IH-64 Tomahawk

[gaunt]

Hello all,

I've been a building coma for the past day or so, and I whipped this little guy up during that time:

It can fit a fig:

This has yet to be part of a faction, but it soon will be.


Comments/ criticisms are more than welcome.

Oh god that is an adorable attack aircraft!

[gaunt]

Thanks eagle! It's not exactly big and menacing, seeing as it started out as a compact fighter design. I guess adorability is a good trick on the battlefield, in some respects.

[IVhorseman]

Yeah ultimately it'd have low health, but that's a great design! I'm suprised anyone fits in there, but man that's cool that they do!

[gaunt]

^ Well, it'll look nice as battlefield debris. It was mostly me proving to myself that I could make a small vehicle that wasn't boxy.

And IV it's been a while man, what's good? (I used to be on here occasionally but I left for a while)

[IVhorseman]

Well I broke my legs a while ago, but i'll be walking in about a month.

I'm away from my main collection, but in the meantime I've been brikwarring on my kitchen table with about 12 figs and my roommate.

[gaunt]

Ah man, so sorry to hear about that. But glad to hear you're healing up.

Yeah, being away from your main collection is restricting, but sometimes having just a few figs can give you some inspiration, IMO.

This is a neat little chopper, I imagine it's small size and speed would make it very hard to hit, making its low armor less of an issue. Good work fitting a pilot inside!

[IVhorseman]

Well as opposed to having strict factions, i've got a whole game of brikwars to fit in a small plastic bag, using the little bits of crap lying around my apartment as cover. Works great!

Thanks a bunch! I suppose it's pretty fast, and therefore would be a difficult target.


And IV, sometimes childish primitivity is the best.

[RunsWithLegos]

freaking sweet craft you got there!
welcome back mate

Nice helicopter! I wasn't expecting it to actually hold a fig. I think the advantage of it being so small is that it's easier to make more of. Imagine a swarm of them attacking something

[Silverdream]

Very nice. I may have to upgrade my AA.

Yeah, this helicopter is simply beautiful! Well built.

Perhaps there is room to add some rockets or missiles in addition to the guns?

Thanks a lot! As for the missiles, I was toying with some missile rack ideas, but none of them seemed to fit. And I can't imagine such a small vehicle being able to carry a huge loadout, but I'll see if I can modify this little guy.
