Roughneck Hoverbike

[_zenn]

I watched 3 seasons of BSG last week, currently watching the 4th... It got me interested in building more civilian type space crafts.





Roughneck; a octan hoverbike inspired by 'Battlestar Galactica'.

Use of Octan: Awesome. I love the use of Octan colors.

This bike is incredibly detailed and looks like one from Battlestar Galactica.


Random Fact: Since Octan is a brand and is copyrighted, LEGO could legally open a gas station and sell gas!

Great one! NPU at the Snowtrooper helmet here!

And yet, it also has that Hess truck quality to it. Why would Hess need a space shuttle or jump jet? Why would Octan use a hoverbike to deliver gas?

Just me being confused.

I like the connection with the minifig hips and cart wheel base thingy. I never think of those kinds of things.

ThnQ, lol I never knew that.

Thanks, I like to mess around with pieces and try some weird ideas.

It wasn't my intention to confuse you but maybe he could also just be a maintenance guy on his way to an offworld mining rigg.

Ah, true.

Very cool! You're quite good at building hoverbikes, I just tried my hand at it and it seems kinda hard! I built mine around the dirtbike from the Indiana Jones sets. Might post it and see if you (the expert) have any tips.

Also it is going into my new SHIP

The dirtbike was my first hoverbike I build. Love to see your take on it!

Yeah, sitting on a big Octan tank and flying open in space, really a thing I'm looking for. Beside all the funny stories I like the details and design. I guess fun to play!

Hey _zenn...

I have seen other bikes by you and I was wondering about one of your techniques...

How do you mount the little wheel rims on the bikes? I need to know how for my attempt at a bike.

Thanks!
