The Green Lightning - Mark 1

[Oky]

Hi there! This is the first Space MOC I've posted here. It's a sleek little starfighter called "The Green Lightning" that I have built with the urge of creating a MOC using mostly green parts. (Lime) Green is my favorite color, you know. Here it is:

It has one engine on each wing and a hyperdrive at the rear top. That hyperdrive engine is made using instructions I have found on Brickshelf, so credit for it goes to it's designer (whose name I forgot). It doesn't look as good on my starfighter as I had hoped, but it still works.

Here is a shot of the back:

Just like the ones of the star cruiser in Disney's Lilo & Stitch, the flaps of the engines (or whatever you may call them) spread out to give the ship a boost:

Here is a shot of the Cockpit:

Even the Pilot is green!

Well, that's pretty much it. There isn't much to this little MOC. It's actually kind of old, too - I just never got around to post it. I have already taken it apart and made a Green Lightning Mark II out of it (as seen here). Maybe I'll post a whole topic about it too some day.

I hope you liked it. Comments are appreciated.

Very interesting idea to use those shovels!

But the box on the top seems a little bit too big. It kills the overall very aerodynamic look of the ship.

Awesome little ship Oky! I love the green colour scheme and the use of the old style cockpit, really makes it feel like an old school space fighter. I for one love the green box at the back, sure it isn't streamlined but I love a little boxiness in ships. Hope to see more space creations from you in the future!

Batbrick Away!

Hmmm, yes, I like what you've done here. The other day I took some pieces from Zam's ship for a chopper. Nice job, but is the pilot a stylish gambler?

Its nice

but I alsmost wish the wings would angle downwards a bit. espeically from the back view., to offset the engine going up on top.

it's a nice spaceship ! I love your engine's flaps^^ but I have to say I'm not a fan of it colours ^^ anyway, that's a nice moc

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.

cook look starfighter.

Huh? Erm... Thanks... I guess...

Well, I didn't want the pilot to look too much like the Green Goblin, so I exchanged his torso. But the only other green torso that I had and that suited a space pilot, was this one.

Its nice, but I almost wish the wings would angle downwards a bit. especially from the back view., to offset the engine going up on top.

Hm, yeah, I suppose that would have looked better. Oh well.

But as you can see in the link in the first post, I have used that technique on the Green Lightning Mark II.

it's a nice spaceship ! I love your engine's flaps^^ but I have to say I'm not a fan of it colours ^^

Well, you aren't a big fan of the Power Miners either.

But yeah, I like those flaps a lot myself!

Hope to see more space creations from you in the future!

You will! I have made several Mechs that I haven't posted yet, and I plan on making a space pirate ship some day!

Hah! Cool use of the shovels. I didn't recognize them until I read someone else's comment.
