soccerkid6 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Here's my first try at sci-fi, a GARC racer: Will have some more pics up soon. Any C&C appreciated Quote
Masked Builder Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Very cool. I like what you've done with your engines. Overall, the whole shape is nice! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Very cool. I like what you've done with your engines. Overall, the whole shape is nice! Thanks! It was quite interesting building the body with the bottom being studs out as well as the top, not something you do in Castle very often Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Nice castle sci-fi building Soccerkid The engine are nice, and I love the advertizing on the spoiler Quote

Wedge09 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Really nice start :thumbup: Nice idea to add the spoiler As lightingtiger said, Brick'on soccerkid Quote
monsinjor Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Nice ship soccerkid, very interested engine design. Quote

Thanks, they're quite a convoluted design Sweet looking craft 'soccerkid06', reminds me of a cooler version of Space Racer ! Brick On Race On 'soccerkid06' ! Thanks LT Quote
DraikNova Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Awesome! Great engines, and the front detail is very well done. Quote

rongYIREN Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Nice looking GARC racer! That spoiler looks great. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 This can't be a GARC. There's no SWOOOSH picture! -- The engines are swanky, do they rotate? (they sorta look like they do) I really like how you have that durby race feel to it, while making it spacey You totally should do more Sci-Fi, this is a home run in my opinion. You really captured the 'feel' for GARC - a lot better than mine Though why is the windshield so 'murky' ? It's a bit hard to see the racers Quote

Thanks, you're one of the many builders than inspired me to try something like this This can't be a GARC. There's no SWOOOSH picture! -- The engines are swanky, do they rotate?

You really captured the 'feel' for GARC - a lot better than mine Though why is the windshield so 'murky' ? It's a bit hard to see the racers There's a SWOOOSH pic on Flickr The engines don't rotate, but I might be able to modify so they did, right now they're hooked up to the backs/bottoms (can't remember) of headlight bricks as they're a four sided design with all four sides facing out. Glad you like it's general shape at first I was worried it didn't look GARC, the spoiler helps with that alot. The windshield is probably just dirty, I think I got it in a bag of random parts quite a while ago. I will be doing some more sci fi, I actually have another GARC racer built (soon to be photographed), and one more planned before Christmas. It's fun to be able to build a whole model in an afternoon Quote
vynsane Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Though why is the windshield so 'murky' ? They took the A/C system out to improve the power/weight ratio, so the windscreen fogs up easily As I've said elsewhere, great work! Quote

mrcp6d Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 This is awesome dude. The spoilers (in space??) on these GARCs crack me up too--I'm going to have to build one soon... Quote
