Awsome mocs! may personal favorite is the bluish one. I like the look of the yellow one a lot but as you said on your mocpages page, it doesn’t look right for a military craft. The black and red look ok, but I do not like the orange and white sherbert colors because it kind of clashed with the black on the guns.

I feel like you should make the barrels of the weapons longer and perhaps add some missle hard points for bigger missles.

I really like how you construct the engines on your craft and I think having the two hover pods on each side look really great.



Thanks! The sand blue one is my favorite, too. I’m experimenting with using black for the guns on the Shuriken and Pinpoint to set them apart as as separate piece of external equipment distinct from the airframe. I added color-keyed accents with the Shuriken to try to tie them in a little bit. Believe it or not, the black bothers me a little more on the yellow one than the orange/white one.

I know what you mean about lengthening the barrels. I originally used standard length technic pins but switched to the doubles to get more length. I was going for a look like a Heckler and Koch USP handgun with the tactical flashlight mounted under the barrel--blocky, functional and deadly. Then again, that might not fit with all the angles, fins and cylinders I used on the rest of the MOC. Like I said, the guns were a problem for me.

I don’t think I can find any space for bigger missiles, but after reading your comment I realized I might be able to cram on some “gravity munitions” (bombs). Thanks for the feedback!
