I tried to scale down the design of my last MOC, the Pinpoint, to come up
with an entry for the one-man category in the Military Hover contest. The
result is the Shuriken (so-named because it comes flying in real fast to
cause hurt):
At a length of 20 studs, I was thinking it would squeak in to the one-man
category, but its 17 stud width exceeds the 10 stud maximum. Actually, I
think at least two of the current entries are also wider than 10 studs, so
I’ll leave elligibility up to the judges.
The design was not terribly parts intensive, so I did a few other versions in
different colors, with some design variations:

mocpages entry for more verbiage.
PLMKWYT. I’d actually like specific feedback, if you don’t mind, on a couple
items:
1. Which color scheme did you like best? (If you didn’t like any of them,
let me know that too)
2. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to improve the guns?
Thanks!

Man alive... Those things are so cool! The yellow colour scheme is the best
IMHO. Of course, it’d be kinda easy to spot. On the other hand, by the time
these come into production, spotting ships of any colour or design will be
really easy anyway, so camouflage will be kinda obsolete. There must be
something about the ‘things sticking out all over the place for no apparent
reason, but looking cool all the same’ look. If only I had more curved
bricks... Oh yeah, I almost forgot... The not so good... I guess I forgot it
because there’s hardly any. I don’t see the point in reviewing if you don’t
give an overall picture though... So here goes...
I still don’t know what those things at the back are for... Street cred I
guess... Don’t take them away though (they look really kinda cool). The wheels
on the back of that red one just look... boring IMHO. They’re a bit of a
letdown methinks (But I didn’t really like the colour scheme itself, the
contrast is a bit harsh IMHO). I don’t like that orange colour scheme. It
looks a bit tame. I can’t imagine it blasting out advanced weaponry... No.
As for weaponry... There definitely needs to be some sort of a gun in the
middle. Maybe a swively one where the slope brick is above the canopy... As
you can see here:
There needs to be total destruction everywhere in front of it, it just doesn’t
seem to have a wide enough range at the moment.
Oh yeah, sorry I left the worst to last. I really do like this model... I can’t
stress just how cool it is. I can’t get my head round the techniques you
used... It’s amazing. You use Lego in a really clever way.

| (...) Thanks for the compliments, Peter, I'm glad you liked these MOCs. You're suggesting a gun mounted just above the cockpit? I may try that, but I wouldn't want the gun to be in line with the exit vector of the dorsal missile launcher, so it (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
