Wow! Talk about feedback!

Zac, first off this is a cool moc. I like the stubby(in a good way),
powerfull looking hull design, and the profile in general.
Things I liked:
1. The engines: although they would have looked slightly better if you used
all trans-orange cylinders instead of 1/2 bricks. Love the fact that they
can rotate, like the ship in 2010 and other films.
|
Lets see, well the trans-orange bricks in the engines are only used because I
didn’t have enough round ones and didn’t really have the urge to acquire any
more. Actually, inspiration from this ship came from the space trucks of Cowboy
Bebop.
| |
2. The cockpit: I dig the
way it rides high, and the interior greeblage. The crash-area(rest,not
impact) really brings out that kind of space-trucker image you are going for.
All you need is a truck-stop Annie to service the pilot. 3. The asymmetrical
blue stiping on one side. You have to love asymmetry.
|
The asymmetry was in fact accidental. I never really took much notice of it - it
was caused more by parts contstraints than anything else.
| |
4. The sensor array
under the nose. Usually I’m not a fan of alot of trans-colored pieces, but
this looks cool, and in-place with the rest of the moc.
|
I know what you mean about trans pieces. I fint that they have to be placed very
precisely to not ruin the colour aesthetic of the MOC. I’m still unsure about
the trans fluoro yellow on the masts and engines though.
| |
5. I may have missed
them, but I like the fact that there are no guns, and if they are, you avoid
the claims that run riot in .space. ie: “my turbo-lasers are so powerfull
that one blast can destroy an entire space colony”. Kudos to you for
restraint.
|
Hehe to tell the truth I actually got a bit bored with doing military space
models. That was all that I’d built for the last couple of years and it was
great to take a break and not have to design weapons systems. And I’m not
planning on doing any more military stuff for a little while yet.
| |
Things I disliked:
1. The cadillac-looking grill on the front. Don’t really dig chrome, and it
just doesn’t look on par with the rest of the greebles. However, it does go
with the whole trucker-thing.
|
I think that the only reason I made the front and side grilles chrome was to
actually use all of those grilles in a MOC. But I found that they do provide a
much more custom looking touch to the vessel.
| |
2. The airlock: the taps look too big, and
obtrusive. Also, they seem a little close to those intake things.
|
I know what you mean about the taps on the airlock. They were just one of those
parts that I couldn’t make a proper decision about what to do. And as you note,
they are actually rediculously close to the braking thrusters.
| |
3. ...
uh... that about it actually... The Peregrine is a rockin’ moc. Well done!

Thanks for the great feedback, Keith!
Keep on building,
