I especially like the way the rear of the ship turned out. Perhaps the front of the cockpit could use a different treatment.

I like the way the wings are angled. Too bad you didn’t build it so that it could support its own weight *grin*

Well, if I had had more time, I would have reworked it to add strength. However, when 10:00 rolled around, I was more intent on finishing it than on worrying about structural integrity. In any case, that’s the only structurally weak point on the entire MOC. The individual wings and the cockpit survived plenty of falls as I was trying to attach them together.

Since it’s at your house, maybe you should try to fix it! :) Dan Jassim (on AIM) also recommended that a solid, brickier, connection (no struts) might unify the wings and cockpit better too. Wanna give it a shot?
