i like planes just my ones are not one colour

Holy s#*!!

Thanks everybody! Unfortunately, the C-3 X, the aircraft that they have been designed for, won´t be continued. For further information on this abandoned, huge project, please check out the following old WIP: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/105012 Thanks, Steffen

Very cool design. Nice work!

Looks like it's going to be good. Can't wait.

WOW... If that's the size of the engines, then I really can't imagine how big the plane is going to be. And I thought the Lego City planes were big! I look foreward to the result!

Plane nerds unite! :P

THE C-3 or C-1?

That must be... minifig scale? Slightly bigger?

Hey John, thanks! You can see them tied up to the wings already if you check out the WIP!

I like the engines... but I prefer when they're tied up to planes. ;-)

Very nice Steffan, I finally found the engine you've been speaking of, That is an excellent piece of engineering, I sure hope that you're working on the part the engine goes to, ( THE AIRPLANE ) just looking at the engine makes me think the wings and fuselage have a lot to live up to! Til' next time, Matt L.

Hey Jesse, yeah I know I´m slow in creating&posting... It´s mainly due to a huge thesis I have to write ' til June 15th. Afterwards, I'll have more time to build. No mass production of the entire plane, though - I don´t own nearly enough pieces for that. There will be one final product (I only pretend to mass-produce:):):)) Against my comment that I only wanted to post the final thing, I was thinking of posting a WIP here soon - to keep in touch with everybody, show that I´m still there and that I continued building... I love how what I have so far created looks - it´s so massive and beast-like... I´ll post some WIP pics soon I promise. Steffen

Hello bro. :) you can add a playlist to your page if you add a youtube video with it in the same page... it's that simple... and here's the Msg. that my friend Andrew sent me about music on mocpage: "Hey man! When you get the embed code from projectplaylist.com, paste it into the add a creation edit box along with the image codes. Then in the same box, drop in any youtube video, and it turns out that if the player is accompanied with a youtube video mocpages will accept it. Then to make the youtube video disapear put: <!--"the embed code for the youtube video"--> and the youtube video will disaspear from the page, but the music player will still be there. Let me know if this works for you man! :) " ... Thanks for your nice comment btw :) >>> peace.. Fofo

Hi Olli, ich habe darüber nachgedacht, vielleicht ins Heck meines Jets eine MG-Stellung einzubauen - irgendwo oben unter dem Leitwerk. Die militärische Variante der Ilyushin-76 beinhaltete eine solche MG, sowie einige weitere Abwehrmechanismen (Flares, Radarstörer etc.). Ich muss aber erstmal sehen wieviel ich unterkriegen kann. Ich bin derzeit am Überlegen, ob ich den Frachtraum vielleicht doch noch weiter absenken soll, was mit einer Verbreiterung des Hauptfahrwerks und dem eventuellen Abschied vom mittleren Hauptfahrwerk einhergehen würde ... Hmmm Weil diesmal soll ein kompletter Sattelschlepper reinpassen. So mancher Truck ist aber ganz schön hoch:) Na ja mal sehen... Werde erstmal frühstücken, was für die Magisterarbeit machen und dann gegen Mittag spätestens weiterbauen... ich brauche immer ewig für meine Modelle - a) wegen dem Suchen nach Teilen und b) weil ich mich schwer entscheiden kann und immer wieder ummodelliere; was andres hier und da ausprobiere. Deswegen dauert es immer ne halbe Ewigkeit bis ich wieder was größeres poste:)... Grüße aus Neu-Isenburg, Steffen

Hi Steffen, du hattest ja dein neues Flugzeug-Projekt erwähnt. Die Triebwerke geben ne gute Vorstellung von der Größe. Basiert das Modell auf einer realen Maschine? Ich freu mich jedenfalls, es bald zu sehen. PS: Bau MG-Türme ein, ich stelle gerade einen Abfangjäger fertig ;-)

Hey Dave, thanks for the great comment and suggestion! Grey pylons indeed do sound good. I slightly altered them, though, using the rounded pieces (the original Lego jetliner pylons / from the white and blue 4-engines aircraft) instead of slopes cause it creates more of a sleek look... Unfortunately, I don´t own these rounded pieces in grey... To the aircraft in general: Its fuselage currently is ca. 114 studs long and might get prolonged to about 120 studs (because of the tail construction yet to be finally designed and a potential slight lengthening of the cargo hold); the wingspan measures 124 studs... Nose and cockpit (not the interior yet) are designed and ready, too. For the tail section, I´m tending towards a double side rudder similar to the one of an Antonov An-225... The maximum diameter of the fuselage will be 14-16 studs on the level of the primary cargo hold´s floor. Underneath the main cockpit windows(9 to 10 studs wide upper cokpit), the fuselage widens quite a bit, which gives the cockpit a pretty awesome look in my opinion - like the pilots sitting pretty high in a widening fuselage, which I think really fits to a heavy airlifter. I´m really excited right now to continue building... Best regards, Steffen

