Blacktron V2

Built for the Novvember Vic Viper pool thingy. Yay for two-pronged fighters!

I never knew I had any Blacktron pieces, but when I found that nose piece in the bottom of a box when building, I knew I had to build it Blacktron. When I (finally) finished it, it looked good enough to post as a nice little swarm fighter, but I personally don't think it's one of my best.

The nose pops off with a technic pin, by the way. Inspired by all those Blacktron sets that separate into like three pieces.

Looking good. I really dig how you used slopes for the wings. I don't get pee out of it though. :?

Really quite superb building as always, doc X. Really makes me want to build. Maybe after a nap. And food. And more sleep. And a shower. And more sleep. Then build.

One thing though: you do know there already was blacktron 1 and blacktron 2, right? This would kinda be blacktron 3.

As I said on CS, the hull looks cool but it's missing guns. You could mount them on those two handle pieces on top.

Thanks bubs!

And yes, those bars on top were intended for mounting interchangeable guns.. I just haven't built any yet.

Interchangable guns are a great idea.
