Jeff, I really really like this, but only partly because of the bricks. The
model itself is fairly functional, as it should be, but I mostly enjoyed how
you created something that could conceivably be built. You've taken .space
out of our regularly scheduled fantasy MOCs and given us some pure sci-fi,
and for that I thank you. This has really inspired me to try something more
'realistic'.
The internals are a marvel of economy of space. I can't say I'd like to live
in there for a year, but hey, it takes all kinds to make a universe.
Critiques? Well, I realise the design intent, but I can't help thinking the
exterior is lacking something, I'm just not sure what. It just seems a
little drab. Perhaps a bit more greebling will give it that 'frontier
technology' look, or maybe even just a bit more white so that the white dome
doesn't stand out so much. In all honesty I think it's fine as it is though.
I can't wait to see the supply vessel :)
