Posted March 6, 20168 yr Skip the following 2 paragraphs if you want the relevant build post. Despite all the other SNOT technique built models here on eurobricks, my constructs are primitive compared to everything else I've seen here thus my reluctance to post this plane here. I've only 'recently' (almost a year ago) came out of a mini-dark age that was preceded by a 13 year or so dark age. Me and my girlfriend have definitely enjoyed the few modulars we have assembled. The Mobile Crane was my first big set since my long time 'dark age'. Then I got the Arocs, then 2 days later got the Volvo 350. As much as I love Technic, I still enjoy the playability and 'simplicity' of Town. Despite being 35, I still do the sound effects for cars, boats, planes, spacecraft, etc... :P Previously, I knew exactly what parts I've had in my Lego bin so I knew what I could build - even when I returned from my long time dark age. Me and some friends built a moderate sized collection of simple vehicles and nearly exhausted all my available Lego parts (I built an atmospheric capable spacecraft). Then I entered into another year and a half long dark age. It ended when I bought a Lego lot off ebay, not long after that, I acquired another person's Lego collection. Now I have no idea what parts I have. I ended up building a 2nd plane (cargo plane with loading ramp). After moving I went through my pieces again and, I decided to build a '737' styled passenger plane using the Octan colors, I had a a lot of white bricks. It went through a 'rough build' and was modified several times to achieve the look it has now. It originally only had open spaces for windows, and a lame looking cockpit windscreen which prompted my first ever bricklink build. Ordered all of someone's aircraft window collection and a lot of other windscreens from the same person. The rear needs a little work, but I'm lacking the needed slopes to make it how I want it to look. This is my 2nd largest aircraft (out of 6) and possibly me and my girlfriend's favorite MOC. Maybe some point I'll post the others. The design is highly inspired off a 737 passenger plane. Actual: • Total capacity of 33 minfigs. • 3 passenger capacity • Pilot and a co-pilot. • Small head at rear of plane. • 8 stud width. • 85 stud long. • 72 stud wingspan. • 24 stud height. Fictional ('Legoverse' Specs): • Owner: Octan Airlines, Regional Carrier • 2 medium bypass turbofans. 25,800 hp each • 560 mph top speed (440 max cruise) • 3,400 mile range Octan 737"Gallery" http://mgcjerry.net/forum_images/Lego/?dir=Octan-737
