I want to see you building some civilian MOCs now, Mladen...

I would love to... But, sobs, I don’t know how to build stuff without
guns & missiles... I’m so embarrassed. :-(
|
Hey Mladen,
Actually, when I look at this ship, I don’t see warship. If you removed the
guns and missiles, and replaced them with telescopes and radar dishes, you’d
have a very interesting looking science vessel.
|
Yeah, you’re right Lenny. I think the general shape lends itself better to
non-military roles.
| |
I’m very intrigued by how you achieved the studless look by using large-scale
snot. I’d been playing with some ideas on how to do this in my head, and
you’ve gone and perfected the concept. Perhaps I may steal the idea in a
future moc. I really like how you did the floors so that they are removable.
Another attributes that I may have to steal for a future MOC.

Oh, it’s pretty simple. The whole ship is built sideways, save for the engines.
You just connect the two together and bam... you got a nice combo.
Then you just proceed to adding details on the outside. I think the key is to
make a clean “base” model, and then add stuff on to it.
| |
Like JHK said, the shape is so odd and unonventional, that it takes a moment
to really figure out. Actually, I like it better upside down rather than
right side up. It seems more militaristic that way, too. If you added a
turret or something else on the top (per Mark’s suggestion), it would prolly
help too.
|
Yeah, when I was photographing it upside down I noticed it looked more
aggressive. The problem is that the sides kept wanting to fall down; I didn’t
make any locking system for them. :-(
As for the turret on top, it wouldn’t have allowed the sides to open up fully.
That said, on a larger model, all of these problems could have been corrected.
| |
Otherwise, it is very nice and innovative use of pieces.
|
Thank you once again!
