The 'Bouffoñ'

The 'Bouffoñ' was the first starfighter to make it out of the Royal French Industrial Shipyards. Designed more for style than for functionality, the Bouffoñ has good maneuverability but is no match for other faster, better military-grade starfighters in battle.

This thing sure was fun to build. I know it could use a bigger engine, some greebs or something, and a tailfin, but I mostly built it as an experiment.

Also, if anyone can figure out what the name of the starfighter means, a cookie for them!


That's all, bubs!

It means something, most likely something that exists in Spanish or Portuegese

I found that in Czech it means bouffon, w/o the accent. Also it means bouffons in Dutch. But in French, it means....


Jester!

Is there, you know, an engine anywhere on this thing? No wonder it's slower than an average fighter. I like the technique you used to make the wings, that and the clean color blocking gives it a really unique appearance.

Yeah.. the designers wanted to make it stylish, so they hid the engine in a shell in the back.

Actually, it was only after I finished this that I realized, "Dangit, people are going to think this is that stupid Batman guy's ship!"

Lol. Thanks for the comments guys!

Harley Quinn was The Jokers psychiatrist when he was in Arkham Asylum. She fell in love with him and then assisted him with escaping. Afterwards, she became his accomplice/girlfriend, Harley Quinn.
