Well, it is somewhat Bisonesque as you indicate, but it does stand on its

Heh. I like the way your mind works. It wasn’t it my mind at the time, but I can
see all those influences there now.

The contrast of the panel colour with the rest of the ship
articulates the design very well. It’s well greebled with a clear sense of
greebles where they should be and not where they shouldn’t. There is the
sense that the black panels could slide together (I know they couldn’t as
built) or there used to be more, which echos
Bram’s F-38 Impulse in a way.

Thanks.

It’s great to see a cockpit crammed full of computers and an engine room
crammed with black hoses and such. All in all, a very well thought out and
well executed MOC. I do wonder if it is compatible with the container
standard currently under discussion...but that’s just an idle thought.
|
It did occur to me, but they’re far to
big to fit through the doors. The 6x4 pallets fit nicely. They’re the sort of
thing that might go inside a standard container though.
| |
Those black walls are of course crying out for some ‘paint’ ;-) I don’t
really see how it fits the P-38 theme though... ;-P
|
Keep looking. You’ll see it eventually.
Thanks for the feedback.
