Thanks for the comments and criticisms, Paul and Doug.

The wing shape is probably something I could work on—out of all the shapes I tried I like it the best, but I confess I’m not completely satisfied with it either. I didn’t want it to be a mere reiteration of the previous Paladin, and used the F-22 Raptor as a more immediate influence to the design than the Crusher Joe/Macross ships.

It’s true too, that plates allow for a lot more angles than bricks. Maybe I shouldn’t sacrifice angles for no studs next time.

Anyhow, I’m glad you guys liked it. And thanks for the comments.
