Hmm, after all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end, I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger
Well I, I thought I knew you
Thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up, 'cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mm-hmm
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh-uh, oh no, yeah, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable
I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
I never saw it coming
All of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I realized your game
I heard you're goin' 'round playin' the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies
Guess you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore
No more, uh-uh, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Small tandem fighter featuring many guns.
Had to change this around from the original intended build cause of being fucked over on bricklink (not PBD) and edited without a working keyboard so I hope you guys still like it. This thing is actually really cool. I'll try to post more images of other angles and perhaps build this one on LDD as I think I'm going to keep this as my new desk model.
The pilot's face is clearly visible in this shot. Also, just visible through the blue tinted front screen is the circular reflector gunsight. This was, arguably, the most (only?) technically advanced piece of equipment in the aircraft. The gunsight was calibrated or 'harmonised' to show the pilots where his bullets would hit, and took account of the effect of gravity on the bullets (which start to drop as soon as they leave the guns), and the distance the target aircraft would have travelled before the bullets reach it. The pilot had to dial in the estimated distance of the target, and an illuminated circle was projected from a small lamp-holder and lens assembly up onto the circular reflector visible in the picture. The idea was to get the target in the circle - easier said than done. Without an effective targeting system, fighter aircraft were pretty much useless, so this small item of equipment, more than anything, was the very heart of the Spitfire. Spitfire cockpits had a small rack on the right-hand side containing 3 spare bulbs for the gunsight, should one fail in use. I seem to recall being told that the gunsights were 'top secret' and that pilots of downed aircraft were to destroy them to prevent them falling into enemy hands, but looking at some illustrations of the gunsights, they have 'patent' numbers clearly marked on them, so evidently full details were published - so not secret at all!
Despite what we see in movies, Spitfires carried about enough ammunition for only 20 seconds of continuous firing of their guns.

This is something I've wanted to build for a very long time, and is based off of the amazing art of @jakeparker - Not only is his Art fantastic, but Mr. Parker actually started #inktober - which I think was actually what prompted our copycat LEGO build Theme months that we have ever year... So thank you mr. Parker, for not just an inspiring piece of work, but inspiring years of theme-months build challenges!
I actually forgot to post this, but originally this was for:
Day 6 and the last build for @rebellug 24 hour LEGO bud challenge Vignweek - today's theme was combine two LEGO themes: in this case, LEGO Starwars and Ninjago. I deviated a bit from the original art work adding in a bit more Samurai armour to better fit the Ninjago theme. As much fun as it would have been to have uber greebly arms...
Thank you everyone for the support during this ummm... interesting week - thank you especially to QuestBuddies, all the people on discord, of course RebelLUG and judges. it's been a hella of a week.

Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!
Using the same exact scene that I uploaded like two days ago but... eh, what the hell. The WW2 builders do it all the time.
And I liked this photo, so, yeah.
THE GRUMMAN MARTLET SINGLE-SEAT FIGHTER
The Martlet is another of those tubby little American fighters which look like flying barrels. In general appearance, it is not unlike the Buffalo, though its square-cut wing-tips and more tapered fuselage should prevent confusion between the two types.
Like the Buffalo, the Martlet is in service with the Fleet Air Arm. Very little has been said yet about the Martlet's work, but it is safe to say that some of our newer aircraft carriers have Martlets aboard.
This aircraft should give a very good account of itself over the sea because it has the three things essential to an F.A.A. fighter: speed, manoeuvrability, and range. Its maximum range is 1,150 miles, which would enable it to be used as a fast scouting plane as well as for immediate protection of the Fleet or of convoys.
An unusual feature in the Martlet is the provision of two small windows under the pilot's feet, to enable him to have more than the normal look-out below.
It is known that the Martlet has already had encounters with
the Luftwaffe and has acquitted itself very well.

The Grumman Wildcat and the Grumman Martlet are essentially the same aircraft - the Martlet being the RAF variant. This IWM variant started life in the USA in 1945 before moving to IWM in 1993
We've been catching up on The Mandalorian this festive season - there are some fun bits and Mando himself is a charming presence, but overall it's just felt uninterestingly competent. Probably just doesn't hit the bits of Star Wars I really like. Still, it's gotten me back in the mood for some far, far away MOCs, so here's a bandit fighter I whipped together.
Here I see the biggest problem with bluerender: It can't handle transparent objects.
In LDD, the canopy is of the "transparent" colour, so the least coloured one. Here it's black and completely reflective. I don't know if bluerender even allows for transparent surfaces, or maybe it's an error with LDD's colours.

