Toa_Of_Justice Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) UPDATE: See real-life photos of this model in the next post. I have been looking at the insectoid forces in sets 70700, 70701, and 70707 for a long time, imagining what it would be like if they were all combined into one large bug. Before building the Cosmic Winger in real life, I decided to design it in LDD. I ended up using every single piece of each insectoid vehicle/creature in my combo model.

In addition, I have made a "stinger bomb" out of the pieces left over after building the Cosmic Winger itself (I hope to get got the jackhammer to fit more tightly in real life). When I have time to build, I'll post pictures of the real thing, but if you have any suggestions for the digital model, I can make any necessary modifications before I build it. Bugging Out, -Toa Of Justice EDIT: That big green thing in the back of the Cosmic Winger isn't a cocoon prison. Although it's shaped like one (and could technically fit a minifigure), it's actually the hyperdrive engine, with a thruster at the very end. EDIT 2: See the next post for the real thing!

Sir Brickalot Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Nice one! Reminds me of a beefed up Space Swarmer. Quote
bkdotlego Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Oh great! Space bugs! Why does it always have to be space bugs?! Great MOC! Definitely looks like a mutant swarmer. Very cool! Thanks for the LDD! Quote
Junpei Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Wow! That looks awesome. It's amazingly well designed and it's incredible that it uses every single part. TLH Quote
