I had to finish off a GBC module, but some unrelated pieces fell in my
hands and said to me “hey, we’d make a nice boat hull”... and so I ended up
doing this instead:
I hadn’t done anything remotely space-y since my youth, so this was quite
refreshing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I declare that to be officially neat-o.

Who died and made you the official arbiter elegantiarum of neat-0, Dave!? ;-)

Not that it’s any of your business, but that’s an hereditary title handed down

I’m particularly fond of the use of
the windscreens to create the canopy. Also, we don’t often see single-color
space MOC’s, so it’s nice when they make an appearance.
The Red Herring is a compact, clean design. Good use of unusual elements,
and I’m always favorably disposed to smaller spacecraft MOCs. Nice
whooshability, and it even has a sort of retro-ish 1950’s rocketship feel to
it.

I agree. I particularily enjoy attempts to revive the retro look, and the
Red Herring does so very nicely. And I can see that boat hull influence--
reminds me of my favorite car, Chitty:-)

I thought immediately of Paul Hanson’s Pathfinder, posted here so long ago. I’ve never built anything in that style,
but I find it really appealing.
Dave!
