That pic really demonstrates the long gradual curves of the ship. Very nice. Also, the white frames the grey in a really nice way. There is a noticeable lack of exposed studs, another bonus. And the central gray struts are angled in opposite directions which has the unique effect of making the lighting on the moc look like a zigzag on those areas. Did you do this deliberately or was it an aftereffect?


I set this pic as my desktop background. Again you can see the zigzag effect from the lighting. So nice.


The engines have slopes inside of them used in a way that I really like, i.e. dropping them into the 4x4 inverse slope pieces. Also, it never occured to me to nest the 3x6 white engines on the sides like that. I always stack them, not offset them. Go figger.


I like the symmetrical rows of mini radar dishes near the back and the overall shape is excellent. You’d think that so many decorated pieces would throw off the effect, but the whiteness is still fairly uniform. Excellent.


The little bay is great, but the ship in it is masterful. So few pieces for such an excellent ship. The use of the binoculars reminds me of one of my minifigs here.


What are the decorated tiles in the center of that pic?

This is so nicely designed, I have to ask:
did you design it on paper first?
