Hi all,
Inspired by Bruce Lowell’s Starflux, I’ve built a craft similar in shape and design, but much smaller!

I like what you have done with the windshields. The side greebles look good.
|
Thanks, I was trying to get a copter look.
| |
I don’t think the rear dish serves this particular MOC well. It just looks
kind of tacked-on.
|
Well, I was basing the ship on Bruce’s design.
| |
The black thingy on the top also doesn’t flow. If you
wanted a fin up there, I’d have used a wing or a slope. Or how about a long
antenna that angles back toward the rear?
|
I only added that to balance the black landing skid at the bottom. It also
looked like a fin of a fish.
| |
I like the landing gear/missile racks.
|
Yeah, that’s one of my favorite features on this model.
| |
I like the use of binoculars as guns,
but the placement doesn’t make sense to me. It wouldn’t be able to shoot at
anything ahead of the vehicle. I’d say take each stick one of each binocular
gun on each side of the vehicle, up on the “engine” areas. This vehicle
seems to be more of a go-straight-ahead type of thing anyway.
|
I agree, I don’t like where they’re located, but I couldn’t fit the guns
anywhere else (I didn’t think about mounting them on the side, though)
| |
I think you should drop one of the colors. Mladen Pejic once said that three
main colors is enough, and I agree with that. Any more, and it gets kind of
busy and the colors begin to compete.
|
Yeah, I think the white should go. I put it there to get an interior feel, but
I don’t really like it.

Wow, thanks for all the constructive criticism! Maybe I’ll go back and rebuild
it using some of your ideas.
Thanks again,
