Using tans neon green antenna whips for legs and placing the cockpit in the “hump” of the mosquito, the last of the Myg-series was the most mosquito-like of them all. The other one is fairly simple hypotech, but with interesting use of those 6×6 octagonal frames. Check ‘em out:

Although this moc is old, I still very much like it because the geometry turned out very well, so check it out:

Thanks to LDView, I also got around to post some decent pictures of my old Space P38-contest entry:

You might’ve noticed that I didn’t posted anything last week: I’m really busy with work until after Christmas, so I’m not sure how much time I’ll be able to invest in the page until then…

Here’s the last microscale fighter in the series. I really like the poseability you can achieve by combining the classic trans-clear SW-shooter satnd with a 1×1 bracket:

Almost too weak for stuff this size though :(

Uploaded a microscale fighter inspired by my latest Z-Fighters. While adjusting the lighting in levels, I discovered that you can actually save the settings and use them for more pictures:

It’s still a little cumbersome, as you have to open the file for every picture (Load…), but at least the lighting on the pictures will be more consistent - especially if you adjust the midpoint as well, instead of just squeezing the brightest and darkest tones together (which was the case with this moc.

If anybody know a good way to batch-adjust a bunch of pictures, I’d love to know (especially if you can add a watermark in the same process).

For a long time, I’ve been using MLCad to design specific details on mocs I’ve been building, but since December, I’ve begun designing complete craft directly in the program.
So far I’ve only found two of these designs worth rendering in lego (this and the black fighter crashtested a while back).

But I can definitly recommend this approach: firstly because designing is much faster in MLCad (or on paper), so generally you’ll have many more designs to choose among, once you’ve finally got the time to pick up the bricks, and secondly, you’re sure it’ll actually work, unlike the ‘vague idea that might look good’ that is the usual starting point when we design directly in lego:

Concept art mocs almost always pwns anything we can design directly in lego, but more about that later, when I’ve finished my colourscheme-investigation
