This is my LDD MOC inspired by the new lego movie sets like the Trash Chomper. It is meant to be a tractor converted into a flying machine.

And the Micro Manager, adorable!

The tractor's functions are haystack bombs, flick fire brooms and looking awesome

C&C Welcome. Thanks for reading!

Anyone?

I'm liking what I see! You've managed to adhere to the movie's core concept of using creativity and imagination in order to fully "transform" every-day vehicles into something else entirely, I'm loving the futuristic look of the jet, and the fact that it's made from a tractor is even better! The way you've done the cockpits is great, I'm assuming the back one is for a gunner right? The Micro-Manager looks adorably chibi yet has a sense of menace just like how the movie-line's ones have, though a minor improvement would be to add more articulation to the arms.

All in all, great job dude! Do you plan on making the tractor as well?

[Sir Brickalot]

Thanks! Yes, that cockpit would be for a gunner. I'm gonna have a crack at a tractor soon!

[Kaijumeister]

Great stuff, good luck!

[TheLazyChicken]

Not bad... Would you mind if you could post a photo of it turning into a real vehicle? (If you can) Thanks. Anyways, I wouldv'e liked for Lego to turn this into a set with some of their own modifications. Keep up the great work!

[Sir Brickalot]

Working on the tractor now!

Nice MOC! Looks like it could be an official set!

I really like this "Haystack Attack" and I hope you build it IRL.

[Sir Brickalot]

I'm probably not going to build it IRL as I built it in LDD extended, so some of the bricks aren't available in that colour. Plus I don't really have the time or bricks.

Anyway, Here's the tractor b model!

Some harvesting device on the back of the tractor:

It was quite hard designing this, that must be my third attempt

Embed your images in your posts and you're likely to get more feedback. ;)

[Sir Brickalot]

I don't know how to...

[Kaijumeister]

You've done a great job using the pieces from the jet alternative model, a solid effort and model overall, so well done! I especially like the way you did the front of the tractor.

[Sir Brickalot]

Thanks dude! Funny, I really don't like the front! I pity the Lego designers that create b models
