Spaceship Moc

[KZN02]

The original plan was to make a thin, streamlined rocket, then I went for a pogo stick (I had a shock absorber which I never seem to use in MOCs), and then to this.Gallery

I quite enjoy making this kind of thing. There are things I like here and things I don't. The use of the double pin/axel piece at the front doesn't work for me, but the pins at the back look brilliant. I think most of all it would benefit from the addition of another colour, and less generic lego pieces. I find transparent parts work well for this kind of thing in small amounts. And 2008 sets had a lot of good parts for this kind of thing, the Phantoka Jet Packs and Wings, Mistika turbines and fin pieces. If you're sticking with a single colour, I'd recommend using perhaps silver or grey instead, as the solid black look doesn't work that well.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the newer pieces, I just went with whatever was black.
