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

Yes, but a creative boxy. Boxyiness isn’t a no-no, but rather it is difficult to get right. A good builder can do it, but most can’t. I for one, can’t. But this shuttle is an excellent example of how it can be done right!

  
  • It’s black, although I hope you find the photographs clear enough

Black ain’t so much a no-no either, except that it is difficult to photograph, which calls the builder to be good at photography. Again, something I aint so good at, but you do more than good enough.

  
  • No cool new parts in clever usage. It’s all pretty basic stuff.

Again, I disagree that every new MOC has to use new parts creatively. New part use, and creative part use are always a plus - but not necessary. I think of myself as a decent builder and I never do a lot of new piece usage. Many times, I’d rather just see what I can do with the basic parts.

This is an amazing shuttle, and definately tons of fun. My favorite bit is the folding out doors on the side. bravo!

(URL) I deliberately built this incorporating several .space no-no's: It's boxy. I tried to (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
