Well, good news and two points of bad news.
Bad news I: I don’t think that “eschew” is the word you want to use there,
because it implies “escape” from or “avoidance” of your MOC, and why would
anyone want to do that?
Bad news II: I’m not at all familiar with Space Above and Beyond, because it
aired years ago when I worked evenings and didn’t own a VCR!
But to heck with those petty quibbles:
Good News: It’s a great-looking MOC. The forward sweep of the wings is unusual
and eye-catching, and it carries quite a load of ordnance. I like the two
turret-guns, a mounting system I’ve never been good at designing, and I
particularly like the union of LEGO and Oxford elements.
I’ve had only limited exposure to Oxford, but I see a clever use of the
slope-tiles (sort of like these)
along the body where the main wings join. Also, the wings, canopy, and bombs
appear to be Oxford, correct? Likewise the “grooved” 1x2 bricks alongside the
cockpit.
Great stuff, and thanks for sharing! Do you have any more MOCs or pictures to
show us?
By the way--if you haven’t checked it out yet, you might want to visit the new
Bloks forum, intended mainly as a place to
discuss Mega Bloks, but all clone brands are welcome!
Dave!
