Switch Swiper - VV2018
Because my VicVipers always have to have a gimmick, I decided to try building one with variable swept wings this year. Like the 2017 model, it was based on sketching out various ideas, one of which was to have it be a "Sometimes Vic". It only strictly meets the criteria with the wings deployed.
The gearing situation was fun to mess with. You twist the engine to move the wings. There is an unfortunate amount of slop when doing so, however. Maybe some of you Technic buffs have pointers?
All in all, a highly enjoyable build and very swooshable.
