Felix,
I have a ritual of hitting the same sites (lugnet, fbtb, allspark Iacon
Gallery (only recently)) but I actually do not always go to Brickshelf
because the first two keep me pretty busy. ;-)
I enjoy reading the background info or hearing about how a certain piece was
used "unconventionally" so I'd say post 'em here.
I came across the Black Jack when hitting "Up" in your gallery for the last
thing you posted (which I can't think of right now). I thought to myself
"Hey, that's pretty cool" but did not have time to look through the folder
and then I forgot about it (so I guess there's another reason ;-] ). Went
through most of the pics now. I have to say that the Black Jack is an
excellent model! From picture 6 you can pretty much see the topview and the
form as a whole is neat. From the thumbnails I was thinking "what
windshield did he use?" and upon further inspection I saw the construction
and how the smaller windows were used for the angles--that works great
there. Couple of highlights: even though the ship reads as more of a
freighter to me, i think it could compete with the Falcon cause that engine
is HUGE and the exhaust is rather small, so back up! I like those flaps on
the engine too (saw three used similarly recently but also can not think of
from where). I have not used angled flat panels for wings yet but the more
I see them I more I think I will. I also like the SNOT usage of those space
hulls (? - know they are in the Space Police II Rebel Hunter and Deep Freeze
Defender).
The Light Fighter is a nifty little craft...very streamlined. From scanning
the folder I was like "OH WOW...HE made a TRANSFORMER!" but I see that mech
is a different unit. (Hey, I'd say go for it, although I know TFs aren't
easy!). In this fighter you have found good use for two more-or-less
uncommon parts--the blue barrels/cement thingys and the 33-angled 3x3s.
The FOSNSKOH is just whack! Hehe That is a cool idea about the uniforms.
Alright, that's it for now.
ciao&salaam
