Wow!!! Way to go Adrian! I was blown away when I saw the initial pics from
Brickfest and I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official post from the builder.
As always, great presentation. This MOC just kicks a** in every posible way.
Not only is it epic in proportion, it is elegant in form and wonderful in
detail. I think the sculpted-brick style of building worked very well on this
MOC. Because of the sheer size, the overall form of the model looks very
smooth when viewed from the proper distance and as a whole. The circular tail
assembly is especially deceptive. Took me a little while to figure out how
you pulled it off. Very nice. And I really enjoyed pouring over the interior
details. I think the reactor room is my favorite, though I really dig the rec
room and the waste recycling room too. Overall-- an excellent job and
definitely one of the best.

Hey, high praise from another big ship builder! Always a pleasure.
As for the shape, it turned out that greebling the exterior of the Tribunal was
unneccessary. In fact, almost every attempt at greebling I tried just looked
tacked on exactly because of the sculptured shape of the ship. I finally just
broke down and justified the dramatic difference in design between her and
Chris Giddens’ Vanguard,
despite the fact that both ships live in the same timeframe, is that the
Tribunal has all her delicate machinery covered up with panelling because of her
mission profile keeping her away from maintenance areas for long periods of
time. The Vanguard can return to spaceport more easily and get that pesky hose
reattached.
Glad you enjoyed it, and I patiently await you building a 13 foot long carrier
of some sort to top it!
Adrian
