I am surprised nobody replied to your post earlier Sylvi.

Yes, I was a tiny bit disappointed, too...

That's quite a
collection of MOCs, what a way to start / introduce a new faction, or
sub-faction if prefered!

Thanks!

About the faction itself: I like the back-story you brought along. It's nice
to see you're able to bring some of your national colours, and give it a
personality. I like the color scheme, white for hules, dark grey for engines,
and these wonderfull orange hilights. The red details seen on some of the
ships are great IMO, good idea to use 2 colors for different kind of details
you wish to hilight.

I think the whole group of ship has good ressemblance. I can see some engine
similarities, as well as a unity around the 3 wings design. And the colour
scheme of course. Not so PCS maybe, but some others will comment on that I am
sure.

Yes, I wentfor a true PCS-look with some orange thrown in, but that just didn't
work...

About the MOCs:
- The Queen Beatrix Class Transport is my favorite. I love the heavy feel,
the use of these big white cynlinder quaters. Very convincing shape given to
a freighter! White cap as engine = great work!

- The Orange Pod: PODs are always nice it seems! This one has some character,
  I like the shape of the nose, lower part.

- The Wilhelmina Class Gunship - what a strange ship ~ I still don't know if
  I like it or not... Truly unique canopy. I think it would look sleeker if
  you could make the dorsal fin only one brick thick.

I'll try sometimes, thanks!

- The Snowmoon Class Gunship: I like its back section, the engines,nice use
  of the R2 heads. But the canopy looks too big IMO, not sleek enough to
  match the rest of the ship. Sleeker and it would become a fighter, you'll
  reply...

I wasn't going to say that, not really, but I just couldn't get any other canopy
to fit with the general curvature of the ship. I plan on redoing it with the
Imperial Shuttle canopy, though.

- The Snowmoon Class Escort Fighter is a nice lighter one! Did you try to
  play with something else than the wheels as front engine parts? I find them
  coming too close to the front of the ship.

- Yay for the Bluestreak Tactical Command Ship! That's a very beautifull one!
  Not so sure about the blue, maybe a lighter one (sand blue?) would suit
  better, it would contrast less witht the orange, which is already a
  powerfull color.

I may have enough dark blue to try redoing it.

Overall and once again, way to introduce a new faction! I remember seeing
some of the ships showing up on BS, but the whole family is really
impressive. Thanks for sharing!

And thank youfor your kind reply and the advice! Love, Sylvi


JP.
