I have to agree with Tim, and Drew here. Like Tim said, that kind post
everything I build attidude is "disturbing". I mean, if you have a design that
you think is cool or has some aspects about it that is cool, then post it, BUT
if you have a very rushed and simplistic design that is very generic and boring
than consider rebuilding it or scraping it all-together, instead of telling us
about it. I'm sorry Rick, but most of your designs are very box-like, HOWEVER
you do have some COOL designs, like the Caducous and Ultima, nice us of those
scaffolding-like thingys... So remember quality over quantity, and don't think
you're the only one who did this, I personally have some below par models I
told people here about (Heavy Hovertank and Heavy Fighter).

IE, the first and last ones - they are just long tubes with a bridge on the
top.
Well, transports that just ferry ppl back and forth dont have to be cool
looking....

Now *there*s a matter of opinion if I ever saw one.  Personally, I'd like all
of my creations to look cool (whether they do or not is a totally separate
issue), even if they're ugly.  For space, IMO, ugly and cool are two different
subjects, because some vehicles for certain tasks *are* ugly.  But ugly in an
obviously functional way.

The ships aren't *bad* if you consider them being obviously microfig scale,
though they aren't the best microfig creations.  What they do remind me of is
Karim Nassar's capital ship (the name escapes me) but that's done in minifig
scale.  His ship is *very* impressive with its generous use of quarter and
half domes on their sides.

But I think that having an apathetic attitude that stuff isn't under a
requirement to look cool, then posting 'hey look at these!' is rather silly,
if not disturbing.  But, its your creations, and your post, not mine.
