Lobo's Space Hog

[Henchmen4Hire]

UPDATE: Flickr gallery now has more WIP pics!

This is probably going to stay as an LDD file, not sure what parts are actually available, LDD showed that many of them didn't exist in the colors I want. I'm happy with it though I'm sure I'll keep picking at it over time.

This was supposed to be a simple crotch rocket but I got carried away. Lobo upgraded his compact hog to something that looks like a love-child between a star destroyer and a trike! Shut up, trikes are cool!

-I love modular stuff so I like the SNOT wedges on the sides because I can remove them to reveal a bracket underneath, to which I can attach any crazy thing I can think of. Same deal with the 1x4 panels on the rear engines and 1x2 and 2x2 on the sides of the middle engine.

-Probably gonna add more rockets :D

-There's room for another fig to sit behind Lobo.

-There's enough space in the trunk for 3 bodies, more if they're cut up into pieces first!

-Maybe i'll change the dark gray bits to dark bley or sand blue (as if they exist haha)

Let me know what you'd change/improve on, I'm gonna try to find more ways to add hidden brackets to attach more hidden weapons.

Here's the Flickr page so you can add your crazy notes :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/drnightmare/sets/72157625668461334/

*Lobo is a DC Comics character

WOOHAH! Now we're talking!

Although just a LDD pic you captured the looks of my favourite intergalactic bounty hunter and his ride quite nice!

Now get him some booze and alien-hoo'ers in that pic and he's all set to cause some serious megablock!

(Sadly I only ever read the comics in german, so I wouldn't know his proper signature lines in english, else I'd really liked to give some quote...)

As for improvements: Make that ride look more menacing with some skull structure on the front and seriously add some exhaust pipes to the back to make it more chopper-like. Flames from that exhausts add a lot!

AND THE HOOK! You forgot his signature hook-on-a-chain! Add that! ;-D

Har har, Lobo says pretty much the same things in the US, he calls everyone a "fragger" and a "bastich", you can probably guess what those words are supposed to be

Yes! More pipes! Very good idea, I'll make them unique instead of using the stock pipes.

I tried for like half an hour to make a skull for the front of the bike but I just couldn't make it look good. I even tried mounting an alien minifig's head there I'll give it another shot though!

I made the chain weapon with the LEGOs I have (it's a simple design), I'll see if it's possible to make it in LDD.

Your LDD rendition of Lobo is very accurate, great use of the white Pirate face! This one really looks like an upsized version of his original Spacehog. Good work on this one!

Thanks Kiel! I hope I can make a good minifig of Lobo...

Updated the Flickr gallery with more WIP pictures.

I love this thing! Added lights to the front, stylish exhaust pipes, MISSILES! because you can never go wrong with more firepower. Also a shot of the trunk to see how big it is. This hog kinda looks like a wolf doesn't it? xD I'll keep working on the skull, I still can't make anything decent.

Fixed the missiles, made them smaller and more, uh, cool xD :

They look good facing either way I think
