So I just had to make a spacecraft with a turret! Of course, my so-called
‘destroyer’ with a crew of four is pitiful and small (it’s almost 90 studs
long), but what the heck, I had fun building it.
|
What can I say that Hasn’t been said, so I’ll summarize
Turret - Tick
Loved the look of this, though the angles may not be “realistic” for a
naval turret, this isn’t a navel turret, it’s a space turret. I have long
admired the way you build guns and turrets for your creations, they look so
cool and minimal. On a related note I thought the missile design was
clever too.
|
Thanks Travis!
| |
Boxy - Tick
I like the Boxy look, I’ve been trying to steer my own creations away from
boxy of late but this is an excellent example of how boxy can be used, and
used well.
|
Yeah, I’m not too big a fan of boxy spacecraft, but I guess sometimes you just
have to design them as such.
| |
Interiors - Tick
I like the interiors of the Vanguard, although from my standpoint a
military vessel should have one central cramped corridor running down the
length, but that is both my one personal view and a bit difficult in a MOC
that isn’t 20 studs wide. at 8 studs you’ve jammed a lot of detail. I
like the bunks and the, well I presume they are, drawers. Mind if I borrow
that idea?
|
Yeah, I kinda did mess up by making the lower sections only 8 studs wide.
However, I do prefer ships with multi-levels though.
BTW, the
bunks and drawers idea is quite old. Karim Nassar first used it on his
Series 9000
Runabout “Orion” Class. Feel free to use it, since I haven’t seen anyone else
use it, and Karim’s MOC is like 5 years old.

Colours - Tick
I have been impressed time and time again by your ability to use large
blocks of colours in such an interesting manner. I don’t know if this was
your aim but the shape and turrets gave a standard battleship look, but the
colours really complemented that well, reminded me a little of the Yamato
(or Argo) from Starblazers.
|
Thanks again, I guess subconsciously I was influenced by the Yamato colour
scheme.
| |
I built a ship in a similar colour scheme that was also boxy and I have
since scrapped it and redesigned, this has given me a few interesting ideas
of where to take it.
|
Great! It makes me happy when people are inspired off of others work. Good luck
with your spacecraft.
| |
Not much I can criticize in this MOC. The only thing I can think of is the
lack of greebling, but that would change what was so good about it.
|
I don’t like greebling a whole lot, to tell you the truth. However, I do think I
could squeeze a bit of it in if I tried.
