rongYIREN Posted October 3, 2013 Hey All! My latest build is a small alien fighter. When I saw the cocoon from the Galaxy Squad sets I wanted to use it as an engine thruster. So I built the engine first and designed the rest of the ship around that engine. Hope you enjoy... Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks, rongYIREN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted October 3, 2013 It looks really good. I like the color-combo and especially the contrast on the wing nacelles(?). Thanks for sharing it with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice! Maybe center the 1x3 slopes on the underside. And remove the flick-fire missiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutant Orc Posted October 3, 2013 Nothing wrong with a few flick missiles!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rongYIREN Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks a lot everyone. I appreciate the feedabck! Very nice! Maybe center the 1x3 slopes on the underside. And remove the flick-fire missiles Ha, perhaps I can make an AFOL version with no flick-fire missiles... I like your idea about placing the underside 1x3 slope(landing struts) in the center... it is now updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kermit Posted October 4, 2013 Nice moc. from the top view it has the appearance that it transforms into a mech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rongYIREN Posted October 4, 2013 Nice moc. from the top view it has the appearance that it transforms into a mech. Transforming into a mech? Now that is a nice idea. I think I'll work on a new version this weekend... thanks a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted October 6, 2013 The whole colorscheme makes it looks amusing and kind of fun. Some advice for the mech form: the thrusters would make excellent blasters or very stable feet. With some work the wing flaps could be used as hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH Posted October 7, 2013 Nice MOC! I'm looking forward to seeing the transforming mech version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ikba Posted October 14, 2013 Very nice! I really like the use of the Galaxy squad eggs as rocket boosters, and I can't wait to see how they look as feet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaysofSorting Posted October 14, 2013 Great colorscheme. In my neighborhood, a car or bike that color is nature's way of saying "don't touch me and get out of my way." I'm betting in this guy's neck of the galaxy the same rule applies. Unless the pilot just stole it, in which case he broke the rule immediately. I like this MOC because it's so shiny and new and thus has the potential to be battle damaged...I'd love to see it "change hands" a few times after some impressive races or battles and see what each pilot does to repair and fix it. Just as an experiment, what happens when you reverse the slope of the front hood pieces, like flip them so the other side is facing front (so the small curve and yellow stripe are facing forward) - I'm wondering if it might fool the eye into thinking the front was bulkier.

lightningtiger Posted October 15, 2013 Cool fighter......though the flick fires....oh, well they can stay....it just means that craft is packing more heat ! Great designing and Brick On Fight On 'rongYIREN' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
