Hi Niels,
I saw this little space car on BrickShelf and found it very nice. But I agree
with John about the big black slopes you use at the front end of the car,
supporting the headlights : although they allow your ship to look like your
inspiration model, my opinion is that they break the dynamism you have else
where on this MOC.
Maybe you could try to replace them with some kind of wings / stabilisators
of some kind? This way you won’t loose the overall shape?

OH! Do you think he meant those?? -Those are the big and greedy airintakes
that’s supposed to be hollow and transport the air through the “runningboards”
back to the enging (where they fan out to both engines, resembling classic
runningboards with wheels in front and back). -The center grille is only for
cooling the antigrav.
I’d actually planned to make a little graphic explaining that, but decided to
explain it in the presentation and.. forgot, so thanks for reminding me!
I hope that the model wins by that information, since I’m very keen on changing
that: It’s kind of the whole idea of the model to link the future with the past,
and I feel that the whole “veteran-runningboard-nostalgia” is the soul of the
model.

Do you have bricks enough to build it for real?
|
Yes and no... I could build it, but not in the right colours: My collection is
“coloured by the fact that” I’m only recently begun moving out of my unicoluored
grey-period (or grey with a little black in recent years), so the ldraw-software
is my great opportunity to start learning how to use colours.
And since I’m running on a somewhat tight budget that situation isn’t going to
change anytime soon, if ever: Right now I’m just trying to keep up with the
constant stream of exiting new parts. (Man! I would like to put my hands on
those new long wings of the new milennium falcon: I’ve been dreaming on that
kind of wings for years, and it won’t go on sale for ages!)
Hm! maby it wasn’t nessecary to go in the defensive and tell all that, but I got
a feeling that that might be considered kind of cheating from something John
said in the other reply:

Comments/critiques? Well, this MOC might not get as many because it is
rendered.

I hope we’ll see more of your MOCs here!
|
Definetly, especially if I keep getting such nice feedback as yours ;-).
I’ve had another entry for the contest ready for some time, but right now I’m
working on a much more advanced scene for it than this one. But perhaps I just
skip it to be able to finish the huge bus I’ve been working on in time (since
early-medio May!).
Cheers
