   The Disc Racer

This was a chance to use some dark red and other parts aquired in BrickFest purchases. I really like the clean studless look (which Phil Painter does really well). It’s funny how the last two ships I’ve built (the Spiffcraft and this one) are circular, but the building technique is completely different. Just about all of the SNOT in this one is thanks to more than 20 1x1 Technic beams with half-pins.

Some tricky parts with this MOC included fitting the flaps and landing gear (inspired by Jon’s T-Wing) into a space no more than one brick thick. I think it turned out pretty well.

Please LMKWYT! Comments, questions, criticisms, etc encouraged.

Bram, wow. This is one sweet little craft. Love the contrast of the sleek round flat disc with the fin and cockpit/engine. Some pro-crazy snotwork you’ve got going there. And the use of dark red where and how you did really adds to it; makes it look even faster. Great flaps with the flags, and the greebled underside is sweet. That landing gear config is so nice. Also, great work using that evil cockpit piece and getting the whole fig inside. Doors - why didn’t I think of doors! :-)

Awesome.
