 | | Interesting Use of #30031 in Micro Walkways
|
|
I haven't posted in quite a while, but I thought this was worth sharing. I was making a 1-wide walkway for a microscale creation, and I needed a nice way to terminate it, with an "observation platform" look. I ended up using part (URL) 30031> to (...)

(...) Inverting the outer wing pannels is a result of using these old-school hinge (URL) pieces>. I wanted to use these parts as they allow for the outer pannels to fold up and act like a wing-spar. They provide significant structural support for (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) You are right. Moving the nose gear foward would have taken up too much room and not allowed enough room for a pilot in the cockpit. He's stuffed in there pretty good as it is. This MOC was all about compromise given the compressed scale I was (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Douglas, Very nice, thanks for sharing! I especially really like your use of curved bricks on the top of the fuselage and the weapons under the wings. A replica F4 would have a two man cockpit and a few othe features, but there's nothing wrong at (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Unless you're building in a very large scale, LEGO can only approximate real life. Don't worry about it; the aircraft looks good. The wings interest me. Why are they studs down on the ends? (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Vool MOC here! I esp. like how you captured the look of the unique spine of the Phantom's fuselage. I understand that you have compressed the design and I know all about fighting Lego elements when copying something from the Real World, but I (...)

Here is a MOC inspired by the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F-4 Phantom. The MOC is mini-fig scale in that it can hold a fig. However, the actual scale is compressed to using the small wheels as engines and the technic-air scoop piece as intakes. (...)

Hi, Arthur. Excellent model! That downside-out building method really does allow you to capture the feel of this cathedral at this scale in a way that "normal" building would not. I'm also happy to see you've added the new outdoor photos to your (...) (17 years ago, 8-Jun-07, to lugnet.build)
