Mike S Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Voice Log of Mister S: "Kara and I finally made it to the closest hangar bay on the Kameko. Due to the location of my garage in the Research and Development section of the ship, the closest hangar was also research and development. Fortunately there was a small two person fighter in the bay and Kara and I quickly hopped in it. I asked her if she knew how to fly it. She said that she didn't and that she thought that driving was my department. I started to explain the difference between driving and piloting but realized we didn't have the time. I experimented with the controls until the voice activated interface spoke up welcoming us to "The Ambassador". It only took a few sentences to have the fighter powered up and exiting the Kameko."

Graham Gidman Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, the use of Bionicle parts is perfect! Quote
mccoyed Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Really like the underside details and greebling mixed with the topside smoothness. I also like that the profile kinda looks like a big car! Quote
shmails Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, the use of Bionicle parts is perfect! I second this! Great work, love the style - very compact and powerful. Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Fantastic work, Mike! The cockpit and engines are great Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Very nice ship Mike S, the use of those Bionicle parts is great! Quote
pombe Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 At first glance, one might dismiss this ship as simple, because of how elegantly it was put together. But on closer inspection, this ship is downright complex beyond belief. The inclusion of the bionicle bricks, the SNOT work, the angles, and the fact that you went from an odd wide cockpit to an even wide engine all point to an incredibly complex build. How you managed to fit all that in a ship this size is phenomenal. On top of everything, that you managed to build this ship with such a fantastic shape and fit greebling details is a testament to your skill. Quote
NuckElBerg Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Beautiful ship Mike! Great compact design and lots of smart detail use (including but not limited to the Bionicle front)! Beautiful, I love it! Quote
Garmadon Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Fantastic ship Mike, wonderful use of the Bionicle pieces! Superb shaping overall, and the cockpit fits in very well! Quote
mrcp6d Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Another beautiful integration of System pieces and non-System pieces! The side-by-side cockpit is just plain cool too. I'm not convinced the fingers at the rear are adding anything though. Quote
aeralure Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I really like the front underside and how that's integrated with the rest of the build. Really nice Mike! Quote
narbilu Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Very nice shuttle, luv the use of bionicle parts Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Builds like this remind me of how much I still have to learn. Really great job, Sensei! Quote

The side-by-side cockpit is just plain cool too. I'm not convinced the fingers at the rear are adding anything though. Thanks! The "fingers" are multi directional thrusters enabling the craft to have good maneuvering capabilities. I thought about putting blue sticks in each but as they are only used mainly in sharp maneuvers and not on a continual basis, I opted to leave them off. There are also a few other details that I probably need to explain (such as the decoy deployment bays) but its not exactly on the top of my priority list. I really like the front underside and how that's integrated with the rest of the build. Really nice Mike! Very nice shuttle, luv the use of bionicle parts Thanks! Builds like this remind me of how much I still have to learn. Really great job, Sensei! Thanks! I'm not sure if it is learning as much as having the right pieces available. Kind of like opportunities, sometimes just being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference in the world. It really helped that I bought a bulk lot of jumper plates for another project I built years ago. Quote
Big Sal Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 As everyone has said, great use of the bionicle parts. I always think they look perfect for sci-fi builds but I can never seem to integrate them properly, whereas you've pulled it perfectly The overall shape is fantastic too! Quote
