Thanks. Up to now it is my favourite craft. I haven’t built all that many
space MOCs.
| |
The design of the engine (I didn’t even know that was a coffin, lol)
is excellent, though I think it could be improved if you used a backing other
than white below that transparent piece, or maybe not, it’s something you
could experiment with. Perhaps you could set the transparent piece a bit
inward, I think it would enhance the look of the engine.
|
Yeah, the white plate was/is a bit irritating, but as you wrote I was intending
to highlight the engine. I know many have used the light trans blue colour for
engines, I’ll take a closer look at some of their MOCs.
| |
The use of color is
good overall, but the overall scheme is too dark for my tastes. The missile
shroud would like nicer if it weren’t the only contrast color on the fighter.
|
When we at Byggepladen decided on the colour scheme for the Space Vikings we
went for Brown, Red, White and Smoked Glass. I know it is dark but brown and
black works best for me and yes the red missiles were designed for the colour
with a hint of white to keep with the colour scheme. :)
| |
Also, it looks a bit slapped on, and it’s difficult to tell that those domes
indeed are the tops of missiles (mainly because only the seeker heads are
showing, showing more of the missile body would make it more clear), I
thought that they were part of the body before I read your post. I’d try to
make the missile shrouds look look more integral.
|
The missiles are “slapped on” and I kind of know that they look it. :) I had
the thought that if they were easy to take on and off they could be replaced
with different ordnance pods. But I do think a more integral look would be
better.
| |
Overall, though, it’s a
very nice craft. I can’t wait to see your carrier.
|
The carrier is going to be fun and no doubt tricky for me! Thanks again Jordan
for your comments and suggestions.
