Tazmaniac Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Here's my first attempt at a space themed MOC, so any feedback would be great and no need to sugar coat it either. 104_3024 by Taz-Maniac, on Flickr Scroll down for updates. Quote
JimBee Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 This is a good first attempt, TazManiac. The overall shape is cool, though I guess it could be a little smoother looking. The back looks chunky, and I think it would look better if the bricks followed one structure rather than go different directions. The gold cheese slopes, for example, take away from the shape of the rear rather than add to it at this point. Also, while the back is pretty detailed, the front is bare in comparison. Maybe you could beef up that part a bit? By the way, does the title have anything to do with ? Quote
Tazmaniac Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Cheers for the feedback, I'll see what I can do with it. The idea came from the "Lobo" comic but his bike looks totally different but was still a starting point. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Interesting creation 'Taz', I agree with the 'Captain' there.....a bit blocky at the rear....OCC in outer space ! Keep on going dude, I'll be kind......wait to the Brick Doctor has his say ! Brick On Ride On 'Taz' ! Quote
Tazmaniac Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 As you can see I'm way out of my comfort zone with this theme, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. Update Version 2 Version 3 Any better? Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 That looks a lot better and there's a lot of guns there being used ! Great work 'Taz' and Brick On ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Considering this is not your field of expertise I must say you still did a pretty good job with this speederbike MOC Taz! It does remind me of Lobo's Space Hog a lot, and I, for one, like the unusual combination of the relatively fat rear part with the thinner front, but the the main criticism I have for this build are the variety of colors of the parts used. I think changing the white and pearl gold parts to the predominantly grey and dark red will result into a more consistent color scheme (if your parts collection will permit it). Quote
Big Cam Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I'm trying to picture this as an anime, and it fits. I think you accomplished what you wanted and it's identifiable. Nice work. Quote
JimBee Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Looks much better now, Taz. It looks a lot more like a hog now, and the shape flows more. I especially like the use of the pistols for mufflers. I agree with the 'Captain' there..... Who? Quote
Hoboman Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 That is a great bike. Would imagine it would be a blast to ride it. Good Job. Quote
Tazmaniac Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Ok here's another update with a new bike to race the first. Hope you like. 104_3052 by Taz-Maniac, on Flickr Quote
I Scream Clone Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Really liking the evolution of these bad boys! I know a dirty rotten bar where they would feel right at home too Quote
Legostein Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Hello, and welcome to space! The speeder has some great connection techniques, and I like the use of the TECHNIC® gear together with the engine cylinders. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
