The weeks leading up to and following MWBC have been a time of busy building for
me, and so I’ve got a few things to share with you all today...
A Moonbase Module bunker for the PCS Star Ranger forces:
^Click the pic for Brickshelf, or click
this link for the Mocpage where I will ramble on and on about the construction
and display of the module.
The Jade Empire Shi hovercraft:
^Brickshelf or the Mocpage
A small one-man ground-based fightercraft that was based on the Manta vehicle
from Unreal Tournament 2004. Shi means “to sting.”
See another Manta-inspired craft by Rick Hallman
here.
Those of you saw my Nacon Hovership at NWBC were the last to see it intact. I brought it home and
decided its time had come and the parts needed to go back into my collection for
use in other mocs. Since it was my biggest moc thus far, I decided
to document the
deconstruction process as a single large Matrix-inspired hovership was broken
down to its 1400 elements.
But fear not, for the Humans still resist the Machines...in the form of
Jamie Neufeld’s Zoar
Hovership. Jamie’s hovership such a neat little craft that I finally broke down
and built a couple for myself which were displayed at NWBC with Nacon, and you
can see here by clicking the pic above. Or click here for the Mocpage, because I feel like talking about this creation,
too.
If you’ve got suggestions for the Shi hovercraft or the bunker, I’m all ears.
There’s parts of both mocs that I am not happy with, and I’m totally up for
changing things around if I get any good ideas from someone. The bare top of the
radar dish on the bunker roof is particularly enticing to me, but I’ve yet to
come up with a weapon or sensor to put there that I am happy with. As for the
hovercraft, the sides seem a bit bare and exposed to me, so any ideas for
greebling or armor plating or weapons are appreciated.
Thanks for looking!
Ry

| I dig the little outpost. I could see a smattering of them around the perimeters of a moonbase with tunnels leading to each one for quick access to hot spots. I do agree, there should be a small frap ray of some sort either on top of the main (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Really cool. A nice addition to moonbase. I like all the small hatches and how it's built in the ground. (...) I looooove the compactness of this one. It just looks small and fast. Well done. I wouldn't change much on this one. (...) Very nice (...) (20 years ago, 17-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
