MOC: Twin-boom fighter

[M'Kyuun]

Back in July, I picked up a couple of Hasegawa's Eggplane models, essentially super-deformed versions of modern fighters where the fuselage is, well, egg-shaped. So, I started designing eggplanes of my own in LDD, using part# 47755 (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=47755)as the main fuselage components to give it that nice round appearance and still allow for the minifig to fit inside. I refined the model a bit more after I took the screenshots in my folder, Bricklinked the necessary parts, and built the thing for real. I noticed that TLG incorporated the same hull design idea in the sub that comes in the upcoming Atlantis Temple set. I've updated my Brickshelf account, when made public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=453240 As always, comments are welcomed. Advanced warning: I have no photography skills at all.

Here are a couple pics:

Er, two problems....one - I can not see anything on those links yet and two.......war planes don't go here, they go in the oddly titled 'Other'.

I might ask a MOD to move this there for you and have you tried deep linking your pictures straight from BS to here ?

Keep on MOCing !

Looking through the various topics, i wasn't sure where to post.

I'm trying to deeplink, but I keep getting a message saying I'm not permitted an image extension. I've deeplinked pics before without issue; it's not working for me today.

Got it! Mods, feel free to move this to a more appropriate venue. Thanks.

This is really an impressive build M'Kyuun, I really like the SNOT build of the whole ship. The egg-shape design of the cockpit is very well-built using the right curved slopes, and nice opening funtionality too. Great job overall!

Thanks for the tips...the pics looked fine to me, as far as size goes, when I uploaded them. However, I'm not savvy with manipulating photos, as I rarely post them. I'll be more diligent about checking sizes of pics next time. Again, thanks for the help.

At first I did not notice it was SNOT...... Then the details stated to pop out....
