Comrades,
The Office of the Jr.Marshal is pleased to announce the completion of its
latest and greatest project: The Long-Range Interstellar Strategic Warship,
the Kalashnikov.

Not too shabby at all. I was concerned that the colour scheme might not work
whilst looking at the progress pictures, but while it is fairly jumbled, it
works. It adds to the greebling effect I think.

Yeah, color was something that I decided to wait until the end to work on,
relying on adding colored tiles and plates to the exterior. I imagine this as
an early type of long range ship, so paint was added generally along a ‘spine’,
except where greebling needed to show through. I think that’s why the jumbled
look works, because it is essentially jumbled along a line that follows up the
back.

You’ve taken the angled wall idea you’ve used previously and refined it to a
high degree. I think it’s the extra greebling on the sides of the angled
sections that does it.
|
thanks. for some reason, i really like working with angled walls. I guess,
following the ISD construction, it is a good way to have both smooth and
greebled areas that compliment each other.

The escape pods are great, but is there room for four in each one?
|
heh. well, given sitting on each other’s laps, feet in faces, etc, I’m sure
there is. I think it works on the same principle that allow thirteen of my
closest friends to all drive to the movie theatre in my small car. if there’s a
will ... and if your spaceship is exploding, im sure there’s a will.
