"Hangar 47 is pretty busy today. The experimental fighter OF-178x, also named Hawk, is preparing for its inaugural flight. I'll will be piloting it, and even if I trust the team, I'm still a bit concerned about the new ionic engines."

LDD file for the hawk is available on my website.

Wow, so much to like here! Let me get my one critique out of the way: the shot with the woman by the computer monitors certainly makes it seem like those controls are too low.

I like the smoothness of everything, something that you always do a great job on. The ship has some very nice shaping and the more you take a look at it there are small details that are just fantastic. Plus the little rolling stairs next to it is compact and well done. Really like the robot and the clamps for the ship too. Overall another very well done MOC with plenty of little details to keep you looking!

Like so many of your builds, this fits the theme perfectly!

The hardsuit is probably my favourite part, but it's hard to choose just one. Nice work.

Thanks

I've added the pictures of the Hawk.

I love the functional folding landing gear. The hawk has some really nice shaping overall. I like you partially brick built robot assistant.

Literally toss my bricks up in the air and go "nope, can't even compare to it".

Awesome build, great details and use of parts. I am in awe.

Like I said on flickr, this is a beauty! I especially like the retractable landing gear!

Some of us need too much time, energy and SKILL to raise up as high as your Hawk will!!! So many perfect details.

Amazing! I really like the wheeled ladder!

The judges awarded you 6 points. And happy birthday...

[Mr Greeble]

Hey, Happy Birthday! That ship is seriously top notch.

Fantastic hangar and great ship! Also really like the little mech!

[Bob De Quatre]

Thanks everyone!

I must say I'm surprised as most comments I got (mostly on Flickr) only concern the hangar. I spent more than a week on a spaceship and people prefer a 2 hours built hangar!!

Sweet hanger.
