Vulture attack fighter

[Optimus]

I made this yesterday after a couple hours of building. I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I used the Blacktron II color scheme.

The ship is equipped with an armament of 20 ship-to-ship missiles as well as 4 kinetic energy cannons.

The name is rather uninspired, but the best I could come up with.

Questions and comments welcome.

It started off looking like this, then I decided to take it apart and start again because I was unhappy with the result as it looked more like a submarine than a spaceship.

I pretty much redid the entire thing aside from the basic structure which everything branches out from.

Excellent MOC! I love the engines and the things sticking out the front.

Excellent 'Optimus' !

Love the engines - power to escape when needed.

The weapons - punch with 4 plasmas or missile lauchers which can rotate to fire on the opposition - cool !

White - cool too !

I agree a spaceship shouldn't look like a submarine !

Great work 'Optimus' - I'm a conformist! !!!

Looks like somebody had the Discovery Space Shuttle!

Your spaceship looks very good. Though I think it is a bit big for a fighter, it makes a very well-armed transport-type vehicle. The reason it doesn't look like a fighter to me is because it is so long and bulky, but length and bulk are great for transporters. Does it have an interior?

Yeah, it is a little big for a fighter , unfortunately the way I constructed it made it impossible for an interior. Everything is attached to a section only 4 studs wide so it's pretty much impossible to fit an interior anyways.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Hello!

These are two great looking ships in a nice colour scheme. The guns and engines are very detailed. I have also two suggestions. The landing gear for the bigger vessel looks a bit too narrow. A ship that massive would need it wider for a stable stand. And as a minor suggestion, you mixed-up port and starboard. The right side (starboard) should have the green light, and the left side (port) should have the red one.

Thanks for the comment. The landing gear is actually very stable and holds the ship up quite well. I never knew that the red and green lights designated port and starboard, but it's good to know!
