JHK you are the greatest, dude!
The exterior is absolutely superb, and as others have noted, the grilles in
the engines are perfect. The interior is great - as I have said before you
can’t beat a tiled floor! Your greebs are great but I fount that the
port-forward interior greebs were a bit ‘functionless’ - they didn’t seem to
flow with the aesthetic of the rest of the ship (unless that was what you
were going for).

Yeah... well, I just thought I needed to put a powerplant-thing somewhere,
so I just put a few things there. And I was planning to put in a bit int he
description about Pete’s old car radiater, which you can see on the
front-port interior, but I forget.

Also, the copious use of 1x1 clip tiles on the exterior seemed a bit too
much - was it because of a complete shortage of 1x1 lt grey tiles?
|
Exactly. :) I belive I had exactly one available for this project.
| |
And as a last nitpick, the canopy seemed a bit on the black side. Maybe it’s
just that I’m not used to opaque canopies, but it didn’t seem to flow with
the design.
|
Its the only canopy of that type I have, I couldn’t figure out any other
cockpit to use and still keep the shape. Anyway, I kind of like the idea of
a projected canopy.
| |
Anyways great work. You have raised the bar so I hope you can keep producing
stuff like this ;)
Keep on building!

Thanks! What are you working on, Zac? I love your stuff.

Me? I’m in the middle of a space ‘bus’ heavily inspired from the Ken-Tucky Works
Stardock Omnibus. I’m on holidays at my parents’ house at the moment so all I
can do is mentally plan the rest of it - it was about 60% done when I left and I
need to work out an engine design with the small number of partsd left. And I
could probably safely say that this is my largest model yet!
I’ll get you some preview pics when I get home :)
Keep on building!
