First of all, being a Christian, I do object to the design.

Why? I don’t object to people wearing a crucifix as jewellry, how is this

Your answer might possibly need to veer off into off-topic.debate,

Debates take too long. I’d like to leave it here

However, as a
critique of the model, the structure is not very interesting. Your method
of building requires virtually no SNOT at all.
|
Is one supposed to use SNOT merely for its own sake? I think not. I think
SNOT ought to be a technique in one’s design arsenal that is used to realise
a shape desired, or to achieve a desired effect. NOT something that has to be
used whenever possible whether appropriate or not.
|
I have nothing against people not using SNOT, and on second thoughts, this model
did use it anyway. I guess I meant to point at the fact that this model has a
bit of a boring design.
| |
In fact I think this raises a larger question, can something be cool if built
without all the latest “cool techniques”? I think the answer is yes...
|
Absolutely.

Most of it is in standard studs
up configuration
|
Which, given the shape of the ship, makes perfect sense, don’t you agree?
|
Fair enough. However, maybe the shape of the ship should be changed if the
methods used create a boring design.
| |
| |
and, well, I like SNOT. The greebling isn’t very
interesting
|
Which, given the shape of the ship, makes perfect sense, don’t you agree?
| |
and all in all it is a bit of boring ship to look at.
|
That might have been the point, who can say.
|
But anyone can make a boring ship. If it was meant to be boring and
uninteresting, why post it?
| |
Personally, I found it a design worthy of a chuckle or two, one that pushed
the envelope of what we’ve seen in ship shape. I’m not sure it is a
masterpiece, per se but does every new ship have to be better in each and
every way? Isn’t it OK to have something cool that isn’t the coolest ever?
|
Yes, but this wasn’t particularly good on any measure. I never said every ship
had to be cooler than the one before. If that was the case, there would be very
few models on LUGNET.
