jerryherb Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Anyone seen the proposed concorde on ideas? this thing looks pretty sweet and would be a good complement to the "10177 boeing 787" set but better, since the plane itself was rare/awesome, had a huge impact on aviation history and is now retired. the piece count looks reasonable and may actually be feasible for lego to make one.

10230 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Looks pretty nice, although I would have expected a studless design for a supersonic airplane. 1 Quote
mscheaf Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Looks pretty nice, although I would have expected a studless design for a supersonic airplane. Yeah it's going to tear itself apart beyond mach 1 Quote
jerryherb Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah it's going to tear itself apart beyond mach 1 it will melt into a seamless TRU display come xmas 2015 Quote
edgecrusher Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 This is a great Ideas MOC. I really like the engine on the cart and the ability to switch the livery on the plane. I supported this when it popped up the other day, I thought the Concorde was awesome when I was a kid. Quote
biniou Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of its lego design, but I love the idea of a Concorde from lego... ideas. The guy thought about the nose droop, its great. No need to mention that it could be a massive winner in my country. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Supported. Seems like they are due to do a larger Ideas set eventually. Quote
beartrapper Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Looks pretty nice, although I would have expected a studless design for a supersonic airplane. I guess with enough plates this could be overcome. 1 Quote
tractorboy Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I like it, it looks great. I don't mind the studs either. Quote
gregpj Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) But does it have swooshability? I think this would be a great set. This past spring I went to the Intrepid Air & Space museum in NYC and checking out the Concorde on the deck was a highlight for sure. *Edit.. Concorde's nothing... just the plane.* Edited October 10, 2014 by gregpj Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 But does it have swooshability? There should be a series of videos asking the question "but can it swoosh?" that is if there isn't already. Quote
Spanky Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 There should be a series of videos asking the question "but can it swoosh?" that is if there isn't already. Yeah, I was seriously disappointing by the swooshability of 10181. Every time I try flying it around the living room I end up with a pile of gray bricks on the floor. I guess that's what happens when a Frenchman designs a rocket. 1 Quote
