Hi Richie, the shadow effect is actually kind of easy to do. The trick is, once you have the subject selected, copy then select inverse, and fill with 100% opacity. Then use the transform/distort and grab the upper handles of the selection box and (...) (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Nice work, Eric. The shadow effect is remarkable - I wonder if a colour other than blue for the floor wouldn't work better with the mostly blue Bloobit? Cheers Richie Dulin CO Legeaux (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I really like it. The five engine/wing is blended nicely into the design. I also like the fact that the wings aren't all the same, which gives a bit of assymetry to the symmetric design. :) (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I'm no space fan, but you've captured a lot of what I associate with the genre in one nice slick MOC. Good work! I would love to see a slightly longer version, but the scale of the various wing components and the angles of their alignment is (...) (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.space, FTX)
