I wouldn't say that it is more interesting or anything. In fact what it is I
can't put my finger on. I think the classic space stuff is just plain cool.
Actually, I don't like steamlined spaceships as much, I spose because they
lack realism (and I'm still coming to terms with the classic space ships).
And greebles are good. Although I do believe one can put too much greebles,
I also believe that at least some are required in order to give the model a
technical, futuristic feel. It's all about creating a happy medium :)
Over the years and especially whilst on Lugnet, I have begun to notice many
of the elements of a good design, especially with factors such as model
cleanliness (amount of greebles), colour schemes, engines, etc. and found
that they are all about creating a happy medium...
There's my 2c
