Benk Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 This is one of my latest mocs, the mosquito. It is a lightweight fighter/scout vehicle - very agile. I am especially pleased with all the angles. It is my first spaceship in a few years so I'd love to know what you guys think Quote
The Rancor Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) It looks like it belongs as part of those relatively new space sets Good Job I like the use of Hikaru's face with the Rebel Pilot helmet, it matches very well! The plane engines also work well. I just wish the Astro Fighter was like this Edited May 12, 2008 by The Rancor Quote
Asuka Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 A very cool looking little fighter in a great color scheme. The greeble blends in fantastic and adds to the overall organic look of that fine craft. Quote
SuvieD Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Hey, it isn't studless. I counted 20 studs at least. That being said it is still too unlegoish for me. Nice little ship though. Why is it the mosquito? I expected longer legs, big wings, and a stinger. Instead I see a cute little scout craft. I can see dozens of the little ships buzzing around a larger one, so in that sense it works. I would have done it differently but it is looking really nice as is. I like all the little correctional thrusters everywhere. It looks like it would fly circles around most ships. Quote
Benk Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks everyone! Hey, it isn't studless. Where did I say it was? Why is it the mosquito? I expected longer legs, big wings, and a stinger. Instead I see a cute little scout craft. I can see dozens of the little ships buzzing around a larger one, so in that sense it works. I would have done it differently but it is looking really nice as is. Well I didnt build it around the name, I just started building a spaceship. I called it the mosquito because of the way it sits, the gun on the front and a personal thing too (well kind of). You see my Great uncle made a car with the brother of Geoffrey de Havilland who made many famous WW2 aircraft. One of my favourite of his planes was the Mosquito And It has 2 engines and a round cockpit so I figured I should call it that. I might try building that plane some day... Anyway that is why it is called the mosquito. As for it's purpose, who knows.... .... -Benk Quote
Brickmaster Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I love this little thing, saw it on brickshelf before I really like the angles of the wings, and just how fast and agile it looks. I have no complaints about it whatsoever. The engines and everything else are very fitting. Good stuff! Quote
Jipay Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Nice MOC benk ! I especially like the little canon in front of the vehicule Quote
WhiteFang Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Nice plane! It looks small and deadly. It can fly at a lightning speed. Looks real neat. Somehow it reminded me of the miniature version of V-19 Torrent (Star Wars) Quote

Anyway that is why it is called the mosquito. As for it's purpose, who knows.... .... The de Havilland Mosquito was always one of my favourite warplanes alongside the Focke-Wulf and P-38 Lightning. The fact that it was made a lot out of wood always fascinated me. Now onto the main subject Fantastic moc here Benk, I love the whole look of it and clever use of pieces. I don't usually like the whole "using pieces for things you wouldn't expect" angle, but here it serves a good purpose and actually looks really good and fits in. Great job with the whole thing, I love the colour scheme too. Batbrick Away! Quote
Benk Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Nice MOC benk ! I especially like the little canon in front of the vehicule Thanks Jipay! Nice plane! Tank you, but it is a spacecraft..... nevermind Now onto the main subject Fantastic moc here Benk, I love the whole look of it and clever use of pieces. I don't usually like the whole "using pieces for things you wouldn't expect" angle, but here it serves a good purpose and actually looks really good and fits in. Great job with the whole thing, I love the colour scheme too. I thank you kindly. What piece did I use for a thing you didnt expect? just curious. -Benk Quote
soman Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Great job! Nice detail in the wing I love the back of the plane. Quote
iamded Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Ah, SNOTy, yet still with greebs! My favourite kind of MOC! This is really cool, Benk, I love the landing gear, they add detail when up and they look good when down too. Very sleek and a neat colour scheme too, great job! ~Peace Quote
Batbrick Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I thank you kindly. What piece did I use for a thing you didnt expect? just curious. Perfectly alright, the phones and wrenches (? I should know that, my day uses them all the time ) were the pieces I was referring too. I also was referring to pieces like a couple of 1x1s and dishes used in clever way, which turned out very neat. Batbrick Away! Quote
