Ikonhero Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Hi there LEGO fans! I used to play some game a while ago called Smugglers 3. It's a really cool turn-based space simulation with some cool spaceships as well as a great atmosphere. I was thinking of building my favorite spaceship out of LEGO. It's called "Fang": This is the original image I'm working from. As you can see it's rather low-res. I am builing a model in LDD at the moment (it's far from finished at the moment, just a rough sketch of the main shape): I would love to hear your reactions, as well as tips on how I can improve this design. At the moment my main concern is the wall-design. It's going to be rather smooth overall, but apart from that the original image seems to show many very small windows or lights on the ships walls, which I tried to mimick using 1x1 transparent plates on the nose here. So what do you guys think of this first wall design: At first I went with nothing but plates in between the lights, but that looked a bit weird in conjuncture with the large slopes. So I replaced some with bricks. But maybe all looks a bit too random? Any comments / advice are welcome! Thanks!!! Anoter quick render of a detail (engine): First part of the real model is finished: Edited October 18, 2015 by Ikonhero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Gomez Posted October 12, 2015 The texture is pretty cool! The grilled bricks add some nice detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikonhero Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Update: added 2 images of the first section of the real model . So what do you think? Personally I'm not 100% sure about the dark grey parts. Edited October 18, 2015 by Ikonhero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
