Darkblane Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 ARC-003 - The Arcadia The majority of this MOC was actually built last year, shortly after I built ARC-002 (The Arclight) and ARC-001 (The Arctana). Unfortunately, due to the rear fins and an uneven weight distribution (the rear is significantly heavier than the front), I knew I had to create a suitable base for displaying it and at the time, I could not think of anything suitable. With other projects and competition entries I wanted to work on, this MOC got forgotten about until a couple of months ago, when I finally came up with the right base to display it. Equipped with a prototype cloaking device, the Arcadia was the third ship developed by the Advanced Reconnaissance Corporation for the Galactic Core. Unfortunately the original ship disappeared a few months before it was due to be put into production and the project was subsequently abandoned. Rumours that the Arcadia was stolen by the infamous rogue trader, Jarad Orgarda, and his henchmen were adamantly denied by both the Advanced Reconnaissance Corporation and the Galactic Core.

Sirens-of-Titan Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Well done Darkblane! The design is really neat and the color scheme is a work of beauty. It's great that you decided to use the base as it adds a ton of credibility to the rest of the lime green in the ship! I like your figures, and of course the smooth transition between Technic and System parts is very pleasing to the eye! I hope to see more of this type of build from you! Quote
Si-MOCs Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Wow. Fantastic. The wait for the lime green is worth it. The shape is really unique and sexy. That base is is so simple but works so well. Really well done! :thumbup: Quote
Thrawnie Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Very nice, I really like the integration of the Bionicle chestplate pieces in the back, it's always nice to see theoretically 'useless' parts put to use in interesting ways. Quote
Ceroknight Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I really like the colour scheme as well as the piece usage. Well done! I didn't know they made lime green Power Miner helmets Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Ooh very nice, I really like the fins, they just look cool and look really good on the ship Quote
Darkblane Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 I didn't know they made lime green Power Miner helmets They're from the World Racers set 8863 (Blizzard's Peak), though I got mine from BrickLink. Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Excellent space craft with interesting minifigs 'Darkblane', the lime green is very sci-fi indeed. Brick On ! Quote
Legostein Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Hello! That's a fantastic looking science fiction star ship! You used an original piece complement to realise this unqiue shape. Especially the use of the bionicle pieces (including the stand) are in great use! Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
