Narkova Drive Yards - Nighthawk
Sat Oct 17, 2015 11:47 am
Heyo!
So it's been a long while since I've posted anything on here. Sorry for just dropping off the radar like that; I got busy and distracted with IRL stuff and I haven't been able to build anything for months. But recently, inspiration struck and I took advantage of a few free hours and came up with the Nighthawk:
I was going for a spiky, almost reptilian look while also making it obvious it's a spacecraft. Lots of SNOT going on, which is fun. I also included some Bionicle and Hero Factory armor and weapons at some funky angles to give it that over-the-top feel. The engine pods are inspired by Star Wars podracers.
I'll post the link to the .lxf on the LEGO gallery when it's up. Enjoy!

Wow, that's... spikey. I like it. The engine pods look really sweet; the mix of the bioicle parts and all that adds a nice touch.

Wow, that's pointy. Really pointy. Very distinctive, though, and easily distinguishable. I like it.

Well, it's over-the-top alright.
And in a VERY good way!!! I LOVE IT! It's BEAUTIFUL!!! It's so unique! So alien... and yet not completely alien... just different. You hit every nail you stuck to this strange craft right on the head, well done!!!
