Swoosh Fighter, Space Action Hero Rodney Bistline posts: 388 |  This image has been resized. Click here for the original. I had a lot of fun building and swooshing the Sparrow Swoosh Fighter, so I wanted to build something else similar to it using some similar techniques. While I was at it, I figured I'd make it shaped like the CS logo for the contest...  This image has been resized. Click here for the original. Flickr Brickshelf Thanks for taking a look!

King of this Office Chair Peter Morris posts: 1140 | I agree. I have a ton of those windscreens, but have yet to figure a way to use them that felt right. This looks great, though. I like that it's small. It is immediately in contrast to the other CSF Banner entries, which all seem to be much larger. It's also a challenge to get landing gear onto something that small, but you've done a great job of that! Excellent little build. "Don't be a dumbass, son." - CBM, Jr. (paraphrased by me). | ||

Panarch Paul B. Hartzog posts: 439 | Yep, that's a good 'un! I love the black stripe that demarcates the orange from the white.  | ||

| Jean-Pascal RIGNAULT posts: 763 | Splendid! The overall shape and colouring work well for me. As already mentioned, the integration of a landing gear is a nice plus, even though it looks a bit strange to have wheels front and suckers on the back (yes I know...). The suckers are very ingenious, by the way, I dig the use of the light grey tap. JP. | ||

The Hypotech-guy Niels Bugge posts: 2058 | Very cute I really like the angle of the wings and the black and dark red stripe. Perhaps a grey 4x4 cone? It's really hard to get a sense of the general shape here with two greys, the dark one in shadow:  Cheers NB If you want suggestions, ask for it ...now, go and make the next one better | ||

| Swoosh Fighter, Space Action Hero Rodney Bistline posts: 388 | It seems that "cute" is one overall impression. I'll take that. I like to think of my building style as rather caricatured--somewhat cartoonish and exaggerated but with an element of realism too. I actually tweaked the landing gear a little and I'm pretty happy with it--I put a disk on the front gear to match the back, because the previous strut kept reminding me of wheels, as someone else pointed out.

Runs Bartertown Main Admin Dan Rubinposts: 1040 | It's cute and swooshable. I'm not a fan of the engine, though. What if you replaced the 4x4 cone with a 4x4 cone with 2x2 hole in the center, and the added something else inside the hole? -Dan NewBrickOrder Lego Ambassador | ||

Ideally that's what I would have liked to do, but alas I don't have that part in old dark gray... I'm not even sure if they made those...

Shameless constructor of chicken walkers Zach posts: 376 | Little and fun. I agree, the engine needs some work; maybe something busier... "Hey, What's this button do?" "It makes it explode." "Can I push it?" "Yes" "Really?" "NO!" | ||
