First off, these are some great little guys you’ve got there Dan.
I’ll start with my favorite, the Rapier. This fighter has a very GDI Orca-esque
from Westwood’s Command and Conquer series. However, the Rapier has managed to
distinguish itself from the Orca quite well. I love the guns, nothing like 8
barrel-fulls of molten lead to tear someone apart. However, I have some
questions. Are the tail-mounted rotating sections with the landing gear mounted
on them also engines? Are the 2 2x2x2 gray barrels on the bottom also engines?
If so, does this thing have a total of 6 engines? Apparently the Inquisition has
a need for speed. I don’t know if it would be possible but if you could maybe
add a similar wing effect to the Rapier’s primary engines as the Sword of
Michael it would look even cooler, in my opinion. Overall a very impressive MOC.
The Inquisition will definately bring the Light as well as an overwhelming
feeling of terror at the sight of these bad boys.
On a side note, I love vehicles with Vectored Thrust engines as the primary
means of navigation. I have 2 MOCs that I hope to be releasing soon that feature
vectored thrust engines.
Now the Paladin. The Paladin has the whole Armored Knight thing going for it but
it lacks any religious symbols. I’ve never seen a Paladin without some sort of
crucifix somewhere. Beyond that little nitpick, this MOC is very well made.
However, I wonder if you could possibly bring in the chest a bit as it gives the
Paladin an “I’ve been to many victory feasts look.” Maybe you could lengthen or
bulk up the legs to bring it more in proportion with the slightly larger torso.
As with the Rapier, I do like the gun. I wish I had some of those 8-holed gears
to work with but sadly I am financially constrained and piece constrained.
Something else that I thought might add to the MOC is something from the movie
Equilibrium. In it, the clergy had helmets that opened into Capital T’s that
would look perfect on your Paladin’s head.
Once again, these are some great MOCs. I enjoy the new Galactic Inquisition
subtheme and all the MOCs you’ve made within it.

| (...) Dude, who doesn't have a need for speed? And thanks. (...) The torso of this thing just sort of grew and grew as I built it, it's a bit excessive, I agree.

| Ok, so if you were at Brickfest, neither of these is new. What we have here are a medium assault mech and an attack fighter for the Galactic Inqusition. Each of these took about a day to build, and got put together just before Brickfest, to make the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce, FTX) !!
