Check out the first sample here.

Hmmm. First, 3 question:

1. What does “apocryphal” mean?

Jeez! When you ask it point-blank like that, you make me wonder if I’ve been misusing it all this time.

Ah, then my tweak worked!

   My usage is a usurpation of the term as it applies to the non-canonical books of the bible (the Gospel of Charlie, the Book of Tasty Recipes, and the like), but my designs and pieces are “apocryphal” to the canonical LDraw library (and, for that matter, to LEGO MOC-dom in general).

I was just messing with you, and I apologize for the absence of a winky. I think it is a great name.

  
   2. Where did you get your design inspiration?

Whoa! Shock-and-awning!

Good one!

   I swear, I never saw that image until you brought it to my attention, and any suggestions to the contrary are vicious, vicious lies!


Methinks you doth protest too much....

  
   All seriousness aside, I can only admire your dedication to clone world. You definitely march to the beat of a different drum, Dave!

Thanks kindly! I’ve found a niche, and I hope to stick with it.

Say, did you see Koyan’s little tutorial that he posted on Brickshelf today? Perhaps that will help you with your renders. And I believe that his real name is “Stijn” (pronounced “Stein” perhaps?)

  
   On to the critique: This is a nice little ship, presumably scout class, and easily identified in ICMMII color scheme. Or perhaps a spy ship, infiltrating the home world on reconnaissance for nefarious purposes? Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

Well, practice makes perfect. Honestly, after I’d designed it, I realized that I hadn’t included any weapons. So a scout it is!

The only thing better than a pacifist is an unconscious pacifist;-)

  
   I look forward to seeing subsequent offerings; maybe something larger and more intimidating:-d

Mega Bloks has a 10x2x8 windscreen in trans-orange that I hope to incorporate into a big ol’ IPMMII MOC at some point. Stay tuned (for an indefinite length of time...)

   ...“blocks of ice” You’re incorrigible, Dave!

nyuk nyuk nyuk

Wiseguy, eh?
