How I spent most of my Saturday. I wanted to build a minifig-scale air/space fighter that was as small as possible while still looking "fly-able". The wings fold over the top for an even smaller profile. Gonna finish the cockpit and play around with different colors as soon as a couple Bricklink orders come in. Hopefully, I'll be using several of these little guys in a larger upcoming project. Hint: carrier.
I made this trailer/videoclip about the great Monster Fighters theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vU79IvrX1U
I'm sure you will appreciate the music.
I realize that it's been quite a long stint since I've made an appearance on Flickr and wanted to share with folks a bit about why. As many of you who follow me on Facebook know that my wife and I were expecting our first daughter in early April. So I was taking on a lot of projects around the house and with client work so I could spend the first few months with our little baby. Things didn't quite go as planned however and our vivacious little girl decided it was time to come into the world 4 weeks early! After a rather manic roller coaster ride complete with an emergency run to the hospital at midnight and a real scare for vitals of both mother and baby during birth, our precious little daughter was born. My wife Andria and I proudly announced our new addition to the family, Madison Brielle Hoover, or little "Maddy B".
On our final day in the hospital, Madison was found to have a heart murmur. After more thorough tests, it was diagnosed that she has 2 holes in her poor little heart. Though there is hope that the upper hole may potentially shrink or even close on its own, the lower VSD is the bigger concern that will likely require open heart surgery in the very near future as it is med-large in size. We will have to keep a close eye on her as she continues to develop.
As shown by her baby fist, we are confident that our little one has the strength to get through this and will keep everyone posted along the way. Obviously this has been quite the emotional couple of weeks for us and I'm not going to lie, it's taken quite a bit out of me creatively. I'm not quite sure yet when I'll be able to get back on the proverbial horse. But I'm confident that it will happen and if nothing else, I'll have more time to spend looking at all the great posts I missed while I was away.
About the shot, this was taken with my 85mm @ 1.4 and believe it or not, wasn't posed in the slightest. This little one loves to throw up the girl power fist randomly and I just happened to be taking photos of her when she did it this time. I definitely have a new photo obession and will throw in a few shots of the little one as she grows.
Simon asked me to build some CS for what I would later learn was his moonbase. This is the fighter I came up with. I took a page out of 4est's book and rebuilt one of my older MOCs in CS minifigure scale. Only spent about 4 hours on this.

These are the most current fighters in operation with the United Systems Marine Corps. Clockwise from top right they are the Axeblade, Sparrowhawk, Cutlass MkII and Discus Evo 2.
During the USMF's return to power as a major faction in the galactic stage, the need for newer and better ships became more and more apparent. The fallout of the Dimension Wars left numerous unexplored pockets of space in its wake and the need to quickly scout these area was of keen importance to the USMF.
Hyperius Industries, a company who had never partnered with the USMF before, found itself in need of clients after their previous big buyers, (the mysterious "Continuum"), were eradicated in the Dimension Wars. The AV-002 was the first of two major contributions to the USMF's evolving fleet.
The "Aquila" is a a long range scout/fighter craft. Though it has very little in the way of shielding, it makes up for it in raw speed. It's light frame only adds to its agility. This is the most heavily armed you'll see an "Aquila" class ship; four light laser cannons. Though options for additional armaments exist, the USMF prefers to leave the role of interceptors, attack ships, and heavy fighters to other crafts in the fleet. The Av-002 is also sold in the civilian market as well, where it enjoys a high degree of notoriety in professional space racing venues.
The Ligea Class fighter features more conventional aerodynamics, making it better suited for atmospheric engagements. This example is outfitted for scouting, with auxiliary thrusters to enhance airspeed, a radar bar for detecting enemy moment, and linked machine guns for close range dogfighting (WWGYRb)

Flown by hotshot pilot, Rick Sinclair, the "Tulipano" is a heavy fighter designed for interception and destruction.
Around two years ago I made a small microscale fighter out of tablescraps while beginning to sort my LEGO. Even though it was a fairly ordinary design I was quite fond of it so never took it apart, and after finishing my SHIPtember project was looking for something new to occupy me. So I decided to scale it up, and the result is what I am calling the Wolfhound - a near-atmosphere, crew-of-two fighter craft.
Initially I was going to a simple scale-up, keeping all the features of the original micro model the same. As I progressed I couldn't help tweaking some stuff, however; the most noticeable change being the length of the wings. The original wings ended up looking something like battering rams, more as a result of the parts I had available than anything. When it came to the minifig-scale model, I couldn't get a solution I was happy with, so I played around with some of the proportions and ended up with a Vic Viper-esque shape that I'm quite pleased with.
LEGO MOC of Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber in scale of 1:34
The Sukhoi Su-34 (Russian: Сухой Су-34; NATO reporting name: Fullback) is a Soviet-origin Russian twin-engine, twin-seat, all-weather supersonic medium-range fighter-bomber/strike aircraft. It first flew in 1990, intended for the Soviet Air Forces, and it entered service in 2014 with the Russian Air Force.
Today I was bored and I have started to play with colors and textures. I liked the pose of the model and decided to make a kind of cartel like the movies.

