Part of the shoot from last night. I couldn't get the tv wave lines quiet right but it's a work in progress. Very inspired by the band/album GUNSHIP.
The Gurdergen tend to avoid battles, getting others to do their work for them. This sturdy gunship, designed for convoy protection and ground attack, is an exception to that rule. Although not the most nimble, it is tough and packs a punch, giving the aquatic-merchant people some bite when they need it.
This little build grew out of the desire to try out SuperHardcoreDave's cool missile nose cone design.
It ended up being fairly realistic, which is unusual for me. It even has a NOTAR system and landing gear.
Hell hath no fury like an Apache gunship going through its paces at Farnborough International Airshow 2016.
July 2016
Built this hangar in collaboration with Jetbricks, which was a lot of fun, I documented it in a build log on YouTube.
Gunship instructions available for purchase on RebelLUG.com.
Happy building!
Mil Mi-24 Superhind Mk5 "Krokodil" Heavy Helicopter Gunship (Krokodil = Crocodile, Russian)
--------------------
An even more massive and destructive beast than the previous variant. A beast of a helicopter, it is equipped with engines twice as powerful as it's predecessor, enormous turboshaft engines used to turn the two contra-rotational rotors, and two more on the sides are used as backup, more power, and speed making this newer variant good even when fully loaded with people and munitions. Their exhaust is also used for the NOTAR system built into this huge bird.
It is equipped with new equipment ranging from imaging and sensors to radar and weapons. A new camera system is attached to the nose for more accurate gunning, along with eye tracking equipment so that the user can aim simply by pointing their eyes. The new, durable, gatling cannon is now equipped with more than four times the ammunition than it's predecessor.
It can still transport 10 people, not including the pilots, but it can do so at a speed more than two times faster than the previous variant due to it's new engines. It is now considered one of the fastest transport helicopters in the world, setting aside the fact that it can both transport and gunship at the same time.
It isn't that much of a stealthy helicopter, however, but it does feature a slightly reduced RCS. It features two wings with 4 pylons each, and 2 pylons on the bottom of the body. It's wings can give the helo around 15% of it's lift. The outermost pylons can only be equipped with air-to-air missiles, and it's underbody pylons only with either remote controlled autocannons or free-fall bombs. The 6 free pylons underneath the wings can be outfitted with rocket pods, guided missiles, autocannons, bombs, air-to-air missiles, sensor equipment, and more.
It is able to deliver long range missile strikes if a friendly unit in the area guides it (infantrymen can use their on-chest computers.)
As a latest addition, they are equipped with a powerful anti-missile laser equipped in the nose along with imaging suite and a detachable TLS built under the cockpit area aside from other weapon systems.

Kamov Ka-30 "Shark" Mk2 Medium Stealth Helo Gunship (Shark = Akula)
--------------------
Kamov's newest 6th generation helicopter design. A competitor to Mil Industries prototype 6th generation medium gunship.
Designed in 2025 and fielded in 2027, the Kamov Ka-30 is a medium stealth gunship employing a coaxial rotor system. It has a reduced RCS, invisibility illusion generators, infrared trace reducers, radar absorbent covering and stealthy engine exhaust ports.
It has a crew of two. It employs a single laser rotary autocannon and high energy TLS system under the nose controlled by the gunner. It also includes twin side mounted adjustable laser AP autocannons utilized by the pilots, and an internal slide out missiles bay loaded with unguided and guided missiles, and air-to-air missiles. It has a single hardpoint on each stub wing able to carry only a single devastating ShBM imported from the Turkish.
It is quite fast and is surprisingly maneuverable for a coaxial helicopter. It has a backup NOTAR system, which utilizes engine exhaust from the two side mounted TDDSAS-7 high powered stealth engines. It can fly near Mach 0.2 at full weapons load.
On it's sides are two missiles countermeasures suites, which fire a laser to destroy incoming hostile missiles. It is similar to the one used on UT tanks.
This helicopter now includes a new imaging and sensor system, making the gunner's and pilot's job much easier. The main rotary cannon, located under the nose, is pointed towards wherever the gunner is looking, greatly increasing this new series' efficiency.
It's new sensors and equipment allow it to mesh into the intel network, which is a system that creates a virtual map with feed from the frontlines, recon units, etc. It allows HUD-equipped units to view a minimap of the area with identified enemies on it. Each unit with a camera, including infantry equipped with the Enforcer suit, contributes to this intel network. This way, every unit in the military is essentially a recon unit. The helo is a powerful one, surveying a large area and identifying any visible enemies..
It is able to deliver long range missile strikes if a friendly unit in the area guides it (infantrymen can use their on-chest computers.)

If you like my creation.. you can find it on the lego ideas. Support very welcome;)
Posed dynamically on the display stand. I got those large figure guns to use as engine greebles. but they proved to be too large, protruding beyond the leading edge of the wings. So they became part of the display stand instead.

Say what you like about AotC but some of the vehicle design was amazing.
I've wanted to make the LAATi for a while, I was invited to give a talk to the LondonAFOLs LUG and it gave me an excuse to built it and give a talk about how I put it together.
based on some concept art and the thing from the movies. Should be pretty cool. Very similar to the Elysium helicopter in terms of its rounded construction and heavy snot interior.
The Nimrud Gunship, named for the great hunter, serves the Aku Partnership as a fast attack and perimeter security helicopter. Coaxial rotors leave room in the aft for a push rotor, greatly increasing airspeed for lighting fast CAS. Equipped with modular weapon systems affixed to the winglets as well as an integral rotary cannon at the front, the Nimrud has few rivals.
HUGE shoutout to Tobias and Everette for helping me finish this, and take some amazing photos. Video of the rotor mechanism in action coming soon!
The spaceship was created because I wanted to create something beautiful. The project was born from love to sci - fi. This is my first MOC after the DA.
You can find it on the lego ideas. Support very welcome.
This was born from a fun game of telephone starting with a simple stud.io file which was passed on every 48 hours. Each builder could add as much as they’d like (within reason) before shifting the file to the next builder! Seeing how everyone’s distinct style was incorporated and transitions were negotiated was such a joy!
Shoutout to George for getting this started, and to Leo, Laurenz, Erik, Mike, and Hazel for all they added!
Raingun Gunship thingy
Detail montage coming tomorrow or sth.
Fun Fact: This photo is barely edited, I just desaturated the background and added the typography. But the process of photography was annoying af.