Nice engine design. 6 peg wide engines will certainly look good wherever they will be hanged from. My only suggestion would be to alter the colour of the pylons. I personally find that a grey pylon makes the engine stand out more, if you know what I mean. Still the overall design you have come up is quite interesting, especially the front of each engine. Good use of slopes and curved bricks.

This is coming along really nicely, I'll definitely have to keep up on this one.

THIS IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE...

May the spirit of Christmas light up your heart, and fill your life with love, joy, and LEGOs!! "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Hey Steffen thancks for the review on my s.e.5,i think that i will probably build the delta dagger...also i am thinking of also maybe doing a cargo plane or maybe a passenger plane but i am not sure which one yet......oh and if you want to see what models i am currently working on just look at the part of my homepage that says upcoming projects...thanks again-----David

Hey Steffen,i was just wondering what are your thouhgts about me maybe doing a F-102 Delta Dagger??? i was inspired to build one out of legos whan i was looking through one of my books about airplanes.....so i just wanted to know what you thought? Happy Holidays-------David

Hey Steffen! It's Stephen A. I know it's been a rediculously long time and you may have even forgotten, but my second episode of my comics "Minifigs Among Us" is finally out. Come and see it!

nicely done, it's only a small part of a plane but It's very detailed, I see you already have four of them, that's great, I can't wait to see it finished (the cargo plane)

Well, it seems this is going to be another of your large projects. I really like the style of all of your aircraft, especially your cargo craft. Can't wait for this one to be finished!

Hey steffen i know we havnt talked in a while but all i can say is .....WOW...........those are some really awesome jet engines you have made.....i cant wait to see the finished plane....and from the looks of it it is going to be a very very big model......anyway looks great....also i know i havnt uploaded any models in a while but i will be uploading a ww2 fighter in the next week------David

I cant wait to see how big that planes gonna be! Good Luck!

You really have good ideas, Steffan. :)

Wow, Steffan; you obviously have a big project in mind. Anyway - about me - it's a long story why I'm not doing anything on MOCpages right now. I live in Africa most of the time and that's where my Legos are. Right now, I'm on a furlough here in the USA and didn't bring any Legos with me. Thus, I don't have anything to post. I have a few unposted projects on my computer, and I am just now uploading some home videos from Youtube. Overall, though, I won't get back into full swing until June or July 2009. Happy building!

beastly!

is that...is that an engine? then its going to be gigantic?! please come comment on my entry for Jeffery Smith's contest?!

Even with that tiny part of what your plane will eventually be, I can see that you're using building techniques which are far more advanced than the ones you used last time. I'm looking forward to the full model!

I'm scared!

wow, this thing is going to be HUGE!!! Just look at how tiny the minfig looks next to it!!! This is shaping up to be your best aircraft yet

Very cool Steffen! This is going to be one of your best planes!I hope for an amazing interior like in your TriStar. Can't wait to see it finished!

From the size of the engines, I suspect this will be somewhere around three feet long when it's done. That would make it a very impressive build.

they look like 737 engines, or an Airbus A-300 engine set. ~Martin

It's gonna be huge !!! Can't wait to see your next masterpiece !

These engine look really cool. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

Thank you Erkki & Firas! I tried to keep the engines with as few studs as possible by using SNOT, but my choice of parts is a bit limited. Also, the entire aircraft will have more studs this time, cause the size of the upcoming wings obliges me to use plates instead of bricks - so I guess the studs on the engines will correspond to the rest later... I figured it would be better to have tons of studs on the top of the "hard points" where the engines will be connected to the wings, cause they are heavy and need to be fixed well... Steffen

And b.t.w. this one will be pretty HUGE!!

Wow man!! those engines are just impressive!! can't wait to see your new project my friend... keep buildin' MR. air-craft master :) >>> T.C. >>> peace.. Fofo

Engines look awesome, but they are not perfect. Its just that they are too studdy.
