With this MOC I present my second version of a Fremen Ornithopter. My original MOC was heavily based on bt.bricks Fremen Ornithoper which can be found here: https://btbricks.gumroad.com/l/ornithopter-fremen I wanted to make the Ornithopter more accurate in regards to the small Ornithopter Paul and Jessica used in Dune Part I. This new design is a complete overhaul to overcome a lot of the limitations of my original MOC and to make it also more movie accurate. The differences to my original version include the following: a full redesign of the main body, resulting in a "smoothed" outer shape another result of the body redesign is, that the part between the blade connectors and the cockpit shrunk by 2 studs full redesign of the cockpit with new side canopies (either part 3383 or part 65633) the blade connectors are now really sturdy no "wobbly" blade positioning anymore - move a blade and it stays instantly in place an overhaul of the wing blades themselves another overhaul of the tail new landing gear which is now capable of carrying the Ornithopter's weight on its own The MOC is available on rebrickable.

Display Stand for the LEGO Atreides Royal Ornithopter I usually publish RC - MOC instructions on Rebrickable. Some weeks ago I asked people on rebrickable, what kind of RC conversion they would prefer for the Ornithopter. During that I showed a quick Rendering of a Base for the Thopter. The folks on Rebrickable liked it so much, that I developed a prototype and published BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS Features Ornithopter can be displayed parked (wings folded and landing gear extracted) or flying (wings unfolded, landing gear retracted transparent support contains locking mechanism (optional) for safety but it only takes seconds to unlock and remove the Ornithopter no special modification of the Ornithopter needed desert is mostly tiles, has 2 dunes and a studded area for placement of mini-figures bricks are fairly cheap and widely available most bricks are tan or dark bluish gray, so they can be re-used easily Part prices A lot of people over on rebrickable seem not to care about part prices and availability. I do! You should be able to buy the bricks and a display should not cost as much as the set. Ornithopter color correction - free instructions And since I am on it: I made free instructions (see my MOC) to swap all those red, yellow and orange bricks on the ornithopter into black and gray. And if you want to help me, tell me How you would prefer a motorization (RC MOD): OPTION-A: Internal Motor, just driving the wings (maybe! the landing gear too) Most likely Power Functions (no extendions for Powered Up) battery box external (any) or in the cockpit (buwizz or china-remote) OPTION-B: External Motor inside a Base, driving the wings and also making the ornithopter start and land and also controling the landing gear (Yes, a single motor could do that, I have an idea) OPTION C: Multiple external motors driving the wings, landing gear and moving the ornithopter like it's hovering while flying
