The Osprey

[Sir Dillon]

Hello all, before I get started, I'd like to point out that this ship is heavily inspired by Forcemaster's V-wing/Raptor. So a bunch of credit goes to him.

Anyways. This is now my third 'Space' creation posted online ever, and I used a few techniques that are new to me (SNOT, greebling, etc.) some I think turned out ok, some I'm not so sure...

Not much of a backstory on it, but I named it Osprey because I wanted to name it after a bird of prey, and in my bird guide book, the Osprey was described as a 'raptor', Forcemaster's ship being named raptor, I thought it fitting to name it such.

Like I said, this is my third space creation, so if you have any comments, criticism, or advice, please don't hesitate to share. :)

Thanks,

-Dillon

BTW, though this may seem like a April Fool's Joke, it really is my creation! ;-)

It might be better to credit it as based on BattleStar Galactica's Cylon Raider

since thats probably where forcemaster got his reference from....

That's the first thing I thought as well: Cyclon Raider!

I have to say, this is a definite improvement over your previous work. I like the way you used those engine pieces. I know it's a pain to use those right because they only have 3 studs :-/

Does it have landing gear? If not, I'd add some. You have the room for it...

I like the greebling and the SNOT turned out quite nicely actually. The color scheme works pretty nice too, even though I still prefer grey + another color ;-)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the replies! :-)

Well, I googled Cyclon Raider, and I think that could very well be where Forcemaster got his reference from, but since I had never heard of it untill now, I think it would be a good idea to still give him credit.

Thanks a lot! I like this one more then the others too.

Yep, I put landing gear on it, but never really took any good pictures of it :-$ You can see it a little in this picture. Also, you can see it some on the two pictures of the underside of the ship; the picture is with the landing gear out. The second is with it folded up.

Thanks, this is my first time greebling, so I was also pretty pleased with the way it worked out. Well, black is another color, but I know what you mean....

Thanks again for the reply, I appreciate it! :-)

BTW, did an Admin edit my post and put the picture in? If so, thanks. :-)
