  "Duvernay" Mk2
 
can't wait: (URL) a Anthropological Research Starship, studying feral humans. It is the Karalehn Industries Akins Class, Proxia. note: this is the 2nd version of this ship. It has gone from three decks to one. I realized I was trying to do too much (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.general) ! 
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
Good job, Lenny! This MOC immediately caught my eye as I was skimming through the recent stuff on Brickshelf. It's a cool design, though most of the pics showing the whole model were a bit fuzzy and don't do it justice. I dig the detailing in the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
I really like the shape of that ship. That's great use of all the hinges. The red stripe around it is cool. Good job with the interior. I like the greebling, too. -Andrew (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
Oh, WOW. That looks great, Lenny. Definently an improvement on your earlier 'ugly ship.' I love the shape of this one, it looks almost like a bunch of modules connected together with a hallway. The greebling is great, and I like the shape of the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
This ship is great, but I don't like the front. A single flat window as a cockpit? It just doesn't seem right. Maybe it needs a little more work on that part, but the rest is gorgeous. I really like the way you designed those small chambers with (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Nice re-work of a Spyrius Nation System Patrol Boat. It looks great in civillian colors and configuration! www.brickshelf.com/c...gi?f=31120 (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
this is a major improvement. you've come a long way. I agree with most of the earlier posters. The "navigation" area is too much like a room. it would be better served to maybe knock out those walls and replace them with slopes and a couple of (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
Hi Leonard, There's a lot to like in this ship. The way you've achieved the angled shapes of the bridge and cabins is very good. The dual engine systems are a nice touch. I also like how you've made the cabins feel all homey with flowers and such. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Wow! Kind words from the Master! Thanks Dan! Yeah, I took these right after I completed it, and it was dark out.. so not alot of light. But I am going to reshoot it, and get some poster board as you suggest. Although, I'll probably need two. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Andrew, Thanks.. I just about used up all of my hinge bricks in making this. It is funny how I've got so many.. hardly ever use them, and then one project and I have a moment where I think: 'great now, I gotta go to bricklink and get more!' (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Hello Mr. Kruer, Actually I was afraid people would say I copied the Tantive IV.. but no one has yet. I was thinking of modules as a cool way to build a really large ship that could then be taken apart to get at the interior details. They (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Terry, Actually, I don't like that single window either.. but wasn't sure what else to do. It didn't look right without a window (not that any one can see out of it, the control computers being what they are), but I kinda ran out of red (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) You know, I had forgotten the name of the "Sulu" and was looking for it when I was looking for inspiration/ideas. thanks for the link.. and yeah, they do look alike. but not completely! -lentu (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Tavis, Thanks for the kind words and the ideas. Right now I'm seriously thinking about a Mk3 version, incorporating ideas that people have given me, especially these. I had some interesting ideas for the research area, but was quite sure how (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
Hey, This is a great job. Good design, good job keeping the model clean, and neat interiors. Welcome to the world of buildin' big ships... you'll love it, then you'll hate it and build small... then get the desire to build it big again... then fail, (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) Hey Allister, Thanks.. I tried. :o) (...) I'm not sure why it's brave (someone mentioned this before on the Mk1 design). personally I think those windows work great as portholes, like you'd find on a cruise ship or airplane.. seems to me (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) HA HA! this describes the feeling accurately! This is actually my fourth attempt (an unpublished thing, the "Anju", and Duvernay Mk1 & Mk2) and after each attempt I ask myself.. why do i do this to myself? It's so hard and it takes so long.. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
Cool! It's a bit of a 'me too' at this stage, but this turned out nicely, Lenny. Mind you, I never thought that the orginally was ugly...just looked like the smaller part of a very large ship. However, this was an excellent predecessor to the (...) (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) It has a nice overall shape. Good use of hinges in achieving it. The only criticism I can think of (and it's a stretch) is the stark contrast between the rough/greebled top and smooth sides. Jeff J (21 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) entire thread until it was mentioned in a more recent one... Lenny, I just want to say that I love this ship! The general industrial feel with the hoses running through the bridge and the greeblings outside are nice. Nice use of hinges to (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: "Duvernay" Mk2
 
(...) this is one of the reasons i spend alot of time hitting the "random folders" button on brickshelf. each time you do it, you are almost entirely guarenteed to find something cool that you've never seen before. (...) thanks! the overhead lights (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-03, to lugnet.space)
