Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback, it is much appreciated. As usual, I never know when to stop messing with a project and declare it ‘done’, and so I’ve been tampering with the Solaris. Based on some comments, and my own dissatisfaction with some of the pictures, I have done some refactoring to accomplish the following:

Get rid of the ‘pipes’ in the front (I’m not sure what those were or why they were there) and increase the height of the radar support tube. For some reason I find the front end to be far more satisfying now:



The mid-section gun chunk was looking a little barren, and so to accommodate Soren’s demand for missiles, I implemented a missile system. It has 2 positions for load/launch and I think the added complexity and color enhances this part of the ship:



The engine area was looking too blocky, and I got inspired to make a change. This is way better in my opinion, and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this to begin with:



I also uploaded dissection photos to show the modules and internal struture:

I’m pretty certain that I am ‘done’ with this project now, and I can start to devote my attention to my next project - another SNOT SHIP :)

Comments and feedback are always welcome. Thanks, Jon

(...) I'd like to see a few overall shots of the exterior. The shots you have are good, but how about side, top, front, back, perspective, and etc. views of the whole ship? Thanks, Jeff (18 years ago, 28-Aug-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) snip (...) Thanks for the construction pics- those are always nice. But I want to see a picture of you swooshing it! If it can't be picked up in one piece, then an alternate Lenny shot would do... perhaps riding it and swinging a cowboy hat (...)
