My love affair with the 3x12 wedge slope continues:
Argent
Supra
This came out a bit more old-school than I intended. And a lot bigger (it sort
of strains the boundaries of whooshability!). It was originally going to be an
all-silver spaceship like a Naboo starship, but I changed my mind - and
conserved the lions’ share of the silver elements for another spaceship.
The landing gear is a bit fugly, but it is sturdy and extremely compact... so
I left it as-is.
Cheers,

| (...) That's exactly what I thought when I first saw the pics on Brickshelf. (...) I like it, but... I think the printed slopes make it a little too busy. I think the design would look more cohesive if some of the slopes were Brassoed. For starters, (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hey Paul! Very impressive design and excellent presentation (please tell me you’ll save that landing bay for future MOCs!). You definitely are the king of the 3 X 12 slopes. I’m still struggled with what to do with the 4 I have. Those engines are (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

To be honest, when I first saw it in the thumbnail I recoiled a little bit due to the lime green....truly one of the hardest colours for me to get my head around. A closer look however reveals that the spire (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| That is a whole lot of lime there Paul! What a cool looking ship. I especially like the integration of the Technic panels and the 2x4 wedge plates that make up the front of the engines. If I had one ever so slight negative comment, it would be to (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space)

| Excellent work Paul! Fantastic form and detailing. The landing gear also strikes my fancy. Yes it's "fugly", but it looks extremely functional and robust. I might have to look into that type of design when I get around to building spacecraft again. (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Excellent Paul! I can't wait to see what you do with the silver. Usually I'd prefer that they had used stickers rather than printing on bricks, but I don't mind the printing so much on this; it helps to break up the lime. I like how the (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I'm not really a huge fan/builder of LEGO space (mainly for the knowledge and lack of building experience in that area)... but Steven Locke showed me this, and I totally agree with him :) very nice indeed and as I (...)

| (...) Great MOC Paul! You really made lime work for me. And the metallic parts just rock with it. Great design and it still looks mighty swooshable to me! Love, Sylvi (20 years ago, 17-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Looks like it would be a super-fast; better watch out for space (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) WOW. These ((URL) really make me want to pull out my legos and build again. I am curious, what is your process? Do you draw on paper then use LDraw or something similar to design and then build? Do you buy sets to get the parts you need, or do (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
