The Siberia is a wealth and wonder of SNOT work.  I echo Peter's comments
that it's difficult to tell how and where pieces come together.  There's
some very clever layering and detailing.  I especially like how you added
another 1x8 plate on the outside edge of the Classic Space wing just behind
the cockpit.  I was wondering how you got the slopes to attach to that angle
until I figured it out.  I love the angled cockpit!  There's just studs
goin' in all directions!

The Endeavor is also very groovy.  I love the notion of "Space Pirates" and
I think that you captured the high-tech/low-tech combo very well.  The tan
radar dishes as sails are a wonderful example of this.

My only suggestion for future MOC's would be to get yourself a tripod.
Photographing Lego is almost (or possibly more!) challenging than building
with it.  However, you can eliminate a LOT of fuzzy pictures by making sure
the camera is always firmly stabilized.  I'm still learning how to take good
pictures, and I've had my website up for several years!  I usually devote an
entire afternoon or sometimes an entire day for pictures, since I often end
up using less than half of the first batch of shots.  Just like a good MOC,
you can't rush a good picture!

My only criticism would be to make sure you shrink down all your photos.
The last one of the Siberia is HUGE.  On the other hand, it did help me to
figure out how you did some of the SNOT work, so that's cool.   :-)

Keep 'em comin'!

(...) Thanks for the comments! The SNOT on Siberia just came together from the engine and forward, though it was a little tricky with the internal structure, but that worked out well in the end. The hull's SNOT was pretty fun to do but totally (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.space)

  A little introduction and two MOCs
 
I've been lurking around lugnet (and especially .space) for quite some time now, and I think I better delurk and introduce myself. My name is Joel Larsson, and I live in Sweden. I have the curious and absurd obsession I assume you are all pretty (...) (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.space)
