My love affair with the 3x12 wedge slope continues:

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,

Man..is that ever ‘out there’. 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 formations on it seem to work with the outlandish colour scheme.
The Bionicle/Racer bits in the engine cowling look excellent.
The only criticism I would have is the interior. For some reason, the ‘plain’
colours of black/red/gray don’t seem to fit the exterior. I would almost expect
to see an all white interior with trans highlights or something. A minor
personal taste.
Innovative as always Paul.

Thanks. I actually quite like this colour, and I used it in a smaller craft but
wanted to try something more adventurous, and I made a conservative guess that a
gaudy colour like lime-green would need a cool neutral like chrome to improve
the overall scheme.

Well, I vetoed white as I didn’t want it as the interior decor colour scheme for
a luxury craft... also, the belly of the foresection is effectively one element
thick inside and out, to maximise the interior space... and the belly exterior
is black for brick budgetary reasons, hence... black. Not sure what sort of use
of trans highlights you were thinking of. if I’d organised the interior
structure better, I might have been able to make it a different colour...
