Black Banshee

[RangerBob]

Here is a fighter, that was inspired by the Banshee from Wing Commander IV

for more pics visit the Gallery on Brickshelf

On some pics you will see trans clear bars beneath the ship.

They are just mountings so it stands still (it's a little shy )

Hope you like it. Any suggestion for improvement is welcome

I like the technic beam structure used to attach the 'arms' sideways and upsidedown.

Improvement would be in the side pods... I think there are a few too many slope pieces used there at different offsets, so they actually make it look lumpy instead of smooth.

Consider cutting those down and just going with mostly flat ordinary bricks and tiles to make the pods simpler and sleek looking. With a simplifed construction those areas will also become fine prime estate for stripes and markings from using different bands of tile colors.

Thanks for your comment.

When I built this ship i wanted a edgy fighter, but i try your improvements. Maybe I like a sleek model of this one more.

A somber and rough looking ship, almost a little scary, with an interesting pilot... nice!

@Asuka

thanks for your comment.

finally I had the time to build a sleeker model of the Black Banshee

thanks to xenologer for the advice

Neat

I think that the grey tiling pattern on the outside of the wings looks a little random though.
