Flash Gordony type flying skiff.

[Randal]

I was goofing around with technic pieces and accessories and somehow it evolved into this. I'm too tired to put up the extra screenshots I took, so I'm just going to post the comic I used it in. It came out looking very Flash Gordony... so that's how I approached the comic. I'll process the other pics and put them up here later.

The parts I'm most satisfied with are the exhaust set-up and the general side profile shown in the inset panel.

Interesting design 'Randal' - is it based around the 1980's movie or 1930's film serial ?

I would like to see more and really I'm a conformist! !

Well, as I mentioned, it's not based around anything. I was just noodling around with technic pieces and what look like mainly Bionicle accessories (though I'm certain the wings are from Lego Batman.) Once I couldn't get anything else on there without making it look worse, I stopped and looked at what I had.

At that point I thought. "Looks sort of Flash Gordon-y"... so I figured with the outfit he could actually be Flash, but escaping from Ming by dressing up as one of his guards. I guess with the color scheme, you could say the 80's Flash, but even 80's Flash didn't have this much greeble.

Basically, I thought to myself, I can sit here and apply what other people have done, or I can noodle around and maybe stumble upon something of my own. I can tell you I will be using those spine looking things to surround other propulsion systems in the future. it looks cool that way and it also looked cool when I had them reversed.

Wow, that's one cool ship! Very unique idea, and well executed.
