Thanks for all the descriptive feedback, guys. I really appreciate it.

Thank you.

It's from one of the sliding 8x16 soccer bases. I picked a couple of them up
at BW03 and have been meaning to use them in a MOC since.

You know it!

I remember it being used in a recent space MOC with a TIE Fighter windshield
piece. I'd been planning to use them like he did, but he beat me to the punch.

Mission accomplished.

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm looking forward to seeing your MOC, too.

I've redone the greeblies in the front three or four times now, and I think
I'm happy with the result. The back is a little less detailed and stable, so
I think I'm going to have to redo that (again) for more structural integrity.

Thanks, but I had some help from round/curved pieces. ;)
My MINI scale Death Star is pretty spherical for being made of plates, though.

Sounds good. Can't wait to see it.

I think I might be able to pull off a good photoshoot with my current
camera. See below. (3)

-----------------------------------------------
1. About the type of craft it is, I was thinking a research vessel, but it's
a little small and doesn't have much room for extended living.
Not really a fighter, either; the engine's too big and an easy target. I
also didn't put any guns on it.
I could only see it as being a racer from there, hence the superfluous (yet
still cool) engine, and the uncovered "fueselage" area...
Any other suggestions on what (/what else) it could fit as? I'm still open
to ideas.
As for the names suggested, both "The Essex" and "Starrunner," I like them
both a lot, but they fit better with different vessel types. Thanks a lot,
I'll be sure to give them great consideration.
2. As for the color scheme, thanks for the feedback on both ends. I
personally like sand green with black; afterall, I started it with that
scheme in mind.
3. UPDATE - I reshot the pictures. They're higher quality, bigger, and
there's more of them. You can see the engines and inside the cockpit now.
Enjoy!

Again, thanks to everyone who's given feedback on this. Now I have to
release it. :)
