Batbrick Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Wow. First new MOC I've made in a while, something like a year or so I think. I'm really glad I came back here, though making this ship was a mix of joy and frustrations with added expletives for extra measure. Don't ever get back into the Lego game by trying to make a spaceship. It will destroy you! Anyway, presenting the Musa X-23 "Banana": This funny looking ship was submitted by Musa Indstries to be the potential new ship for the Galactic Space Force: While a cheaper competitor won out, fighter pilots in other branches managed to obtain one, liking its rustic aesthetic, and dubbing it the Banana: You may notice why: And if you had any lingering doubts: Engine: The cockpit holds two pilots, who switch shifts when necessary: With the top on: I managed to scoop three of Intergalactic Girl. She is the greatest Lego figure ever made, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise! Final shot: Hope you enjoyed! Batbrick Away! Quote
Piranha Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Batbrick your back! And you brought us this cool banana creation too. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Nice to have you back. Some nice greebling work - and good colour blocking. Only complaint is the side of the ship - you might want to add a bit of window on the side of the cockpit - they have no peripheral vision Quote
JackJonespaw Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Looks nice. It does looks quite like a banana, if you close both eyes... Quote
Henchmen4Hire Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 That is one mean piece of fruit Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 That is one banana you'll need to split from ! Great work 'Batbrick', Brick On while singing the theme from The Banana Splits Show ! Quote
LuxorV Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Nice to see you back Batbrick! I really like this ship of yours, with its mixture of piston-like engine, futuristic aesthetics and some submersible-styled details. Quote
Legostein Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Hello! An original starship design! Besides its obvious shape, I spent quite some time to find a hidden banana piece on its hull but didn't find any. Maybe it's juts in the pilot's lunch box. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I have to agree that the Space Girl is one of the better figures and the ship is a good fit for her. How does her ADU colleague feel about it, did he get one of the cheaper ones? Quote
Batbrick Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks everyone! Nice to have you back. Some nice greebling work - and good colour blocking. Only complaint is the side of the ship - you might want to add a bit of window on the side of the cockpit - they have no peripheral vision Thanks SI Mocs. I agree with you too about the cockpit. My idea going in was that it was largely for show as they rely more on equipment, but unfortunately I didn't have any transparent pieces that would work on the sides available. Lets just pretend they have cameras That is one mean piece of fruit Not quite. The upcoming X-24 Tomato will destroy you! Nice to see you back Batbrick! I really like this ship of yours, with its mixture of piston-like engine, futuristic aesthetics and some submersible-styled details. Thanks LuxorV, been back for a bit, but starting to get around to building things a bit more now. Hello! An original starship design! Besides its obvious shape, I spent quite some time to find a hidden banana piece on its hull but didn't find any. Maybe it's juts in the pilot's lunch box. No! I can't believe what a missed opportunity that was, espeically since i have some banana pieces spare! I'll assume your idea, its packed for eating. I have to agree that the Space Girl is one of the better figures and the ship is a good fit for her. How does her ADU colleague feel about it, did he get one of the cheaper ones? Unfortunately her ADU pilot only gets to ride shotgun. But things are looking up, as he's been assigned to the new X-24 Tomato (good grief, will I actually build that?) Thanks again everyone! Batbrick Away! Quote
Arigomi Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I like that there is room for two passengers. It gets lonely out in the cold reaches of space. Quote
KDog Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 My bug-eyed reaction upon reaching this page was, "AWESOME!!!!" Batbrick, this thing is beautiful in the way you've shaped a dynamic, unique craft out of seeming chaos. The color scheme works beautifully against all odds, and I love the roomy cockpit for two. Sweet back-story, too. Glad to see the pink spacewoman get her own ride. I FINALLY got her, and was thinking about what kind of ship she would fly if I used her in my comic. (I do have an idea for her appearance.) Quote
