I looked over this ship - first off, it reminds me of some of Nathan Well’s
ships. Very unique shape, but, honestly, quite ugly. But this can be a good
thing. Some of my favorite MOCs have been quite ugly, including several of my
own. I think the main problem in your moc is the boxiness. A Box is the best
way for a LEGO spaceship to maximize internal area while minimizing brick usage
- but that route is dangerous.
For some inspiration, I’d recommend the works of:
Tim Deering
Dan Jassim
Jon Palmer
Mark Sandlin
JHKruer
Tim and JHK are especially good at getting good, interesting shapes without
using 15,000 pieces. Mark has quite a few spaceships of particularly
interesting design, including even out-right Boxy-weirdness
(The Gazelle), and Jon
and Dan are masters of color and especially how color affects the shape of your
spaceship.
to sum up-
this is a good start, and i’d love to see more!

The story behind the craft can be found on my MOCPages site.
I wanted to create a decent land vehicle to go with a spaceship, but I didn’t
want the ship to be too big. So I made it modular.
This was my second attempt at creating a ship for these guys. The first looked
like a brick vacuum with jets, so I destroyed it in disgust.

| (...) I have to disagree here. In my experiece, unique shapes actually require fewer bricks but use more plates and elements. Unless you were talking about total peice count? (21 years ago, 1-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
