Hey Rick,
Im glad you like this ship. Now I actually see that it does follow some of the
same ideas seen in your creations.
|
Hull: Very nice, with the subtle snot technique, I like the fact you used
those 1x2 hinge thingers. Very nicely done. the checkered effect is quite
nice and gives a good contrast to the rest of the hull. If i wasnt so far
into my ship, I would mimic it. The ships shape makes it look slow, but the
corvette means it can be quite fast too. I would suggest some sort of
directional thruster packs or something for Y/P/R manuvering.
|
The checkered strip is just something I picked up from looking at all those
WWII/Crimson Skies planes on brickshelf.
As for vernier (directional) thrusters:
You can actually see the spots where I had planned to place them. I actually had
a pair on the day before, but took them off because they cluttered things up too
much. Basically, I omitted them because of aesthetic reasons, which might sound
silly to some people. :-(
|
Engines: quite nice. exactly what i have thought before for an engine to a
small corvette or gunship. Greeb on housing is subtle and minimal, and makes
it look outstanding.
|
Yeah, all of my last big ships, the Avenger & Vanguard-class, have had engines
(more specifically, the part from which the actually exhaust comes out) that are
built in two identical halves and then connected together. I think I picked this
up from one of Paul Baulchs earlier creations and have been using it ever
since. I just love how the engines are the same on the bottom as they are on the
top.
|
Arrays: Forward: very nice assortment of large and small greeb. nice color
sectioning. Underside: Nicely done, very minimal and i love the way the
torpedoes are strapped on, literally. I also like how the missile packs were
strapped on to a fashion. The turret itself looks nice, except your rail guns
look more like conventional slug throwers from a modern day navy ship.
|
Yeah, the weapons originally should have been mounted on racks or something, but
I gave that idea up.
As for the guns, yeah they do look a bit too conventional.
|
Interior: nicely done, I love the snot to keep the decks on tight. the Shower
is going in my Idea folder for later use. ;) I suggest putting something
between the two crew members, perhaps some sort of battlefield layout
console.
|
Heh, go ahead, I think Im just putting together ideas other people have used a
long time ago.
|
All in all, a very fine ship from a very fine builder. KUTGW.
|
Thank you Rick. Happy building. :-)
