Pretty. I’m digging this one, Ryan. As a minifig bomber, or a microfig frigate/carrier, this one looks awesome. I like the ambiguity that you and Keith have going with the scales.

Anyways, the big gaping maw around the engines is really nice, coupled with the schweet dino tails on the sides. That makes for an awesome angle/curve combination right thar. Not so sure how I like the green “striping”...on one hand, it gives it a really industrial look, but on the other, I think it kind of breaks up the shape too much. Eh.

Awesome job dude.

Hey thanks, Chris! I’m not particularly satisfied with the cockpit, as I forced myself to step away from my usual practical designs and took a stab at moc(k)ing Keith’s cockpit in the Lo Pan. And the dino tails are teh winz. I will never make a JE moc without them.

As for the coloring...this was originally going to be the “Iron Tiger” due to the striping I used, but I changed the name when I began establishing the purpose of the craft. I see exactly what you’re saying about how it conflicts with the body of the craft (and the grey vrs dark grey coloring). But because I was going for the exact industrial look you bring up, I’m happy with it.

   Btw, off topic: I see the x’s on your BS username...you straightedge, or have no clue what I’m talking about? :-)

Technically, I am edge, but I don’t really walk around advertising it (with the x’s and so forth.) The x’s on my name are purely decorative borders for the “lights” portion.
