I dunno what’s with all my new racers lately, I’m not particularly fond of
defenseless ships, but hey, they look really cool. And we all love big,
powerful engines. Much of this was a study in greebling and SNOT
techniques, and I think it turned out all right. Tell me what you think!

Hey Chris!
I like this alot. Its got a great shape, and you’ve shown good use of
complex building techniques.
|
Thanks, I’ve been practicing a lot lately with small, individual sections of
Legos. That’s just as much fun as regular building.
| |
But I think with a bit of modification, it could change from a “good” moc to
a “great” one.
I like the blue & gray, with a hint of sand blue color scheme, but I feel it
needs some unification in the nose/front section. Perhaps if you grouped the
blue together, a district strip or styling could arise. At the moment, the
switch between gray and blue seems almost random along the side of the nose.
|
I was thinking the same thing. I think it has something to do with the
availability of parts, but I’ll see what I can do.
| |
I really like the front of the engines, but it gets weak towards the back.
The wheels seem tacked on, there appears to be no flow between the nicely
sculpted front and the wheel in the back. If I may be so bold, I suggest
looking here,
perhaps something there might spark your imagination.
|
Wow. Just wow, that is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Thanks for
sharing!
| |
Finally, it seems you built a great top and sides, but then forgot about the
bottom. In space, there is no up and down ;) If you sculpt the bottom as
much as the top, this craft could be killer. Also, those robot bodies come
in darkgray, it might look better than tan. Although, come to think of it,
if you integrated more tan into the craft, blue, gray, and tan might look
quite well together.
|
It seemed to me that since it doesn’t really need weapons or anything, the
bottom could just be smooth, but it would look cool with a few details, wouldn’t
it? Admiral Gidden’s SMAC had a really cool bottom, maybe I should look at that
a bit. As for the gear, I don’t have any dark gray droid bodies, or any other
tan parts for that matter. Its a matter of being on a teenage budget :) (or the
lack of any budget!).

Anyway, a fine craft. I hope my little tidbits of advice helped.

The advice was a big help! Thanks a bunch!
