The rest of the stuff aside from the two above...I don’t really have much
feelings for. To be blunt, I don’t like your aircraft, largely because they
seem so heavily studded and plain. Some of the military stuff is decent,
especially that very nice little gunturret/observation platform (Any chance of
an MLCad file for it?). However..your new “Pirate Sty1e” is simply gorgeous. I
first mistook the Harrower for a capship photographed at a distance, then for a
microscale capship, and then finally began to let myself hope that it might even
be a fighter..before seeing the picture of the cockpit. That fighter is one of
the very very few I’ve ever seen that lacks a viewport/canopy in the
conventional sense. It has a very strong “Homeworld” feel to it, and the color
choice is powerful. With the exception of some elements of the cockpit, some
very very subtle angles/bricks that seem off, I have to consider it to be the
most perfect fighter posted on Brickshelf in quite some time. The corvette
doesn’t quite follow the same style, but I’m dying to see a continuation of the
theme, perhaps even some sort of comic-book exploration of the universe a la
Daniel Jassim. And we can’t possibly let you get away with making that capship
and not providing photos of the interior :P Absolutely stunning work, as
always. Hope to see more soon!

Wha...? I don’t think I’ve ever built anything like that. Link?
I don’t use any Lego CAD software. If anyone makes a Mac program, let me know.

Well, get the bricks out and build some Pirates! Thanks. I’m hoping to work the
Pirates up into a fan-theme of their own.

Thanks. I don’t own Homeworld, but I like the style; the Homeworld craft were an
inspiration for a lot of the Pirate craft, especially the color layout.
I generally don’t give Pirate craft viewports (or at least not big ones). I’m
trying for the antithesis of PCS: Thick, blocky and vicious.

Cool. I’ve toyed aroung with the idea, but until my life settles down a bit,
you’ll have to content yourself with MOC photos.

|
Ah, but you see, there isn’t an interior beyond the conning tower. That darn
Fold System Cluster takes up too much space...
| |
Absolutely stunning work, as always. Hope to see
more soon!

Well, I’m not finished with the Space Pirates yet. I’ve got plans for a couple
more ships at least.
Soren Roberts,
Pirate Guildmaster
