noname Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) This is the first version. To see the next version, click: V1.5 V2 Edit: I had a typo in title, it's supposed to be Mini-scale. The title says everything. I'm not experienced in sci-fi MOCs, so I need feedback. It looks exactly the same on both sides, so I only took picture of one side.

lightningtiger Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Simple yet interesting - how about the rear where the engines are ? I quite like it for being simple, does it have weapons or reactive armour ? Nice job 'noname' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
TheWarden Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Nice start to a shape, but needs a lot more! Even at midi-scale, you need some details that give us a idea what it is. If you hadn't told me, I can't tell if it's a spacecraft, a land or hover type craft, or an underwater craft. Try details like... engines / propulsion methods, weapons, sensor arrays, doors, exhaust, communications, etc. Edited September 8, 2010 by TheWarden Quote

But almost everything I add to the shuttle, ruins it's shape. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 The shape of the shuttle does look like it's built for the water, good use of slope and wedges for a streamlined finish. Good job on those points. I agree with them regarding the additional details, though I doubt how much more additional elements you could put on a 12- x 6-stud mini-shuttle. Quote
Dr_Legoman Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 It's really a challenge to add something to model of such small proportions and not ruin the overall design. You could try something like this: If you like the modifications and you think you have all the necessary bricks I'll send you a html building guide. Cheers! Quote

Can you send me the instructions? (I don't think I have all of them, but I'll try to change it and build it with my parts. I think your modification deserves a topic for itself (By the way, the Eurobrick's rules say that you mustn't post pictures larger than 600x800 (or 800x600, I don't remember) The shape of the shuttle does look like it's built for the water, good use of slope and wedges for a streamlined finish. Good job on those points. I agree with them regarding the additional details, though I doubt how much more additional elements you could put on a 12- x 6-stud mini-shuttle. Like my other MOC, it can be used as a spacecraft or a submarine. I've just added some sort of engine ad a turret, but it's not nearly as good as Legoman's version.

Dr_Legoman Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I'm glad you like it. LDD is my working platform because I have limited stock of bricks and in this case it proves better (for you ). Send me your e-mail on pm. Btw I apologize for the size of pictures, I'll keep that in mind in the future. Quote
noname Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I have tried to add some things to the shuttle, and here are the results: But some modifications were not so good... Edited September 9, 2010 by noname Quote
noname Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Dr_Legoman kindly sent me his modification with instructions. Unfortunately, I didn't have some parts, so I improvised. I can see now that I didn't push the parts properly, so ignore that. The lever-weapons are supposed to be more "upwards", but they lost their friction with the years.

lightningtiger Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Very nice work 'noname' - great add-on's - heavy weapons and main thrusters too ! Also the red trim is nice too ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Nice improvisation of Dr_Legoman's design. Good to see that. Quote
