like how you didn’t try to clone the original exactly, but came up with a
neat design that is similar. Too many artwork-inspired ships suffer from
trying to force shapes that don’t work out that well in Lego.
The pictures
are a bit on the dark side, though. That makes some of the details hard to
pick out, and makes the colors hard to identify. Are you using a new
location for shooting?

Thanks for the comment Tony! I think weird is the second name of this MOC :o) I
wanted to make the air intake above the pilot, but even coming with several
designs, none of them was good looking enough. In the end I think the result is
ok like this.
It’s a big topic you’re raising, saying that MOCs can suffer from trying to be
as close as possible to the original artwork or design. Modeling is about this,
no? I remember Lenny saying the same about his Marvin bot: be inspired, but
don’t stick to the original model. I guess that’s what make us spacers, as
opposed to train people for instance.
No offense here, I am not trying to advocate one or the other, I think the 2
“philosophies” are as good as they get, and that’s what make this community so
rich. I guess modeling can be done 2 ways: o - etheir you want your MOC to be
as realistic and true as its original; o - or you want your MOC to carry a
concept, an idea. This is perhaps more about one’s perception - and I think this
is what space is about.
I moved 2 weeks ago, so I tryed for the first time a new photo set-up. I thought
light would be enough, but found out it is not. For the moment I have the
appartment, next time I’ll have the light!
Cheers,
JP.
