gil,
i think this ship is worth spending some time on:
this is my fave pic
http://home.cogeco.ca/~sshaw/Toradoch/Photos/Sparrowhawk/Sparrow%20Hawk%20012.jpg
the angle and ambience is just right, if you could
Photoshop over an ocean or cityscape that would be cool...
ok, so
1) i like the way it lands
2) i like the controlled use of color "zones" (very Mladen)
3) i like the scale. the pilot looks tiny and the engines
look oversized. j0n and i talk about this a lot (for ex.
the standard StarTrek mini-shuttle is a room w/ tiny little
engines and it just looks wrong somehow. look at an F16,
tiny cockpit, BIG body. your ship looks "right" :-)
4) i love the split tail, very effective
5) i think the way the LOM canopy sculpts up to the top
narrowing all the way, is very aesthetic. nice use.
6) the tiny side jets are a very important feature. most
mocs lack these kinds of little details that make sense
i.e. not just another greebly
so, the lesson is, folks,
if you have not much time to kill
and you wanna build something small and tidy
Gil shows how :-)

| Thanks for the kind words Paul! It's funny that you mention the scale....I had originally intended this to be a small unit, but the size of the cockpit was forced to be larger to use the canopy - the real starting point of the craft. The engines (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

| Photoshop installed...like this ? :) Tried some of the new features to make it look like the poster art by Alan Daniels (used w/o permission and property of the owner). A little small, but the best I could find.. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)
