Tony,
I really like this ship... its refreshing to see a moc using mostly “old
school” building techniques & pieces. I like the idea of doing
retro-nostalgia inspired MOCs. I think it would be fun to do modern
interpretations of the classic spaceships (918, 924, 928) that retain the
basic form and function of the original designs while using some modern
piece types, colors and building techniques. Maybe that could be an idea
for a new building contest.

Sounds cool, but we don’t need no stinkin’ contest! Just build one!

My only real nit is that a lighter colored canopy would probably have worked
better with the lt/dk gray color schemes. To bad both of those pieces are
not available in trans-clear or trans-lt-blue.
|
Yes, I agree. I have the extension in Clear Beer, but no canopy for it (keeping
the original color scheme would have been great). The only other color
combination I have of those two pieces is trans neon peach (aka “orange”), but
that color is just nasty. It would have made sense to use a different base
color scheme to go with the dark canopy, but I was limited by the colors I had
of the front wing piece and it seems like every white slope I have is tied up in
other MOCs.

I really like you landing skid implementation. I think they look pretty
cool fixed in the “extended” position. Not sure if I like the thruster for
this particular application though (though I like the design of the
thruster in and of itself). The “complex” nature of the thruster seems to
clash a bit with the relatively simple lines of the rest of the design.
|
Jean-Pascal Rignault uses that landing gear design all the time, and it is
really growing on me. The thruster, though... yeah I can see that.
Thanks for the comments, and have a great Christmas!
