Outstanding!! (When will it be released for sale...? ;-) Definitely spotlighted!!

Minor concern: will there be any blue 1x1 sloping tiles left to buy on Bricklink? LOL.

Greetings, Erik (long time lurker who has been viewing your MOCs for years now ;-)

Superb as always! I’d have preferred longer landing gear struts, but I’ve seen some aircraft with landing gear just like your model. I absolutely loved your solution to the landing gear doors and the animation of the landing gear deploy is way cool.

I think the vehicle has the feel of something out of Japanese animation while still retaining that Classic Space feel.

Speaking of landing gear, the A-37 Dragonfly has always impressed me with how low to the ground it is:



Certainly shows that Bram’s ship is right on course for being like the “Tweet” in that respect!

Of course, his MOC is better detailed than the A-37 :-)

Although pretty, longer landing gear requires either fancier (usually weaker) joints or bigger doors. But I’m glad people like the landing gear clips!

   I think the vehicle has the feel of something out of Japanese animation while still retaining that Classic Space feel.

I was heavily inspired by some photos I found of the Minerva from the anime Crusher Joe (even though I didn’t know that’s what I was looking at), along with Classic Space, modern jumbo-jets, and a bit of space shuttle.

I just looked at the Classic Space link and found a picture from an AN-225. Your landing gear is very close to what that aircraft has, and it’s a *big* plane! My brother works for a general contractor that does work at power plants and he sent me some pictures of the AN-225 unloading some huge power plant parts.

Your creation is a similarly impressive scale. It looks like it would be much bigger than the US space shuttle.

Bram,

as always, only one word to describe your MOC’s.. AWESOME. I will be looking carefully at your 1/2 slope usage for some aviation-related MOC’s that will be going into a project I’ve been working on for a while. I’d like to know if you’re working on a spaceport to house this and your Q-35 liner, too!

I took the Q-35 apart years ago. Besides that, my collection isn’t big enough to build a spaceport that would do ships this scale justice.

Wow, another awesome MOC Bram, the animated gif showing the landing retracting explained a lot.

Thanks,
