pieces is a good skill to have.  I suggest you throw a few bricks under the
tail strut to fatten it up a bit, and use something a little smaller for the
rudder (like maybe an 8x4 wing layed down with 4 studs up and 8 across).

Thanks :)  Come to think of it, that would be a way better tail.

The BBT is aptly named.  ;)   Always like a well-placed pirate flag.  I took
the white flags off my Twin Starfire (an old school classic space set -
#1499) and replaced them with Pirate flags a while back...  I'm also a big
sucker for asymmetry, so I really like that curved plate you used just
behind the barrel of the cannon.

The flag was an after thought.  Glad you like it!

Which brings me to the Hauler, my favorite of the lot.  I usually don't go
for land vehicles, but this one has a solid color scheme and realistic
design.  And good asymmetry.  ;)

Really?  I thought it was one of my less impressive MOC's

It's strange, but you seem to be gaining months of skills between pictures.
Were these built over a long period of time and only just now you're posting
pictures of everything?  The chopper is pretty cool.  It would probably kick
my chopper's butt, but mine's faster, I'm sure.  ;)    One simple suggestion
for it: lengthen the main rotor blades to as long as you can make them (that
is, just short enough to not hit the rear rotor)

Actually, these were all built in the space of a few days.  I like the idea of
longer rotors a lot, but i had all thses built at the same time, and my grey
collection was kinda depleted :(

The space ship is a pretty good concept, but I think it needs something on
the roof.  Like, oh, I dunno...  a big ol' cannon or something!  Can never
have enough of those...

Thanks.  i had planned to use on of those funky aquazone canopies to make a
turret, but i just couldnt make it "fit" with the rest of the ship.

Thanks for the feedback!
