It’s dark blue. It’s a starfighter. It’s got everything you’d expect:
landing gear, minifig-accessible cockpit (though I neglected to take pics
with a pilot.. doh..) laser cannon, missiles, engines; it’s all there.
What do you like?

Very smooth and simply oozing with style. I love the shape. The smoothness
and subtle asymmetry are fantastic with a capital FAAN.
And you’ve done a
wonderful job of covering the studs that need covering and leaving the studs
that need leaving.

What doesn’t look good to you? I can take it.

Nits only, but:
- Logically, the engine exhausts seem small and are so far below the center of
mass that this would never work in space... but they look so durn good!
- If
you only have one main gun, it should be bigger.
- The intakes look like they
need to lose that top grey bit inside, like replacing it with a black plate and
setting it one stud back like the middle plate.
- You’re missing some pictures,
like the ship on the ground with gear down. Is there a front foot, or does it
balance on those technic bits?
- No presentation of a minifig-scale ship is
complete without a cool pilot (and preferably a short stupid backstory).
Good
gravy, she’s gorgeous.

| There's no fancy name for it. I couldn't decide. Just call it whatever strikes your fancy.
