Yeah it I've been bulking it up quite a bit since I finished the over all
shape and even now it still looks a bit lanky. I found it quite a challenge
to get all the proportions just right at this scale. Thanks for the nod to
building quality. I had a blast layering some of the plates and getting
certain slopes just where I wanted them. As for speed in my imagination this
ship would be terrifyingly fast AND maneuverable, being able ot turn on a
dime. So yes I believe it would be able to just dodge many attacks. As for
shields I actually didn't think of that but it's supposed to have an
advanced detection and avoidence system. I imagine it just sort of snapping
to the left or right sometimes to avoid small fire.

Thanks again. I'm surprised that using the brown again on a model would look
ok with the red but it seemed to work. As dor the grey I just thought it
would look good too and so I made up a little story for why I put it on. : )
