First off, I hope all you .spacers out there enjoyed your weekends, and I
wish you have a productive week.
This has been a busy weekend for me. On Friday afternoon I kicked myself out
of my post-PDX funk and set myself a goal: build at least two entries for
the P-38 contest.
Here’s the first product of a weekend of work, what I envision a Cylon P-38
Lightning would look like:

Ryan,
Very cool ship. I really like the dark blue on light grey color scheme. I
think that really sets off your design. The shape of the wings really evokes
the cylon raider feel. I also like the look of the embedded starwars engine
pieces in the wings. You really managed to create a smoothly flowing shape
using the wedge & slope pieces.
Since I’m also a BG fan, I really like to see “expanded universe” creations.
This looks like a really neat pre-quel-esque cylon design or a small cylon scout
fighter/interceptor since the raider is more of an attack craft.
The only things I would criticize is the landing gear seemed a bit taked on and
I would have made the horizontal tail planes a little smaller. Otherwise, a
really great MOC. I also agree that the canopy kinda takes away from the cylon
look. Unfortunately, there is not a good lego canopy that approximates the
“stepped-louvered” look of a cylon raider. The only thing that I can think of
is to try to build a canopy using black plates & tiles, but it would endup being
opaque.
Great idea, great MOC,
drc

| (...) Douglas, thanks a bunch for your comments. It's funny, this ship is. I've never seen an episode of Battlestar Galactica in my life. All I had to go on was the Lego works I could find on Brickshelf. :) The landing gear was one of the last bits (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
