Hi all,
Well, as promised I’ve finally got around to finishing and photographing my
latest moc.
It’s a small freighter used primarily on the Earth/Moon run.

Wow. Your modelling here is really top-notch. Wonderful attention to detail,
like the way you put the windows on their sides to make them less tall, and the
way you lined the passage walls with stuff. I love it!

- It’s boxy. I tried to make it a reasonably cool box though.

It’s definitely not boxy in the infamous sense, i.e. straight walls on the sides
connecting directly to straight plates on top. The engreebled crevice motif from
the Bison works even better here IMO, with the overhanging outer “painted” hull
to emphasise the “innards” look.
I have two minor gripes, though - firstly, the landing gear is way too small and
thin. I think that even the Bison’s fixed stubby 2-wide stanchion legs work
better than these (although a short retracting Technic solution would be ideal).
Secondly, the engines seem a bit small and under-modelled compared to the rest
of the craft. Beefier engines would be nice (preferably avoiding space wheels?).
Cheers,
