On to the MOC: I like it a whole lot. Great idea, and great execution. I
love the soldiers and the hatches they go through. A blown-apart view of the
soldier-mechs would be grand. The bridge reminds me that I need more
computer tiles and slopes.

Thanks!
I will do a blow-apart of one of the seraphim soon, I may just take the photo at
brickfest and upload it afterwards, though.

For as great as this MOC is, there are a few things that bother me: The
photography is very off-and-on. It seems that every other picture is blurry,
as if it was a practice shot. For my big MOCs, I often take pictures in 2 or
even 3 sessions, and pick out the best pics from all the sets, making sure
there is a good pic from each view.
|
That’s some good advice on the photography... this is my largest MOC to date
(aside from a sculpture, which is a lot different). I missed alot of details
through sloppy photography... I also probably should’ve taken it outside, as I
was unable to get as far away as I might have liked.

The angel bothers me too, and it seems other people feel the same way. The
wings are great, but the body leaves something to be desired. Upthread you
asked what specifically is bad about it, so here goes:
The head is very weird, I can’t tell which way it is looking. I suggest
looking at Miniland scale mocs for ideas, or Mike Crowley’s work (
http://eblockvillage.home.comcast.net/ )
It looks like the angel has blocky boobs. Not sure if this was intended, is
it a girl angel?
The legs are rather bland too, straight, nothing to them. The tubes in the
center look out of place. The transition from shoulders to wings leaves
something to be desired.
|
Heh, I didn’t realize they read as boobs, they were meant as pecs, because I
thought the chest was too flat... that’s the reason for the round bricks (abs)
too. He’s looking down, but the face looks pretty bad. I do appreciate the
criticism though.
| |
It would be sweet if he (she?) had arms with a sword.
|
I’d really like it to have arms with a sword too... I’d also really like facet
bricks in tan...
| |
Looking back, this looks so negative, but I like the MOC a whole lot, want to
see more in the genre!
|
I am about halfway done a temple/church/whatever moonbase module, and if a
bricklink order or two that I placed today come through in time, it will be done
for brickfest.
THanks for all your comments.
