This moc came from a desire to merge Keith’s Lo Pan with my Jiao-zhan

this idea off much better.

I think you accomplished some good merging there, Ryan.
The stripes do make it look fat, though. Especially next to the rather anorexic
(ahem, I mean ‘shapely’) Lo Pan. Of course your ship is ‘pregnant’ with its
‘spawn’, so I know it’s not just ‘the dress’ that’s responsible. I’m just
telling you this ‘as a friend’, okay? So, please don’t bring a ‘delivery’ around
here...
(Um, quick, distract him with some praise.) I like the woven feel of the various
slopes and the way the hoses and greebles are protected by the ‘cladding’. It
has a solid ‘armoured’ feel to it, like it could take a few hits without spewing
‘coolant’ all over the place.
I also like the detachable cockpit/sarcophagus(1) seen in
this pic where it looks
like a cow skull. (East meets TechWest?) I can just see a desert littered with
these. Not like a crustacean at all, but wait...
I don’t know what it is about JE that leads to these aquatic impressions, but in
this pic it looks a bit
like a fish with two dorsal fins and a ‘Pac-man-esque’ mouth. No, really; take a
step back and squint a little. Maybe I should go easy on the sushi...
The only thing that gets to me, (and it’s not just this ship) is those 4x cones
used as engines. They just have an unfinished look to them. I’ve used them
myself and didn’t like the look much. Not sure what to do about them... Back to
the lab...
Anyway, it’s a great build, keep impressing us. And keep showing us the ‘in
progress’ pics too.
Peace and ‘quotes’,
Professor Whateverly
(1) Well, the pilot does appear to be ‘entombed’. It’s like they don’t expect to
open the canopy again...
