    Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
   Hi all, My name is Magnus Lauglo, some of you may know me from the castlehead newsgroup or remember me from BrickFests past. Recently though, Rick Hallman's Hover Vehicle contest gave me inspiration to lay down my sword and Black Falcon's shield and (...)

     Cool ship, definitely reminiscent of the Hind. Also reminds me of the Orca hoverships from Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun. Neat stuff! -Stefan- (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)

        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —David Simmons
     Very cool! The curved spindle railings as gun shielding, the 2x2x10 column in the spine, and the 1/4 circle curved wall are my favorite brick uses in the model. The tan/white color scheme is aces! I always love HUD's, always. One of the easiest ways (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
     Dave, (...) Thanks, I was quite happy with the way the curved wall section worked as part of the body. The curved spinindle railings are supposed to be ammunition rays for the wing cannon. (...) Thanks, much appreciated! Magnus (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Kyle Vrieze
     (...) snip (...) snip Seeing the demon, I immediately thought of the Hind, so your inspiration came through very clearly. I love the tan/white camo color scheme, I'd like to see more mech and sci-fi MOCs in that scheme, but of course parts are hard (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
    
         Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
     Kyle, (...) Thanks! The round quarter walls were quite useful in that regard. Magnus (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —David Rabadan
     (...) Hey Magnus. A MOC like that makes me glad for your return to this genre I think this drop ship is very well done. The landing gear is perfect for it and the color scheme works great. The Hind is one of my favorite helicopters and I often find (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
     David, (...) Thanks! I'm quite positive that the Hind D must have been the inspiration behind the Republic Gunship design. I'm glad to hear you think MK II is an improvement, - I'm assuming that looking "mean" is a good thing in this context (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —David Rabadan
     (...) Oh totally man, it looks like it can "bringit!" (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Gil Shaw
     (...) Hey! This is a great number...as said, that colour scheme is sadly underused and a refreshing break from our usual 'grey + X' dealio. I quite like how you married up the base of the canopies on to the hull without it having that stuck on look. (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
     Gil, (...) Thanks for the kind words. This kind of landing gear is very simple to make as long as you have two a long thin paralell surfaces to mount it on. On a smaller ship it could be more lightweight and sleeker looking. I'm still not 100% happy (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Mark Sandlin
   (...) I think the engines need a little work, but the overall look and feel of the MOC is solid. I like the use of the column piece on top. I also like how you used white on the bottom to simulate a military color scheme. Well done. -Grand Admiral (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
   Mark, Thanks! Now that you mention it, perhaps the engines could be bigger. Or did you just mean they could be more interesting/use more greebles? Magnus (...) Thanks! Now that you mention it, perhaps the engines could be bigger. Or did you just (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Mark Sandlin
   (...) I meant they could use some refinement. Right now the engines have a wheel hub attached to the back of a flat surface. It could use a bit of work around the wheel hub to make it look more like an engine exhaust and less like a wheel hub (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: Demon hover drop ship MOC —Magnus Lauglo
