VXC(ht) EIDOLON Vic Viper De-cloaking

Ok, here's the deal. Apparently, 15 months ago, I saw this work of art by FrenzyRumble and thought "Wow, what a cool idea for a Vic Viper come NoVVember!" In time I completely forgot to order a wide range of trans pieces until this post on TBB jogged my memory. So this ship is a bit of a rush job with the transparent bricks I had on hand.

There's plenty room for improvement:
_It needs more clear round pieces, bombs/missiles to give more character I think, it's a little too rectangular.
_TRANS CLEAR HEADLIGHTS!
_Also the blue "phase in" line could do with some added light and dark blue, etc etc, the list of improvements goes on. Anyway, it's done!

    Sweet idea matey, love the blue boundary 'frizz' as it de-cloaks : )

    Thinking, with enough trans clear, you could do a Wonder Woman's jet : D

    This concept is truly amazing, i didn't get it at first although now that i finally get it it stuns me every time i look at it!

    Beat me to it. I was going to make a VV partially turning invisible!

    Great concept! The viper is great by itself. I'd like to see a fully uncloaked version as well.

    Wow, great concept!

    Fantastic!

  12. vynsane (6 months ago | reply)

    That's fantastic! I was going to say that the 'phase-in' line should have been made from trans-blue (light and dark) pieces but I noticed a lot of it is sticker work, so that wouldn't have been possible.

    Now build one totally cloaked, and one totally de-cloaked ;)

    That is just way cool. Probably one of the most original VV's I've seen.

    Excellent execution of the idea! Fantastic work.

    I think you pulled this off beautifully but I'd love to see more of this! Looks damn cool!

    The blue decloak 'boundary' works really well.

  19. halfbeak (6 months ago | reply)

    Awesome idea.

  20. Apocalust (6 months ago | reply)

    Love the idea. Kinda figured it was some kind of stealth action happening. Good name choice! I think maybe the boundary could be trans blue? Really love the engine housing. Nice and angular.

    You da man, Shan.

  22. m_o_n_k_e_y (6 months ago | reply)

    Rad idea

  24. knobbyplastic [deleted] (6 months ago | reply)

    That's a totally ace idea, true art.

  25. Shannon Ocean (6 months ago | reply)

    Heh heh, I got a funny feeling someone was working on something similar for NoVVember. You're still going to post yours right? I'd love to see it.

    Cheers guys!

    I'll get back to it, hopefully. The main color is red, so for the transition I was doing trans clear to trans red to solid red. It would be smaller than yours.

    Sweet action Shan!

  28. Scruffy Mynxbane (6 months ago | reply)

    Now THIS is how the Shann-O does Vic Viper! (totally channelling Alan Arkin from Road to El Dorado as i say this.)

  29. Crimso Giger (6 months ago | reply)

    The VV by Titolian was obviously fantastic, but yours is more in my taste because more classically built, which allows a more subtle design. Great job with all those transparents parts, really ! And the "rectangular" approach is not a problem at all ;-) Great job !!!

    Oh, oh, I am moved. This is just perfect, Shan -> work of art, for sure.

  31. Malone Lionheart (6 months ago | reply)

    This effect is amazing.

  32. nate_decastro (6 months ago | reply)

    Too cool man! I love LEGO SFX.

  33. Cole Blaq (6 months ago | reply)

    This concept is right up my alley. I'd love seeing you further developing this.

  34. Titolian (6 months ago | reply)

    Brilliant! I wouldn't have expected the effect to work nearly as well as it does.

  35. Heiwa71 (5 months ago | reply)

    That's really eyecatching, great concept!
