Khorne Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Hi folks, it's me again and I'm here with my second Space MOC 8- Quote
Brainbox Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Very nice. *y* I like how you've captured the futuristic/classic look. Cool. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Very nice. It could do with a lot more greebling up front, as well as plating some of those studs upfront (as most of it is studless). The trashcan is inventive, but it still kinda looks like a trashcan on the back of a fighter :-P You need to bulk up the engines a bit. Also, I noticed a small gap on the underside, does that mean there's landing gear? I checked the folder, but didn't see any Quote
Khorne Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Very nice. It could do with a lot more greebling up front, as well as plating some of those studs upfront (as most of it is studless). Yeah, it does look kinda flat on the front. I thought about putting some greebles there, but I didn't really know how I'd pull it of :-/ . The trashcan is inventive, but it still kinda looks like a trashcan on the back of a fighter :-P You need to bulk up the engines a bit. I would've loved to use a grey barrel as the 'exhaust' but I don't have any. The thrashcan was the closest thing to the 'real' exhaust I had. What do you mean by beefing up the engines? Do they need to be bigger? Also, I noticed a small gap on the underside, does that mean there's landing gear? I checked the folder, but didn't see any There is indeed a gap on the underside and it was originally meant for landing gear, but it didn't work out. I left the gap there so you can grab the plane better while swooshing X-D . Thanks for the criticism. It really helps me to make an even better plane :-P . Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 No problem, it really is a nice creation, and I know you can make it even better :-) By "beefing up" I mean that they're just really plain right now. Yeah, they're a LITTLE small (not too much, it could be fine as-is), but the engines are just really boring as they are right now. Check classic-space.com for some good ideas for engines. They have a whole section on them ;-) And just because landing gear didn't work out doesn't mean you have to stop trying. Try other ideas. Expand the bottom so they fit better. Something along those lines. As for greebles, CS also has a nice section on that you might want to look at. What you have now is nice, it's just a bit "plane" ;-) Quote
Asuka Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Very nice indeed! *y* The wings look sweet, and the color scheme is beautiful. And your graphic art is amazing! Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 now that you have made the thunderbolt are you going to make a Valkrie, or any other warhammy moc. I have some pictures of a whrilwind moc. here they are = That moc is from the fifth conspirancy, here's the web site = http://www.qualzone.com/lego5/moc_kraken/display_stuff.html You moc is good, I like the fact that it is from Warhammer 40k, too! But, what I like most is the fact that you captured a real fighter pilot scheme with the colors(red + grey). The only thing that I can recommed is try to add some stickers, posabbly from a star wars set such as the AT-TE, I t give the plane a little more color and it aslo make it look just a little bit nicier.... well, to me it does!

Brainbox Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The trashcan is inventive, but it still kinda looks like a trashcan on the back of a fighter :-P I dunno, I kind of like it. Quote
imhotepidus Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The shape and basic build are beautiful, but it does come across as a little boring, visually (which is sad, because, if you pay attention, it is not boring technique-wise). One thing that might 'pump' it up a bit is to work some stripes or other details into the wings - the big expanse of smooth grey bricks there could perhaps use some breaking up. Regarding the trash can on the back, which almost everyone else has commented on. I like the concept, but as it is it doesn't quite work. I would suggest rebuilding the tail so that the trashcan attaches one stud further forward. That way, you would get the same effect, but without it sticking out so much in the rear (i.e. it would look like an integrated part of the ship, and not like something tacked on to the end, as someone else suggested). Please take this as the constructive criticism that was asked for - in general, I really like this a lot! Roy Quote
