Does the Spartan taste like peppermint?

Mmm... DELICIOUS!

LOL

Kyle, both of these MOCs rock!

The Spartan’s cockpit looks very room and probably gives awesome situational awareness to the pilot and wizzo. The oversized front gun is also nice, but I just wish it were in either grey or black, just to make it look meaner. Likewise with the missiles... Perhaps an orange/red/blue/black 2x2 round plate as an accent to distinguish them from the rest of the ship? That said, they look pretty cool clustered as they are... I’m going to have to steal that idea, sorry. :-p

The Wolverine reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog, heh. It’s so small that I wonder whether it can operate on its own without a mothership. It just has that “cockpit-strapped-onto-tiny-engine” TIE fighter look, which is pretty darn cool if you ask me. I can just imagine a whole bunch of them swarming out of some gigantic carrier.

One question: What part did you use for the missile tubes on the Wolverine?

Keep on posting Kyle!

Good to hear from you, Mladen! I’ve gotten other comments (on previous MOCs, too) about introducing additional accent colors. Once I start blocking the colors, I have a tendency to go as strict as my parts will allow. I like your idea of orange accents on the missiles, though (not red, too Christmas-y with the green and white). I hope you do steal that missile configuration, I’d like to see what you do with it!

The missile tubes on the Wolverine are parts that came in the Dino Attack tank set. They were used as spacers for the tread wheels. That’s the only set I’ve seen them in, but I’m by no means a parts expert.

Thanks for the comments!