Wow, it's already number 81. Time is moving FAST. I'm glad to have started blogging and I don't regret it at all. It's a lot more of work then I even thought it would be and it's hard to find my style or to deliver something that would please both creators and readers. I can only hope that my blog bugs will be fixed soon, so I can TRULY start doing more stuff on it, things that I've been planning for MONTHS. Thanks everyone for your feedbacks and comments. I'll have to leave in July and August for my excavation sites, so I'm gonna try to blog as many items as I can before I leave.
I decided to make my own versions of the Flickr fighters along with my updated fighter. Crow, Creationist, Enoshima, Me, Wavelength, Goldenfeather, Matchstick, Multi Sharp
The "Dragonfly" is a fighter-bomber based on the "Lancer" archetype suggested on "The Rocketpunk Manifesto." Designed to attack SHIPS, the dragonfly features powerful engines to accelerate to great speeds on its attack vector. Like a dive bomber, the Dragonfly aims to release its payload as closely and accurately to its target as possible before making a last-minute maneuver to veer off. Instead of a traditional munition, however, it bears a rod of high-density metal with enough of a basic rocket engine to separate from the fighter and provide minor course corrections.
The mass torpedo is a rod of high density metal with a simple rocket system which has been scored to break up on impact, this allows it to impart as much force upon its target as possible- a concept similar to hollow-point bullets. The mass torpedo is also resistant to point defense, as a hit will usually break it into a number of high velocity projectiles rather than deflecting away. (And, most notably, it cannot be detonated prematurely like a traditional munition.) Although torpedos are typically made of tungsten, there have been reports of specimens with magnesium oxide, and even radioactive material layers having been deployed against habitats.
The Dragonfly comes equipped with an adequate pair of conventional cannons to spar with other fighters, as well as a hybrid gyroscope and adjustable rocket maneuvering system capable of pointing them in the needed direction quickly. The fixed nature of its armaments and its typical mission parameters put it at a disadvantage against purpose built interceptors and point defense ships. The Dragonfly is best deployed with additional craft to support it.

Equipped with a wide laser beam, SPECTREs are efficient at scorching large area and taking down bigger targets. They are often seen rolling, creating hard to avoid laser spirals, increasing their chance at hitting nimble aircrafts.
A lot of fun making this one. two seats for figures inside.
The picture does not convey the 3 light bricks in the front unfortunately. they are activated in the back via a cross axe.
it has been on my desk for more than a year... haha
hope you enjoy!

My fighter squad entry into the Assemble the Fleet contest.
I decided to stick to the classic fighters that everyone knows and loves: the X-Wing and the Y-Wing. I tried to keep them as small as possible while keeping the main details, I think I did an alright job.
I set myself the challenge of making a completely brick built tri-fighter. There are parts that exist that can be used to provide some extra details, but I like the challenge of replicating the effect in bricks.
I’ve always had a soft spot for this model- I was always quite impressed with the 2005 version that used the click hinges to create the semi-circular ‘wings’ which seemed quite unconventional back then. LEGO traditionally includes a buzz droid minifig with their version, so in that spirit, I asked MisterShramp if he could design a buzz droid to accompany my design. And he really stepped up to the challenge!
I originally thought about using bionicle shoulder armour parts to create the central sphere, but I settled on this design after experimenting with a number of other spherical parts.
The next challenge was to find suitable parts to recreate the semi-circular wings. I went through a number of different ideas- but many of the parts I could find didn’t have the right radius to match the original design. In the end I used bricks with studs on 4 sides with a rigid hose through the middle. The curved tiles help maintain the shape.
After tackling those two challenges, all the other details were pretty intuitive, and the build is surprisingly sturdy too.
The colour scheme also went through a few revisions. Each illustration/ concept art/ scale model I could find had some variation of blue and grey. In the end I went for this pretty subtle pattern. Any thing busier tended to draw attention to the (unavoidable) gaps in the construction of the semi-circles.
Check out MisterShramp's flickr
and instagram if you haven't already- he's got a bunch of really interesting ideas and instructions for his builds too!
The TENGU is a modified CORBEAU equipped with a long range railgun instead of a dual laser cannon. IT is built around a circular energy reactor allowing for extreme range, speed, shield and weapon generation. The TENGU carries a set of 4 EMP missiles to incapacitate targets, making targeting of weak point easier with its railgun.
Number 6 and last of this jetfighter run. my favorite color wise. I really enjoyed building these. :)
