I am never able to wait until the model is finished before I post, so here is another almost done model. I haven't finished a lot of the internal details and the rear portion around the engines still needs work too, but the overall shape is evident. Pre-moderation http://home.austin.rr.com/prj/atcr/ Post-moderation http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31757 I count many influences in the design of this model but none more than these two; Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers). I have always loved these designs; http://www.shipschematics.net/yamato/ Ken Takeuchi and his 0050 Cruiser. Many are probably more impressed with the 0059 carrier but the 0050 came first. http://member.nifty.ne.jp/ken-tucky/WORKS/0050.html I love the color scheme and construction as seen here; http://member.nifty.ne.jp/ken-tucky/WORKS/0050-2.html pat J http://home.austin.rr.com/prj/

		Re: Microfig Attack Carrier
I think this one has merit Pat, particularily for it's fidelity to the 70's anime ship aesthetic. Poking around the several Yamato/Starblazers referrence sites, it struck me that the designs of the time are curving, bulbous lots, often resembling (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Very cool ship! I like the overall shape of it. The color scheme is...descent (white and dark gray just don't look good together, OMHO) What pieces did you use for the interior part of the rockets? Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
