macsergey Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone. I want to introduce you to my first plane. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/95723 The plane is a small single-engine propeller floatplane. in fact it is a regular plane, but which instead chassis fastened 2 float for takeoff / landing on water. Before that, I did only motor vehicles and of little buildings. To create his inspired me a new set of 2015 60070 Water Plane Chase from which you can notice, I borrowed some features of the aircraft, but made it more real, and not as a toy in the set. Some definite no real prototype, but it seems to me, it looks like a de havilland canada dhc-2, although the size, if we take the scale of 1/40, my is a bit smaller. My model is the size of a hair's breadth a Cessna 172, but the form is clearly different. so that in general a collective image. We now turn to the model and first-round visibility. The plane is white with orange stripes. back view We have wings props. I note that they are located not only at an angle, and even diagonally. The model fits one minifigures top view Now tell you a little about the functionality of the model. The cab doors open on both sides, that we could go to the pier from different sides Also, the aircraft has a small storage compartment in the rear, which is also open on both sides. It is possible to make modifications where his place will be a place for another 1-2 minifigures The pilot gets out of the cab to the pier Something gets out of the luggage compartment And finally, several artistic photo Thank you all for viewing, I'll wait for your feedback and comments.

Slick Willie Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Frickin' Sweet! Nothing nicer than a well done Lego Plane. Now I know what project I will be working on this weekend. I have to have one of these on my desk my Monday morning at work. Great work! Great texture from the various bricks. Quote
Lady K Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Very nice! I really like the clean lines of your design and the colors too. Quote
Criga88 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 That's a great little plane, it's vague enough to be based on anything but it's still full of detail. I'm definitely looking forward to more from you Macsergey. Quote
Breakdown Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Building excellence only matched by your photography excellence, really love the pic of the propeller in motion. I love the scale of everything, extremely ideal. Quote
Lankygit Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Is this the same as the one on Ideas? Either way I totally love it and I would by more than one if they appeared as a set. Now you have the fuselage and wings etc down are you going to build some more variants? Cessna Caravan on wheels would be awesome. Quote
gazumpty Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Superb work...especially as its your first crack at this type of build. I love the little ingenious deatails (the door hinges, brick built wings, the wing props etc) that all come togther to make this a really in depth build. Especially at this scale...fantastic! Love your colour decor work....hope to see you progress and develop more of these builds! Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Really well done. Great use of mixel joints for wings supports and I really like the color combinations! Edited February 19, 2015 by Zblj Quote
mdgas Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Very nice work! How stable is the plane with just the clips holding it up? Quote
macsergey Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 Thank you all for your feedback on my model, I'm glad you liked it Now I know what project I will be working on this weekend. I have to have one of these on my desk my Monday morning at work. I can lay out later model made in LDD Is this the same as the one on Ideas? you mean lego ideas? no, it's entirely my design, inspired by a set of 60070 Quote
Kodan Black Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Cool looking little plane, with some nice play features. Supported! Quote
jfbat Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Nicely executed, but I think your chances on ideas are slim. There's a very similar idea on there already and - as you mentioned yourself - lego actually has a set out now with an also very similar (but a bit simpler) plane in 60070. Quote
