Horry Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Hey folks! Ice Planet was a series that did greatly considering colours, design and parts in my opinion. So I've decided to build two MOCs that try to continue the style of Ice Planet. I humbly present the "Arctic Spear" mobile laboratory and its carrier, the "White Stallion"! I'd appreciate comments and criticism!

Skipper Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I'm not really a fan of Ice Planet but I like the drop-ship idea and you've executed it very well - especially the "claws" that come down from the Stallion to stabilize the Spear in flight, they remind me of the Star Wars LAAT. Interiors are surprisingly spacious, and I like the use of the trans-orange pieces for the roof. As usual you've done a great presentation as well. Nice work! Quote
Apollo Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Very excellent concept, Horry. Ice Planet is one of my favorite themes of all time (and by far my favorite Space Theme), and I have always imagined the team to be an irresolute squad of deep space explorers trying to navigate their way toward proper habitat and safety while battling the chilling elements. It is necessary to have such a heavy dropship for the insertion of such research vehicles, and perhaps for rescue as well. May I suggest more underlying black panels beneath the white? The color scheme and logo plates make this an easily distinguishable IP vehicle, but I believe there needs to be a little more blue and hidden black to break the conforming color scheme up a bit You have a wonderful "starship" aesthetic going on for the White Stallion! The branching plates and dominating white make this reminiscent of an exospheric transport (okay, so maybe the white is a pretty understandable choice...) and I love the mobile lab idea. I would definitely invest in this if LEGO were to release it. Quote
fr33manator Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Brilliant work. Great job of capturing the theme. I've worked on quite a few Ice Planet MOCs myself, but your starship is top notch. I've never built a mobile lab for the faction yet, but if I do your work is definitely going to be an inspiration. Love the dropship idea as well. A few points of that could help improve it: Add a bit more blue and black in order to more fully capture the IP:2002 feel. Perhaps utilize the satellite/rocket element present in the theme, either in the dropship or the mobile base. Use some of the ski elements. I didn't notice any in your MOCs, and when I think IP:2002, I think skis. I love what you've done, love the theme, and hope you build more. Your presentation is great. Maybe you could check out some of my IP MOCs and tell me what you think? I'd love to hear some feedback Quote
