I'm caught between being paranoid that people are sneaking into my house to spy my WIP designs, and realizing that others are simply going to have the same design ideas I have eventually.
Great work, BTW.

Wow...you made the skystriker...and shared the plans I know its been talked about for ages, and people have done it before but I am tickled pink that the ldd file is right there.
So yeah, short answer looks awesome and thats another project for the pile once I get my new work area uncluttered ...But even if you don't happen to have the like 5,000 blocks it would take to make all this; it looks like Geewunner is willing and able to help us all out with that! =D Yaay Austin, you're keeping it alive! Hey thanks nervous! Have you got any builds started yet? Quote:
As far as the simiarity and timing of our recent builds...I'd like to restate what another member said to me recently: "Great minds..." ;) My thinking is that like-minded people generally tend to think along similar lines as each other. This is why when I see something that appeals to me, I share it with all of you; because I know there could be a lot more people interested in said item/build etc. |

I mentioned that I had changed a few things around from Stephen's build.
Compare below: You can see I changed the wing configuration up a little bit; but overall nothing really drastic was needed to make this the Skystriker in my mind. I love seeing all the detail he took on everything. He even included the air brake! Unfortunetely, the langing gear was not made retractable, and imo the missiles were not as close to the Skystriker as I would have liked. So at least that gives me some things to work on ;) I took a little time and upgraded the look of the load-out on my model. Skystriker.lxf and Skystriker - HTML Build Guide.pdf combined into Skystriker.zip I've updated many of my links, to even include xml files. You may want to check them out again ;) Last edited by stealthy slim; 05-18-2016 at 12:35 AM.. |

Yeah, I won't be 100pct happy until there are a few more key features added:
- Some kind of mechanism for the swing wings. Oh wait, here's one now. From Creator set 4953 - Jet Build This also seems to have some retractable landing gear. -The other thing on my wishlist would be a pair of seats designed to hold Hit-n-Run parachutes! =D |

Okay here's a second look at Usepez Morbo's Lego version of the Cobra WOLF. The original post is here

This next one is from MOCpages : Share your LEGO creations
Uspez Morbo had created his Lego GI Joe page way back in 2010! And here's his version of the WOLF! > And now here is my digital reproduction. I have labored over this design for a while now, trying get it right. One problem still left with my model, is that those front robot arms do not line-up correctly to clip onto the front ski-bar assembly. Aside from that, (and maybe some stickers) it looks to be a pretty good match, I think. What do you all think about it? And of course, here are the files for everyone: WOLF.zip Last edited by stealthy slim; 05-18-2016 at 12:36 AM.. |

Oh good, nobody's commented yet ;)
Because I haven't quite taken the time figure out how to bend treads around axles yet; On my digital reproduction of Usepez's Cobra WOLF I had deleted those tank treads to take some screenshot pics. It was only after I had made the html guide, that I noticed I had forgotten to include them back before making that guide.Lego Part 3873 - Technic Link (36 Total Required in Black) The other thing I forgot to add was: At the end of the guns, there is a black minifig hand stuck in the end of each barrel, emulating sights. (I couldn't get them to fit in right on the digital model) Lego Part 983 - Minifig Hand (2x Required in Black) Finished product should be close to this: Showing how the minifig hands are installed Enjoy! =D |

Looks good but there has to be a way to round out some of those angles... I've been busy packing up the house as we hope to move later this year and thus all my Kre-O and Lego are packed up in five 35 gallon tubs atm. That said LDD doesn't require my physical blocks, maybe I should start tinkering a bit in that. I tried to price out the Skystriker but there were too many parts my program couldn't find prices for.
Posting so you know someones reading your posts |
