   Hello, all. I’ve finally got to posting some new MOCs. Although my new website is still in progress, so I’m starting a new stuff page.

Just click on the directory for each MOC.

The biggest one, the white ship, I’m not totally happy with. Maybe its up for a redesign? Plus, it began raining, so I had to use artificial light. Thus the ugly gray tinge to everything in that MOC. Sorry.

This is my favourite of the group. There’s not very much wrong with this that I can see. You’ve got just the right mix of smooth vs greebling to my eye.

I like the open interior. Lot’s of techy looking stuff scattered about, and a neat little buggy as well, although if it were me I’d have made a separate vehicle bay.

Yeah, I’ve always liked the buggy. I had intended for the back to be a vehicle bay, but the narrow airlock and small size made me turn it into an engine-room/living quarters.
  
Also where does he sleep? Or is this the bed? Ouch :)

HEY! That’s patented Airy-O-Sleep, young man! :)


  
It looks like the technology has advanced a bit from Chris’ models, what with the warp nacelles (?) rather than traditional thrusters. This probably pushes it out of the PCS timeline, but it’s cool nonetheless. (Is every ship with a paradisa window necessarily a PCS model anyway? I don’t think so)

As I said earlier, I didn’t really have a PCS MOC in mind. Its just that I liked the cockpit idea, had lots of gray and white laying around, and really wanted to use the Star Trekky nacelles.

  
The only other thing I’d add is a bit more detailing in the cockpit behind the pilot. It seems a little bare to me.

MMm, yeah, I guess your right. That area I did in about 5 minutes, literally just before I took pictures.

  
The Marsbase is ok I guess, although I tend to think of this kind of microscale building more as a prototype for a minifig scale model. The hollow hill is a nice touch though.

Lets see YOU make that marsbase! And that hollwed hill... Promotion to you if you do! :)
  
The Timcraft is sweet. I like the angled cockpit very much, but how does he reach the steering wheel? It’s a shame you couldn’t fit his signature cap in there as well.

I didn’t try puttign the cap on... I twas to lazy to find it. But I think it can fit. He can sort of reach the wheel if he really stretches foward, but it looks better with him sitting straight up. Anyway, he doesn’t care. Wouldn’t know how to use it, anyway. :)
  
Could the vintage spacers out there please explain this prejudice againt poor Timmy? I’ve never understood it.



Neither have I... that’s why I used him!
  
  
PLMKWYT! And don’t be afraid to criticize.

I’m gonna be leaving for a music camp this Friday, so try to answer ASAP. Otherwise, I won’t be able to reply to your feedback. I don’t know if I can access email correctly there. I won’t get back for a month, so I’m going to miss you guys. :(

Have a good time, but stay away from those flautist girls young man. They’ll only get you in trouble.

Ah, no chance, no chance. I’m too young for them. In a few years... :)

In other news, you can get full control over a computer here, which includes logging on to LUGNET. Oh yeah.
