   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.

Looking good Lenny! Your best work so far. I like the overall shape, and the interior is nicely detailed. Oh, and are those modified Outer Rim nacalles I see? :)

I was wondering on how to do it, until I saw your nacelles and had a wave of trekkie nostalgia. they are inspired by outer rim nacelles, but structurally pretty different. a mix between your idea and paul hartzog’s cool engine thingie idea.

   Very nice work, though allow me to make a few suggestions.

1. The overall look of it is great, but it looks a little too flat. Some sort of gradual sloping up or large dish or something will help make the the top not look as flat. The ridge at the front is a good example of this.

i didn’t really get an idea of how flat it was until i took pictures from the side. now i can’t help but notice it. i dunno if i’ll change this.. definately not right now. need a break from this project. maybe i’ll keep this advice filed in the “next big project” file.

   2. The color scheme, while well chosen, is a bit too random. Try too keep the little solo bits of red pieces down. Basically, think this way:
*Main color scheme, fill the body up mostly with this one color
*Highlight color: add highlights like lines or ‘lumps’ in this color.
*Greeblie color- can be any of the above, or different. Fill in gaps and corners with greeblies of this color.

yeah yeah yeah. color, schmolor. think random coloring = technological craziness of a soviet style building scheme. they kinda threw things together, usually with somewhat dangerous results for the crew. i see the kal in that line.

  
I think these tips will help make the ship look a little more unified.

Keep it up!

thanks for the comments. criticism is more helpful than anything else, and while this ship ain’t perfect, i need to know a way to fix it up next time!
