Rick,
What a cool ship! I like the hint of familiar, but clearly your own design.
The overall form and function seem to fit flawlessly.

Thanks. :) I do have a style of my own, don’t I. ;-)
| |
And I’d disagree with the first two posters about gaps and tiling the sides.
I like the armored look that the studs give it. Besides, if there are no
studs and no gaps, you could just vacu-form it from poly-styrene and save a
bunch of money right? We build with LEGO bricks for a reason.
|
Never thought about it that way, the fact it does look armored because of those
facts. Nice thoughts on vacu-forming. :)
| |
What I DO think you could change if you chose was your number of neutral
colors. I really like the overall grey/red color scheme. And a few other
neutrals are ok. The white bits REALLY stand out though and seem disconnected
from the otherwise military EB look.
|
I wanted contrast, and black didn’t look right.while others prefer a two-tone
approach to ship building I always like 3. a light, a dark, and a medium when
possible.
| |
There are a couple of spots I noticed
where a thin line of black changes to dark grey or light grey. Perhaps this
is due to limited piece, and that’s a challenge I certainly still struggle
with at home. I’ve always found that color schemes work best with one or two
‘colors’, one shade of grey(including white), and black- especially if black
is inset or represents exposed functional components. But that’s just me.
|
Piece limitations. I ran out of black tiles between this and a couple other
projects.
| |
What you have is an excellent ship with a great line, especially the front
greebles and the bridge profile. You handle building a large ship well, and
are at least one up on me in that regard. Oh, and Classic Firemen torsos will
always be welcome in .space.
|
They look perfect as those soviet military coats. :)Thanks for feedback!
