First Post /

Hi all.

I'm actually working on a flying saucer I've already made quickly few week ago.

This new version has been optimised in parts and is stronger.

It's still a wip but here is some pics

I've also made a quick

included.

The idea is to try to make a set as lego could do.

So strong, fun and playable.

The only problem I've noticed for the moment (sure I'll find more) is the cockpit connection.

It's to fragile and I do not succed to improve it without loosing space.

your opinion will be welcome to improve the construction

hope you'll enjoy and could help me !

I like it better than TLG AC models. are you using Buzz Lightyears vizor as the cockpit bubble?

[Creator]

I like it, especially the accompanying movie to explain its features! That's a clever mechanism that you use there. Very original and it adds a lot play-ability to the model.

I really like this strange and funny design, good job

yes the cockpit come from the set 7592 Construct-a-buzz

I've made more pics (quickly sorry but it's a wip) to present more closely the features included :

The 2 cheeses are used to keep the turntable where the alien stand in a good orientation

Here is the "fragil" point; the 2 technic bricks 1X2 always hang off the round plate 4X4 ...

any idea to consolidate ?

Interesting space craft 'lego-maniac'.....Brick On !

[1980-Something-Space-Guy]

I like it! In my opinion, it's better than some of the Alien Conquest ships.

To complete the "set" I've tryed to add a laboratory to the UFO

bringing back to his planet his prelevement or anything else in the capsule...

I saw (most?) of these on flickr...

But I'll chime in here again cause I LOVE this moc.

The build itself is fantastic. Interesting and fun take on the 'standard' flying saucer.

But what really floats my boat is the play action of the capsule.

And that lab is hot.

Though I'm surprised there isn't some docking action between the saucer and the lab.

I've planed to make one. The aim was to make a docking area upper the lab to welcome the capsule from the UFO.

But, it was a bit to complexe and it was not really nice. The size was not adapted due to the size of the UFO. So I've decided to make something simple.

As I take lot of pleasure building this moc, I thnik I'll try to develop it with other modules !

UFO powa !

Thanks all for your comments and thanks for watching the video !
