i have to say that i agree with everyone above, this is literally _the_
coolest ship i have seen yet, although it would be nice to have a smoother
top to the main white body, i question the purpose and placement of the
white hatches on the sides of the cockpit, and the warp nacelle thingies on
the side is seen too often IMO (although yours is very nicley done, with the
2x2 curved bottom pieces breaking up the usually flat surfaces), but
everything else more than makes up for it. i especially dig the forward
thruster pod, its utilitarian and lends a lot to the realism of the ship,
and of course the cockpit and its placement. i like the forward landing
gear too, as well as the read hatch. nice use of the 2x4 grey wheel cover
plates on the top surface, too. i also agree with the coments about concept
sketches. i have an inexplainable fetish for concept art, so yours was a
treat.i look forward to the graphic novel. sorry for all the criticism, but
seriously, its absolutly astonishing work!

| Hiyas, (URL) is a ship I have had in my head in some form or another for along time, and I was able to build it this weekend finally after getting a couple parts necessary to do it the way I wanted to. I also have some sketches numbered sequentially (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.space) !
