Ayy, there we are! That’s quite the aesthetic you’ve got for ol’ Jetbug. The inclusion of the translucent pieces on his legs is quite nice and helps blend the palette really well.

I can’t place the block in the middle of his back, however. What set is it from?

[Rons_oc]

Thanks man!

The big engine/intake part is from the older Lego Racers RC cars.

This one in particular:
Sunset Cruiser : Set 8676-1 | BrickLink

Very sweet! The Metru eyestalk on his thighs is inspired. He also gives slightly Sentrahk vibes, though I can’t quite explain why.

[Rons_oc]

Thanks!
The keetorange and silhouette does resemble it a bit, I can see it

[TheJerminator]

The tongue design is very effective.

[Minethuselah]

Magnificent. I really like his gun, are those Cordak missiles on the ends?

I think the one thing I miss is the crazy spiked armor the original set had, though the spikes really wouldn’t fit here so it makes sense why they’re gone. Solid build!

[Au-Plau-Se]

The revamp you made for Jetbug is remarkable. The details are beautiful and exhilirating.

@Minethuselah

are those Cordak missiles on the ends?

They are indeed! I wanted a more realistic looking gun, but with that fiery red ammo still visible

Beautiful! I always loved jetbug and this is a fantastic update
