 7, 2008 by yoderevolution Quote
Benk Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I absolutely *wub* this ship. So well designed and I adore those engine/wing things I also like the smooth gun turret and the colour sceme - tr Quote
natelite Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 i agree. i like the use of EF stickers! the torso is my favorite! nice use of avatar's head! Quote
Hinckley Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Yes! I love MOCs from yoderevolution! *wub* Of course this is yours. I've been staring at it for hours on Brickshelf. Literally, I work from my house on the computer all day, I've had BS open to your folder and every time I take a break I check out this ship. I really like it. I also think the sticker are used excellently, but I've never seen such specific greebling before. There's not too much and everything seems to have a function. It has a nice realistic proportion for a power source and if I'm not mistaken, the pitch and yaw adjusters (the brown adjustable wings with the guns??) are very specifically cabled. I love the exposed mechanics. I see thrusters! Very nice... And of course I love the center gun with the mudguards. That's just brilliant. You really put so much thought and detail into your creations, yet they looks effortless. You have a lot of great stuff in your Brickshelf folder, but this is just beautiful. It's my favorite along with the humvee. I find nothing to criticize about it at all, it's just perfect! *sweet* *y* Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Niiiiiiiiice. Really nice. It has a steampunk look, that's for sure. Quote
zero1312 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Awesome!!! *wub* Where can I find that canopy? Quote
SuvieD Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Love the shape and overall fighteriness of the design. I am sad it is so void of visible studs and the flesh colored fig. I am not willing to accept the fleshies or the trend to to studlessness and so your design lack to me in these areas. Aside from that though, if I had to nitpick I would like to see the wall of the cockpit "padded" with a colored plate either matching the seat or complimenting it. Nice build though. Moc on! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted March 20, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted March 20, 2008 What an amazing ship! The design is just brilliant. The concept of the rotating engines, the colors, all those little details ... *wub* Quote
