Posted September 11, 20168 yr Hello Everyone! This is my first post on this forum, after a long period of lurking. I want to show you my first "serious" MOC. By saying "serious" I mean that this is the first creation that I made by having a plan, scaling correctly the dimensions and buying parts from BL. It's an attack helicopter hugely inspired -but not identical to- by the russian Mil-Mi 24. I tried to create a minifig scaled version (1:45 circa), the final lenght come out more than 50 cm. WP_20160419_12_28_29_Pro by Luca Gaudenzi, su Flickr It has some play features and many little details: Spinning rotors; Retractable langing gear (with omnidirectional front wheel); Opening canopies; Adjustable pilot seats; Openable cargo compartment (could carry 8 minifigures fully equipped for mission); Front target acquisition system; Front heavy machine gun; Twin side cannons; Twin spinning rocket launchers and various types of missiles under the wings. As you can see there, it fits nicely with this minifig scaled buddy (5892 Sonic Boom) WP_20160419_12_43_34_Pro by Luca Gaudenzi, su Flickr I also made a mini-diorama for display when i showed it to a local lego fair: a helipad with refueling truck, weapon loading vehicle, ladders and the good guys preparing for the mission: WP_20160425_10_22_51_Pro by Luca Gaudenzi, su Flickr More photos on my flickr album. I hope you like it!!

September 12, 20168 yr Love the sleek design and the menacing look of it! Got me thinking, how would it look like if you would use these parts as windshield? http://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-4621774 I think it would work pretty well with the overall sleek look of it.

Got me thinking, how would it look like if you would use these parts as windshield? http://brickset.com/...ng-part-4621774 I think it would work pretty well with the overall sleek look of it. That's a good idea, I will definitely try it!The half dome canopies maybe are the part that started it all, altough in origin they were trans neon green (they came from 8104 shadow crawler). I think that the cockpit you suggested is maybe one of the few types that I haven't tried, but that's the golden rule of MOCs: "to have at least 10 times the parts needed for the project" :laugh:
