_bIG_fM_ Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Hello everyone, Today i want to present my Antonov (Or Antonow) AN 225. It's the largest operating aircraft in the world, with a wingspan about 80 meters. Only two planes were build, and actually just one is flying. The AN 225 was designed to carry the Soviet Space Shuttle, the Buran. This is in fact my second version, my first can be seen on mocpages. There is also my second version. Link to wikipedia. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany Quote
Superkalle Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 That is a truly majestic build. Great work However, we have a rule at EB that MOCs should in general be posted in the respective theme forum. So I'm moving this to the Town forum. Quote
_bIG_fM_ Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Sorry I'm new here and i didn't know this, Thanks! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Excellent LDD work there '_BIG_fM_', now might you consider brick-building it because you would have an AWESOME creation on your hands if you did ? Keep on LDDing ! Quote
LAKAbricks Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Hi bIG fM! Welcome to Eurobricks. I agree with LT, this one deserves to be brick built. But it definately would take some bricks. But after all, this machine is the Mriya ("Dream"), and that we always can do. - Normally, I don't often take a look at the LDD, as I think brick built is much more fun (I grew up with the bricks, not the computer ). But this one, I had to see. Quote
BillytheKid Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 When this plane is modified to a passengerplane, it can hold 1500 people. A Boeing 747 can hold 550 people. An Antonov is also designed to land on sandtrack. There're airports where this giant can't land. Not for it heavy weight, but it's too big! It comsumes so much fuel by take off, that a lot of cars can run their entire lives on it. It's massive this russian airplane. Respect to this technology. Quote
petero Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Wow, that's an awe-inspiring MOC! Your other airplanes are superb too. Could you put the LDD file for your KC-135 online? I was a KC-135 mechanic back in the late 1970s, and I'd love to build it. Peter Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Amazing airplane design bIG fM! I really love how you captured the overall shape including the tricky curves and slopes, and the colored surfaces. Like the others I'd love to see this built in real bricks someday, though I understand it would take a lot of resources to pull-off this one. Still, it's undoubtedly one great piece of LDD design.

AussieJimbo Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Great design, _bIG_fM_. I'd love to see this in the brick one day. :classic: Quote
alienwar9 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Oh my That is one amazing LDD creation. Normally I have to like anything that is massive in LDD , but this is beautiful as well. I love the turbines! and the fact that you can open the nose is great. This would be amazing to build in real life! Quote
Out of Sight Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) That's PHAT! Pretty Huge and Tempting! Did you build the interior/cargo bay? it would be neat since the purpose of this aircraft is to haul butt up in the sky. Which reminds me, this iconic aircraft was featured in the movie "2012", owned by the Russian tycoon. When all hell broke loose, only a Soviet built plane can survive the worst of mothernature Mother Russia vs Mother Nature! Edited May 14, 2011 by Out of Sight Quote
Milan Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Great shape of the Antonov! It is not minifig scale, but is is the lines I like so much about it! Great work, it would be interesting to see it built. Quote
green dewback Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 This LDD MOC is awesome An-225 is one of my favourite aircraft. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Awesome design 'bIG fM'. Very realistic, I'd love to see one for real. Is there a piece count? Quote
_bIG_fM_ Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Wow! Thanks for all the comments! I know the plane is good, but i didn't imagine so many comments... Unfortunately i can't build this in LDD, it's (for me) to expensive. It's possible, I didn't use special parts, and the parts which aren't avaible can be changed without problems. Total brick count: 6597 Weight 11646,650g That's PHAT! Pretty Huge and Tempting! Did you build the interior/cargo bay? it would be neat since the purpose of this aircraft is to haul butt up in the sky. Which reminds me, this iconic aircraft was featured in the movie "2012", owned by the Russian tycoon. When all hell broke loose, only a Soviet built plane can survive the worst of mothernature Mother Russia vs Mother Nature! "Wow, that's a big plane!"-"It's Russian" I loved that scene! The big Russian with his strange accent, that was really funny! (In fact the plane in the movie was a (fictitious) further development of the AN 225 and not this plane here, the AN 225 has no pressurized cabin. And yes, it has a cargo bay. Oh my That is one amazing LDD creation. Normally I have to like anything that is massive in LDD , but this is beautiful as well. I love the turbines! and the fact that you can open the nose is great. This would be amazing to build in real life! How do you know this? I didn't write it, have you downloaded the file? Wow, that's an awe-inspiring MOC! Your other airplanes are superb too. Could you put the LDD file for your KC-135 online? I was a KC-135 mechanic back in the late 1970s, and I'd love to build it. Peter I have put the file online, but be careful, the front windscreen is not connected to the plane. Sorry , i just noticed it yesterday. Edited May 16, 2011 by _bIG_fM_ Quote
