The Eagle: VTOL Helicopter

by TWP.

I present The Eagle, a Vertical Take-off and Landing Twin rotor Helicopter.

A space/atmosphere craft. Kind of a mix between Star Wars and military. I was inspired by a VTOL craft in my brother's call of duty game. I wanted to try out some technic in a build, while also having a decent interior. And it was also a nice exercise to try out some greebling.

From the central knob you can make the propellors rotate. On the bottom there's a switch to change from landing mode into flying mode. Next to this, there is some knobs to make the cannons in the front rotate, and to make the turrets in the back turn.

In addition to the functions, there's space in the cockpit for 4 minifigs, and in the back there is space for 6 soldiers. All this had to fit with a lot of stud inversal on the bottom, and I'm quite happy that it all fits.

Finished this MOC about 1 year ago, but haven't had a lot of time to make pictures and to edit them. I had been working on this a while, on and off in weekends while I was not in my dorm room, but back at my parents place, where my collection is.
