[B-MODEL] 70800 Getaway Vic Viper

[Junpei]

In spirit of the LEGO Movie soon to be released, I decided to buy a TLM movie set, the 70800 Getaway Glider. In fact, I bought 2 of them, so I decided to build a B-model of it.

I apologize for the bad photo documentation- It's dark pretty much 90% of the day in the winter.

Without further ado, here it is:

The B-model retains most of the set's original parts, except, of course, the glider, which has been made into a different getaway vehicle:

The rear view:

Bottom view:

A close up of the cockpit; you can see how I used revolvers to get the compound angle for the windshield.

Here's another close-up, showing the technique I used to angle the exhausts:

It has a few play features- the angle of the wings is adjustable and the rocket engine can rotate.

A pic of the extra parts:

The parts of interest- a 1x1 dalek brick, an inverted 2x2 bracket, the 5L chain, Emmet's brick, and last but certainly not least, a mustache. That is one of the best molds ever IMO.

Oh, and ignore that 3L pin; somehow it snuck its way into the picture.

Also worthy of mention is the complete bank sign:

The new moulds, so far exclusive to the TLM sets:

Unfortunately, the bracket for Emmet's brick is used for the exhausts, so he'll just have to carry it in his hands Also, Sheriff Not-A-Robot is missing a revolver:

And a straight-on shot to finish it off:

Hope you guys like it! Of course, C&C is always appreciated.

Looks really cool and makes me think of an alt build for the set. Only thing holding it back would be some of the illegal techniques (the spear "exhaust").

[Junpei]

Thanks! I actually didn't think that was an illegal technique, as it doesn't seem to be actually stressing any parts.

What I meant is I don't think official designs are allowed to do that.

Amazing! What does it look like with Emmet in it?

[Junpei]

Thanks!

It's not exactly minifig scale, but using the inverted bracket and 1x2 modified plate, he can sort of ride it:
