Introducing the Iommian 7th iteration i-Fighter, codename: SPiNNER.
Features a control pod that rotates on the z-axis to keep the pilot stable while the fighter rolls or spins (pointless in space but it looks cool). The propulsion ring features almost 320 degrees of directional vectoring for extreme maneuverablity. Fighter operations controlled by two blue touch screens. Droid socket fits standard R2 unit (pictured here with R2-P3). Armaments include: 2 proton torpedo launchers (4 torpedoes each) and 4 laser cannons. The i-Fighter is not equipped with any kind of landing-gear, instead it relies on its repulsorlift generator to keep it hovering above the landing surface.
Built for the 2011 FBTB Alphabet Fighter Contest.
The Koemi is the modern light fighter deployed by the Asian Coalition. The ship is a solid hunk of circuits and weaponry; no airs and graces of aerodynamics or aesthetic design. A nimble pugilist, often found crammed efficiently into carrier craft. The ship was made after the disastrous fighter losses during the war.

______________
Its time to change as we assess ourselves
And dont be blind by the material wealth
Free the Spirit cause it might discard
Through the eye of a needle
And your way is barred
To another level but 1 step higher
me myself and I just try to inspire
Those who have and those that wait
You could have my hand well if i was a saint
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
They once built a wall A man made solution
Many Feet high a barbed wire intrusion
On humanity and its family ties
no matter how faint you could hear the cries
droplets of tears have over the years
Been wrote to the wall
And now it disappears before me
means its pieces apart
when the people come together they make things start
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
Let ya Sunflowers away from the rain
deprived of water yet they maintain
that its neccessary to stick around in space
when they wont even feed the human race
They rape my land now theres nothing left
a child in my womb and no milk from my breast
Im the worlds problem but wheres the solution
if youve you made enough profit now take your pollution
with you
Please
Love can help
We can help it
Love can help
We can help it
The words have more power than the gun
by the freedom of speech its still denied to some
Channing square was a cry of hope
politicians did nothing not even a life rope
never let your dreams disappear
because the future of words can cause such fear
its set by many or even if you remember
we have the power to change things too

I'm coming at you again, Europe! Hamburg, Koln, Frankfurt, Dornbirn, Zurich, Munich, Berlin and Warsaw! Looking forward to seeing some more crazy action like this and meeting some awesome folks!
LEGO math is the best. When I was a kid I never thought much about how the plates with hooks and the bars and other parts were actually engineered. It never occurred to me that they were specifically designed to work in multiple orientations, thanks to the original dimensions of the 1x1 brick.
It's pretty cool once you see it. This cockpit is cramped, but much more detailed than previous cramped cockpits.

So sometimes when your about to take something apart.- you stop and make some, er, modifications instead. Original fighter here. www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/16326312666/in/photost...
The XF-85 Goblin, a.k.a. "Parasite Fighter," was like the Chuck Norris of aircraft—compact yet fierce. Built to launch from a B-36 bomber, it packed a punch with its six .50-caliber machine guns. Imagine a pocket-sized avenger, defending the skies with a style that was small but mighty.
Despite its ambitious design, this airborne munchkin faced challenges, earning it the title of a historic failure. Turns out, even the mightiest hobbits can stumble in the realm of aviation.

AKA The Foo Fighters.
No wonder Kurt blew his brains out if he had to hang out with Dave Grohl. If I had to hang out with such a retard I would probably do the same....
Funny how on their revamped website their causes page no longer carries a link to the HIV denialist group alive and well (AKA Dead and Buried)
However there is still online a version of their old causes page here:
www.foofighters.com/community_cause.html
So not so easy to erase this public display of continued denialism...
As for the rest the following article makes for interesting reading (it may be old but The Truth Fighters are still continuing to support Maggiore, and much more on her later...):
Foo Fighters, HIV Deniers

Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl wants you to forget what you think you know about AIDS.
News: A platinum-selling alt-rock group may be endangering their fans by promoting a dangerous myth.
By Silja J.A. Talvi
February 25, 2000
Some rock stars want to free Tibet. Others want to save Mumia. The Foo Fighters, on the other hand, want their fans to ignore accepted medical wisdom about AIDS.
The multimillion-album-selling alternative rock outfit has thrown its weight behind Alive and Well, an "alternative AIDS information group" that denies any link between HIV and AIDS. In January, Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel helped organize a sold-out concert in Hollywood to benefit the group. Foo fans were treated to a speech by Alive and Well founder Christine Maggiore, who believes AIDS may be caused by HIV-related medications, anal sex, stress, and drug use, and implies that people should not get tested for HIV nor take medications to counter the virus. Free copies of Maggiore's self-published book, "What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?," in which she declares "there is no proof that HIV causes AIDS," were also passed out to the concert-goers.
HIV experts are alarmed by the possible impact of the Foo Fighters' embrace of Maggiore's theories on their potentially gullible young fans.
"Clearly, more research is needed on the factors that contribute to HIV infection and the development of AIDS," says Dorcus Crumbley of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention. "However, the conclusions of more than two decades of epidemiologic, virologic, and medical research are that HIV infection is transmissible through sexual contact, injecting drug use, perinatally, and from receiving blood or blood products ... (and) the scientific evidence is overwhelming that HIV is the cause of AIDS."
Adds Crumbley: "The myth that HIV is not the primary cause of AIDS ... could cause (HIV-positive people) to reject treatment critical for their own health and for preventing transmission to others."
"When it comes to such a complex health topic, it behooves the band to have really researched what they are endorsing," says Diane Tanaka, an attending physician at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where she works with a large population of high-risk and HIV-infected low-income youth. "(The Foo Fighters) have a big responsibility in terms of (their) public role and the impact that they can have on young people. Is this band willing to take responsibility for a young person engaging in risky, unprotected sex because of information they've gotten from the (Foo Fighters) or from Alive and Well?"
Alive and Well is one of several fringe groups that deny a link between HIV and AIDS. Similar theories have been put forth over the years by various far-right groups and anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists, and other so-called "HIV-refuseniks."
"Your risk of being hit by lightning is greater than that of contracting HIV through a one-time random sexual contact with someone you don't know here in America," says Maggiore, an HIV-positive Southern California resident with no formal training in medicine or the sciences. "And if (a young person) were to get a positive diagnosis, that does not mean they've been infected with HIV." The HIV-AIDS connection, maintains Maggiore, has been promoted by greedy drug companies.
Mendel says he was won over by Maggiore's book, and passed it around to the rest of the band, which includes former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Mendel says that he would steer anyone considering an HIV antibody test toward Maggiore's group.
"If you test positive, you are pretty much given a bleak outlook and told to take toxic drugs to possibly ward off new infections," says Mendel.
With the other band members on board, Mendel aims to use the Foo Fighters' celebrity to get the message out to a broad audience. The Foo Fighters plan additional benefit shows, and have placed a banner ad on their Web site linking to Alive and Well. Mendel says that he does not have HIV, nor does he have any friends with HIV besides Maggiore, who has remained asymptomatic.
The most recent numbers from the Joint United Nations' HIV/AIDS Program estimate that 16.3 million people worldwide have died of AIDS-related causes since 1981. Medical research in the United States indicates that as many as 25 percent of the nation's estimated 40,000 annual HIV infections occur among 13- to 21-year-olds. Maggiore, however, maintains that worldwide HIV infections and AIDS deaths are exaggerated by the CDC and the World Health Organization, even in regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where two-thirds of the world's HIV-infected people live.
Maggiore's message has apparently penetrated the minds of at least some Foo aficionados. She says she has heard from many Foo fans since the show -- one of whom, she says, now works at the Alive and Well office.
"AIDS is a toxic disease caused by either long-term recreational drug abuse or short-term anti-HIV medications," writes a 22-year-old member of the Alive and Well-affiliated Students Reappraising AIDS on the Foo Fighters' Web-based message board. "HIV is not spread sexually, nor is it the cause of any disease."
Other fans are less impressed. Damian Purdy, a 21-year-old Winnipeg, Canada resident and devoted Foo Fighters fan, is outraged by the band's position. "By supporting this, the Foo Fighters have entered an arena that they have no business being in. The truth is that a rock concert is not the appropriate platform for these views to be expressed. I think the Foo Fighters have more influence than they realize," he says.
For his part, Mendel remains convinced that the media and the medical establishment are keeping the truth about HIV and AIDS from the public. The Foo Fighters, he insists, will continue to use their celebrity to bring "light to the issue."
Is he worried that the group might be endangering the lives of some of its listeners?
"I'm absolutely confident that I'm doing the right thing," Mendel answers. "No, I wouldn't feel responsible for possibly harming somebody. I (feel) I'm doing the opposite."
I came up with this tie-fighter technique which only uses 2 pieces, along with a small base for it. All in all, the entire MOC only uses 20 pieces. Hope you like it!
To God be the glory!

-580 EX II coming from the left and the right at 1/64 power at 14mm zoom setting. Gelled green at about (-115) tint. Did this to make the light coming from the CameraBright!™ X1-ER (http://www.camerabright.com/product.htm) a pink/magenta color.
Lightpainting procedure:
- Had Laura pose with a punch. When the strobes popped (first curtain sync), I had Laura pull back into the arc you see now.
Lightroom 2.0:
- Temp upped to 6k, tint corrected to +115
- Blacks up to 15 to clip the background
- Decreased yellow, orange and red saturations by -10
- Noise Reduction 25%
- Darkened an area below the index finger to remove the camerabright
Photoshop CS3:
- Cloned the light trail to hide the camerabright
- Changed the iris to a magenta color
- Increased the contrast of the hands by adjusting levels

Regrets: I think I could have used snoots for a better effect, but adjusting the blacks was not a huge deal anyways...
