Community Event / Creation Sidewinder, the brick version

[Scornshell]

Scornshell's brick stuff!

Hello!

I made some bricky stuff. Hope you'll like it!

The newest one is the Cobra Mk. III micro edition!
I had fun designing and applying the custom decals

Next up, a thing that looks more or less like a Sidewinder!

All of these were made in LDD, rendered with POV-Ray, then edited.

Here's another variant, without the tubes and in a spiffy blue racing livery. The stripes should make it go faster.

Also, here's a race scene mockup:

Old post with test render:

I've been making this in my spare time... it's still largely unfinished, but looked good enough for a test render

Is that Lego?

My it's come a long way since the barefoot nightmare 1x1, 2x1, 2x2, 3x2, 4x2 of my childood.

 

[Mobius]

I do love my lego.

Now Sidewinders can hurt Anacondas. Just have the Sidewinder laying on the floor of the galaxy and have the Anaconda walk over the top of it barefoot.

That, is BLOODY BRILLIANT!

Thanks for the feedback guys

I've done some small updates... still need to work on the engines and the bottom side. Here's a preview (from Lego Digital Designer):

How many votes can we get on Ideas?!

Oh and Asp next please!

 

[Scornshell]

Updated the OP to final version!

I can now finally get back to hauling fish to Aulin!

Wow!

Fantastic work! A great mix of my two most favourite things from childhood.

Any plans to generate a brick list or build instructions from the LDD for this brilliant piece of work?

 

[Scornshell]

I can upload the model file itself

The interior and the bottom part are largely placeholders, the model SHOULD in theory be held together, but it wouldn't be very suitable for playing with

Also, most of the parts have been arbitrarily painted and thus probably do not exist in that color

Here's the lxf:

[Zaptruder]

That's... astoudingly brilliant.

Going to try your hand at any others? Cobra or a Viper?

I'm going to have to buy the bricks to build these...

It would be nice to see a 'buildable' version that could stand up to a little play. With a set of instructions it's something I'd want to build.

Heard of this?

Yup, ex-Cuusoo. They don't accept anything remotely battle- or war-related. Some amazing LEGO Mass Effect concepts died because of that.

*Cough* *Cough*
There is a popular star citizen hornet, and a GUNDAM supported by the staff! If the staff supports gundams, then they should support a little sidewinder too.

 

[Scornshell]

*edit* I uploaded the Cobra Mk. III micro! Updated the OP.

It would be great if a mod could change the thread title to something like "Scornshell's brick stuff" or whatever, now that it's not only the sidewinder

 

[StayFrosty]

Wow, they look incredible.

Are these actually "Lego accurate"? Meaning, did you take some freedoms with the parts and how they assemble, or can they really be done?

Either way, I'm amazed by how truthful they look despite being in essence so small and using so little parts, this is really cool

 

[narv]

These are just fantastic and great to see them featured in the newsletter. You should definitely submit these to Lego ideas. A set of micro elite ships would be fantastic and certainly something I'd buy!

Bigger versions would also be amazing too

 

[Arnold]

Wow, these are hugely impressive.

Couldn't have put it better myself
