Two new creations. ^_^ VTOL C-STIPP And some rabbits.

[Gunney]

What your looking at is my culmination of the Hornet and the Proto-Landing Gear ship you saw earlier. Both, had their downfalls (Blocky size with no excuse)

Now, I give you a VTOL (C)lose-(S)upport (T)ripple (I)ntellegiance (P)aradrop (P)lane. Though technically its not a Paradrop, I'd like to be able to call it the Cee-Stip plane, for ease of name.

Anyways, reason why it looks the way it does is because I decided I was not happy with the Proto, the Hornet, nor the Troop Transport I had. Despite my love for blocky, even I realize sometimes thats just not an excuse. I decided for something that needs the blocky, yet still has aesthetic pleasing, plus practical application.
It has a crew of two plus 3 passengers, has Radar ontop, and twing gatlings for close support. Basically functioning as the C-130, A-10, and (I forgot the designation for the Radar-Aircraft)





This, is the Jack Rabbit. I wanted something rugged, easy to produce, and not built out of hard to find pieces. I also wanted something that could give my peaches an edge in placeing those rockets into the enemy.
Simple, repeater lasers ontop with back-seat riders give this cheap vehicle an effectie place on the battlefield.

Now please, give me those comments. I need inspiration! Im not a great lego builder, I can't create those wonderful pieces of work some people make, I NEEED input! *sobs* Really, I do!

The Jack Rabbits are really cool. do you think that you could post some close ups or better yet, instructions. I have three of those windshields waiting to be used for something.

Alright, but your more than welcome to improve on them. They're, like msot everything I make, very blocky and more or less just first stage building. Im always trying to improve.

First off, the main base plate is 12 studs long, but the front and rear pieces to accomodate the windshield/rear platform make it 14 studs long. Excluding the tires, it is 6 studs wide. The back piece, (Picture display, is a U shape that is 4 studs tall. It'd be three studs, but those singular pieces help secure the rear platform I have.



This is the main chassis. Simple, easy, expandable.



Remember that bottom left item in that picture. Its the cover that secures both the mounted laser turret + coverd the driver.



This is an important piece, else you can't build this version of the Jack Rabbit.



Snap on the windshield, and its looking good.



Add on the hatch and my rear platform, and your golden.

The JackRabbit is certainly impressive, and is a perfect Brikwars vehicle.
Maybe could use some guns, but i like them!
