[MOC] Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle

[Vdog]

Hi Eurobricks members.

As some of you know I like to design Lego mocs on Bricklink Studio, due to limited building space. I have designed a new moc "Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle" that has been accepted into the Bricklink Designer Program series 6 fan vote, which takes place from October 7th to 18th. There are 300 fabulous mocs to choose from and I highly recommend checking them all out here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/main.page?_refreshrnd=31277&page=13 Bricklink will choose 5 winners out of the 300 entries based on fan votes and brand fit. (1 small, 2 medium, 2 large)

Description

Introducing the Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle The XG-88 is the newest model of Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle to join the Octan Corporation's fleet of next day shipping across the galaxy.

Powered by 3 asteroid fusion core engines, this new model of Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle can cross the Milky Way galaxy, 3 parsec's faster then the old model it replaces. This model has a large cargo bay, and has ample space to hold two 6x8 pallets of quality goods. The cargo bay can be accessed 3 ways, from large doors on the port, starboard, and aft.

Piloted by the legendary star pilot Max Sprocket, and his trusty yellow droid Rotax-5. This dynamic duo has the best delivery record in the Corporation, routinely delivering parcels on routes abandoned by other star pilots. They have even made deliveries in their Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle to dangerous locations like Station Xenolith 6 and the infamous planet Zotax.

Max Sprocket thinks YOU would make a great star pilot, if you had a chance to fly a Aeronautical Delivery Vehicle like this.

 

The key elements of all good Lego Spaceships are swooshability, and playability. My initial design versions of my Octan ship all came out blocky with cargo area's that were not accessible for play. It was during this design phase that I purchased and built set #60440 the Yellow Delivery Truck.

The build process and playability of set #60440 are very high and the printed tile used for the side of the trailer is worth buying the set just for it. I was inspired by the trailer to design the cargo area of the "aeronautical delivery vehicle" which resulted in the version I submitted to Bricklink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for you time and consideration,

If you feel that this moc would be a good fit for your space fleet, please considering leaving a "Love it!" vote and comment on Bricklink.

Neat! There really should be a megathread for Octan-themed builds; they're always so cool.

I really like the cockpit!

Fantastic! Reminds me of the Octan delivery ship from The Lego Movie, it's also nice to know it is swooshable!
