| (...) taken more pictures and put them up on Brickshelf. As of this writing they haven't been moderated yet, so here's a couple of the more important ones - (URL) is the connecting corridor that wasn't obvious in the first round o' pics. You can (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

|
| Dude, I love the carrier. Not so often do we see support equipment, I love it! Particuarily the engine, the chute from bed of truck to interior, and the greeblies on the exterior are very nice. I like your use of the antennes for arms and legs. I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space)

|
| Cool. Like Paul said, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "racing boat". The shape of it is really pleasing. I think that the sporadic black and antifreeze bits detract a bit from the model. I makes an otherwise clean design look kind of (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
| | | | | greebling for keeps
|
| oh yeah, very nice. although you want to keep in mind what adrian said: build what YOU like, and don't mind us ***holes (paraphrasing) this is really nice now, keeping the greeblies in between the slopes and behind the engine panels is really (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

|
| John, While I think the ship looked good the way it was (yeah, if it were to *really* fly thru space it might get ripped up, and maybe "fighter" wasn't the best description for it), this is even better. I think it's fine just the way it is now. Maye (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

| Okay, I've stripped most of the greeblies: (URL) this a good place to start redesigning the model? PLMKWYT. -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

| Wow, thanks for the very detailed response, Paul. I might change the story line... -JHK (who's going to go and redesign the Heavy Fighter, or perhaps take it apart and try to build a greeblie-less ship) (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
| | | | | to greeble or not to greeble
|
| (...) well, there are basically two 'kinds' of design: 1) greebled, machinery, "dirty" look 2) smooth, sleek, refined, "clean" look #1 shows up in a lot of movies like Aliens, et al where you see lots of greeblies all over everything. #2 shows up in (...)

| (...) My designs take in a great deal of various Sci Fi sources. Most space vehicles on TV and movies are typically fairly uncluttered, or at least have large expanses of smooth surfaces. Most likely because it's easier to make models that way. But (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

| OK, well, at the risk of being accused of saying its PrettyGood TM its PrettyGood. meaning, its a lot better than other stuff you've done. you are getting a cool feel for shape and color and hiding stuff in your ship like sandman does sometimes. i (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
