niteangel Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) While some people build their brick cities with more and more cars and planes, I always want mine to be more than that. It should evolve with new technology. I bought the set 7686 for some parts, but what was left was for something more intriguing. I always have the idea to make a more futuristic plane. C'mon, with Tony Stark in my city, I guess the city can benefit from his technology! Haha, so I recreated the "chopper", and embrace the future with a new design! I did some sketches first, all based on the plane Orca in C&C computer game. So the team reassembled! The orange rescue and repair team now includes the standard flatbed truck 60017, and on the right it is my another MOC Wheel-lift Wrecker, and this time we are to see the middle truck, the Orca Carrier and its plane! I imagine that this technology is just new, and in later years when the world war breaks out again in the C&C era (like 2050-21XX I guess), the Orca is transformed to an attack fighter. Anyway, that means this little plane is a precedent to the Orca fighter! The truck, while carrying the plane and transporting it, also provides tools and supply for maintaining the plane. Hey man, time for a little flight test! Two full throttle engines make this plane fly better than a chopper, probably! Overview of the plane... The tail...you can also see the engines now move to horizontal position, which is a flying mode. There is a landing gear at the tail that can be folded up. The two floodlights are perfect for search and rescue work! The truck also has an outdoor-use radar and computer system, that helps the pilot to locate himself on the plane during rescue missions. Did you see the little + hole in the middle of the plane? That is where the "tool clips" are installed for different missions. I will show you more later here how that works!

Roger_Smith Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 That looks mighty wicked. Great MOC! The chopper would work as a spacecraft aswell, maybe in SPIII livery. Quote
cei Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 That's amazing - looks totally authentic (as in, it could fly). Looking forward to seeing the modules as well. Quote
Saint Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 This looks very nice ! Love to see more variants of this !! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Interesting designs......though in my opinion it's more sci-fi than city based isn't it ? Brick On Fly On 'niteangel' ! Quote
Wedge09 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Really nice work and color scheme :thumbup: Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) That is one cool looking plane. The effects in the picture look great as well. Do you play C&C: TA? Great work Edited March 30, 2013 by LEGO Guy Bri Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 When I saw the name of this topic I immediately thought to the iconic game Command & Conquer! The orca fighter was my favorite strategic weapon ... this MOC is a masterpiece and the livery of trucks the Orca fighter is amazing! Wonderful pictures ...thanks for sharing! :thumbup: Quote
niteangel Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks to all of you for the support :D Interesting designs......though in my opinion it's more sci-fi than city based isn't it ? Brick On Fly On 'niteangel' ! Well, yes, a little bit :P I guess our brick city needs some advancement too, right? :P That is one cool looking plane. The effects in the picture look great as well. Do you play C&C: TA? Great work Yes, I did! Though I am more into Starcraft II now, haha... Quote
dr_spock Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Very nice. The plane reminds a bit of the Mars Mission. It could probably fit into that Lego theme. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Yes, I did! Though I am more into Starcraft II now, haha... Ah missed yah! Something I do on down time at work. Really wish C&C: Red Alert was MAC OS compatible Quote
Zed_43 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Really nice moc! Your "plane" is really great and original! The design is really fine and your preparation drawindgs are really nice too! For the carrier, I would have better see a tractor-trailer truck (because it is quite long and has too much wheels to turn correctly)! Quote
brickboy12 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 It reminds me of the harrier (i think) with it's engines that turn between horizontal and vertical flight. Quote
Evil Porkchop Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 That is great, I'm a huge C&C fan. I would love to see a whole line of these. Do you plan on making more C&C MOCs? Quote
Stoo73 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 It is great to be able to incorporate futuristic ideas into what are effectively time static environments such as a Lego Town. The pics are fantastic by the way, especially the plane and transporter. Quote
niteangel Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks thanks :D That is great, I'm a huge C&C fan. I would love to see a whole line of these. Do you plan on making more C&C MOCs? It is not really C&C MOCs, but some C&C vehicles definitely provide great inspiration for my next creation! Quote
loafofcheese Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Reminds me of the STAG Condor from Saints Row 3, I love it! Quote
