[MOC] First Micro-Space build

[Sarles]

I've been following several builders in the micro-space genre and love seeing what they come up with. I've also really enjoyed watching Shiptember come together every year on Flikr and often wondered if I could design something worthy of that contest/forum.

With all that being said, I've started a new design and I'm taking a bow to stern build and would love to get comments as I build my way through this.

I don't really have a back story of the ship or an end result in mind. I just want to play with shapes and other techniques to see if I can build something interesting.

Very nice!, made me remember about the old spaceships from the "V" TV show or the old "Tente" construction system.

You're off to a great start! Going with 7 wide makes it a bit more interesting to look at, and the grooves are a great detail. I think the three studs down the middle are just waiting for some more detail, and possibly the rear as well.

Thanks for the comments. The studs that are on top at the moment are going to house some antenna of some sort. I'm just waiting to flesh out the rest of the ship to add on the details.
