Orange Space Sweeper

I built this as a reason for a gun that didn't even make it into the MOC. I also wanted to use the Bionicle Kraata can as a cockpit.

The ship started out more horizontal, with the cockpit long-axis-horizontal on the right, and the missile pod on the left. There was also a large gun array, and a huge bomb that could be attached to the outside of the missile pack. I wanted it to be modular, like a Huey gunship. However, parts conspired against me, and it gradually got smaller and more off-balance until it got stood on its side. There was no going back after that.

I condensed the missile pack, moved the gun, centered the engines, and rebuilt the cockpit. I like it how it is now, even though it has so much SNOT that it really needs a hazmat suit to handle.

 

Plus, I just wanted to do something with the shoulder pieces.
