Arrival of the Swarm...Author: jawapro

Last year for Brickvention, I brought along a small spacecraft that I’d designed and built. I christened it a ‘Swarm Fighter’.
Compared to most of the spaceships on display, it was quite lame - but I was proud of it - my first decent MOC (My Own Creation - freebuilt model).
One of the coolest parts of the ship (and one that dictated the design) was that the cockpit slides to open, instead of hinging up. I couldn’t really display this last time, as I’d rather show it in flight mode.
So this time I built 3 more!
My Swam Fighter now has a swarm!
I also wanted to make it look a little more dynamic, so I built stands for each of the fighters. They all showed the ships in slightly different poses - one is flying straight, another is angled downwards, one is landed, and the last is tilted to one side. Makes them look far more impressive if you ask me.
It also allows the landed craft to have an open cockpit while the others are showing off the craft in flight mode.
Although still outshone by the quality of the other spacecraft around them - my Swarm Fighters at least looked like they belonged on the table this year.
