MOC: Aeon Hoverbike

[-zenn]

I felt like making a hoverbike for my white suited classic space 'doc' minifig. Also wanted to do something else with the thrusters, than my usual use of those car rims.

Aeon; a neo-classic space hoverbike inspired by 'Welle: Erdball - Apollo XI/V1/V2/Aggregat 4'.

Comments and critisiscm welcome. Also thinking about naming it 'Gravity Resistant Vehicle' or 'GRV' for short, any thoughts about this?

Another excellent hoverbike -zenn! As usual, very nice parts usage particularly the wheels, minifig 'apron', and that blue piece at the back (is that a Bionicle piece? I can't seem to remember that one.) Nice work!

AWESOME '-zenn', what a hoverbike !

I like the colouring and those wheel rims being used as thrusters !

Keep hovering on those creations and K.O.B. '-zenn' !

Thanks, mate! It's this> *click* piece. Never seen it before myself either...

ThanQ, I will! K.O.B?

For some reason your hoverbike just screams coolness factor x10 and I love your choice in using the bearded minifig head - reminds me of Sean Connery for some reason. Great Job!!!

I really like the smooth blue pieces and how they look next to the jagged mechanical bits! This looks great! :thumbup:

[Scorpiox]

Great stuff -zenn! The wheel rims look great as thrusters, is it ok if I borrow that technique?

The smooth frame and the mechanical parts mix well, you should delve further into sci-fi hover vehicles like this.

Oh and by the way If I'm correct K.O.B. means keep 0n bricking. (ha ha if you say "keep 0n bricking" it turns into "I'm a conformist!", mods and they're jokes eh?

Thanks, glad you like it. Sure go ahead it's a pretty common technique I presume.

Maybe I'll do a SunTron or a M-Tron bike next, don't know yet. Already did Blacktron and Ice Planet.

KOB, I could have known... Mods can't live with them, can't live without them.

Thats one nifty hoverbike! I love the detailes and the design. Sure does look fun to ride arround in.

[Giovanne]

Great MOC and great design!

This is a good example of small bricks in a small MOC, my favorite part is the rims as thrusters.

Keep up with the good awesome work!

Nice bike. Been a while since I saw a good NCS MOC. Great usage of that blue curved part on the back in particular, and almost every other part used.

[-zenn]

Thanks guys!

I like your usage of the motorcycle frame, and of course that blue piece. Are those minifig hips the thrusters are connected to?

[Brickdoctor]

Great work, zenn! So much to love in this small MOC; NPUs everywhere.

Thanks, yes they are minifig hips. They have lots of possibilities, fiddling around with them helps.

ThanQ! Nice to see you like it so much.