Hoy estaba aburrida, asi que me he puesto a enredar con el photoshop, los colores y las texturas. Me molaba la pose de la modelo y decidà hacer una especie de cartel de peli.

The latest in Chubdam technology, the Hub Fighter is a drone designed to breakdown and provide field technicians with vital resupply equipment in the field to enable maintenance of Chubdams outside of normal supply chains. The Hub Fighter consists of several important subsystems such as the power supply, thruster pack, chest armor, and sensor suite; all cleverly designed to function with limited flight capability when combined with each other and a pair of reusable drone wings.
This is not a new MOC sadly just a quick updated and revisit my old Fighter plane the FB12 FOXBAT FIGHTER Mark II. Found some old pictures and yet unpublished here.
Build way back in the late 2013 after I decided to upgraded the Foxbat Mark I which i thought could do better in term of design. Fold out gun cannon, landing gear, flap wing, hidden missiles below bay and LED light on the cockpit. One of the first MOC plane i did attempt to make with LED light!
This Foxbat was finally upgraded in2014. Another MOC version of it? Mark III? Maybe ;) Let me know what do you think?
FUN FACTS: Oh I did uploaded this Foxbat MOC in LEGOIdeas but couldn’t even make it to a thousand but i got a lot of good feedbacks and i do appreciated it. My MOC is one of kind.

DESCRIPTION
The main role of the Starwolf Tactical Fighter is 'First Attack Wave Suppression (FAWS)'. An attacking force will typically launch multiple fighters to engage the capital ships offensive and defensive weapon systems. Starwolves are launched to prevent this 'first wave' of attacking fighters to reach the capital ships by greatly reducing their numbers before coming into in range. The remaining enemy fighters are more easily handled by the capital ships defense network.
As a secondary, attack role, the Starwolf can use it's Hedgehog system to overwhelm the shields of enemy capital class ships with a single burst of 16 missiles with a synchronized impact on a specific point. Only when friendly capital ships have trouble engaging enemy capital ships will Starwolves be deployed for this role. The problem with this tactic is that Starwolves will need to be heavily supported by fighters when attacking enemy ships head on.
Starwolves have atmospheric flight capabilities, however this uses considerably more fuel than spaceflight. A Starwolf is incapable of landing on a planet surface.
STANDARD OFFENSIVE WEAPON SYSTEMS LOADOUT
Two 'Muger MK7' 20 mm caliber chain guns
The guns fire a mix of armor piercing incendiary tracers and high explosive rounds at a rate of 2400 rounds per minute with a spool-up time of 0.5 seconds.
Two 'Kurstroski-S30' 30 mm caliber cannons
The cannons fire High Explosive Dual Purpose rounds at a rate of 350 rounds per minute.
Four 'Spagin HE5' High Explosive Missiles
Standard multi purpose fire-and-forget missiles with proximity detection systems.
HAAM16 'Hedgehog' Multimissile System
Multiple 'SPIKE' missiles fired simultaneously at up to 16 targets. The missiles are guided by the Hedgehog radar system. The high maneuverability of the missiles makes them capable of evading most countermeasures while guided by the Hedgehog. The system can also be used to overwhelm the shields of capital-class vessels.
DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS
Electronic warfare pod
The pod integrated in the lower wing is outfitted with many types of electronic warfare capabilities that include field jamming (producing a stealth bubble around the ship), ghosting (projecting false data) and tactical hacking (taking control of enemy ship systems, as well as some reconnaissance abilities.
Starburst
The starburst system ejects multiple decoys in different directions to confuse enemy guided weapon systems.

NOTES
This was originally planned as a more standard shaped fighter. But once I started work on the engines the ship grew more in width than it did in length. Also, the placeholder dual wings looked kind of cool, so I build on that. The problem was getting it to be stable enough to be handled, and sturdy enough to hold up the cockpit section. I had a blast building it because it turned out so different than I had initially planned. Please check out the other views in the Starwolf set as they explain more than I can tell you (especially the front view).
I recently received my first Brickforge order! Naturally, the first thing I did was build a steampunk tie fighter out of a gladiator visor and two shields :)
For me, boxing is a reflection on how we handle ourselves in everyday life. A fighter can only advance by scoring points if he has faith in himself. At any point when a boxer attacks he leaves himself open to a counter-attack. He can stand with a rock solid defense and be safe or he can attack and risk an opening for a counter attack.
As in the ring, we must have faith, take a risk, trust our training/instinct and believe in ourselves.
