I just finished the second, and I hope much improved version of my lobster --
as well as Blade Runner and ATOC -- inspired space craft. The ship is macro
fig scale, with fully functioning landing gear, detailed cockpit, and
engines, as well as many other little details that I will attempt to capture
on camera soon. If anyone has any advice on how to improve this, please let
me know.

About posting, it seems that you didn’t went deep enough for the adress of the
picture: Click on it until the adress ends with the name of the picture - that’s
the correct adress.
Regarding the MOC, I think that you’ve done really well: I haven’t really seen
any other macrofig-models before that didn’t look like somethin out of Gullivers
Travels, and conecting those two types of windshields is really cool.
But I don’t think the engines are big enough for the model, perhaps you could
double them; it seems like there’s enough room to add two side by side at each
side. (or use something bigger) By the way: where did you get those flaglike
things on top of the engines?
I also think you should fill up the gaps behind the cockpit with some of the
small wingtypes (2x3 or 2x4)
Since I don’t quite know what you aimed at building, the following suggestions
might not be relevant to you: I’d vary the surfaces a bit to make them more
interesting to look at, (like shrinking the central blue part by one plate) and
maby use some more dark grey around, for instance the guns.
You might also
consider changing some of the tiles into greeble, for instance it could be cool
with some serious greeble on the inside of the arms, but less would do. (like a
little more grilles around)
