why thank you, Paul.

but here are a few comments:
1) the light grey is great for greebs but not so good for plates on this ship
|
Yes, I know this. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have any 6x6 corner plates in
any color other than light grey. Perhaps a trip to bricklink might be in order.
An example of my lack of parts and the inconsistencies with my conceptual ideas.
| |
2) the engines are too small to be believable, and the amount of ‘engine’
inside the ship is negligible
|
do you mean the warp nacelles or the thrusters? If you mean the thrusters, do
you mean i should have added more ‘engine’ inside the ship, or more outside?
Also, any idea as how I could expand the engines to make them more believable?

3) the bottom sux :-). take a look at some PCS ships to see really great
bottom greebling, imho.
|
Ah come on! This is my first real attempt at a detail bottom. sure, it ain’t
so good, but “sux”? heck, it could have been just flat! surely that would have
been worse than what I did!
and I did study several of adm.gidden’s designs for detail underneiths, but
found he used some pieces that I didn’t have (in dark grey - only burnt orange)
and are only available in large sets. Also, the kalashnikov is a bit bigger
than any of the PCS ships, so that was a factor to add in. but like i said,
this was primarily a first step into the world below, so expect more and better
in the MOCs to come.
