Hey Zac!

Okey Dokey first things first - this ship is absolutely beautiful. You have
really captured the lines of an industrial like military vessel and your
unique design style shows right through. As with JHK, I think that the radar
dish is one of the design highlights - it is just soo cool! But the engines
are also unique and provide an interesting aspect of the MOC. Also, I think
that the guns look great - they add to the militaristic utilitarian feel.

Wow! Thanks, glad you liked so much of it.

But contrary to what some have said, was quite disappointed with the
interior. If you look at all examples of interior spaces of vessels today
(ships, submarines, etc) you will notice that every bit of space is utilised.
And especially on a ship like that, I would imagine most of the systems to be
easily accessible on the inside. Your interior just seemed sparse - the seats
and beds and stuff were great but I felt that it needed more technical
systems. And I also think that interior floors need to be tiled to look the
best.

Ah, I get what you’re saying.
Yeah, I’ve often had the urge to put a lot of techy stuff into my work, like
engineering sections, accessible weapons bays, medical areas, and so on.
However, I often end up going with a cleaner, yes... sparse if you want to call
it, look because I want to maintain a certain colour scheme or design
continuity. For example, I couldn’t really add piping, monitors, etc., inside
the ship because I simply don’t have those parts in blue or tan.
As for the lack of tiled floors, well, I believe that’s just overkill. Also,
minifigs can’t be rigidly secured to them, so I feel functionality is
sacrificed. That’s just my opinion though.

Anyways, great work! It’s good to see you getting back in touch with your
SPACE side.

Thanks again! You brought up some issues that I enjoyed discussing.
Of course!

| (...) You can always partially tile the floor just leaving a few studs here and there to allow secure placing of figures. That way you get the best of both worlds. Cool ship by the way. Up to your usual high standard. I REALLY like the tan/blue/grey (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
