marnicq Posted July 14, 2009 The FSC-Vehicle (aka Family Space Car - Vehicle) is the first vehicle to bring up 'normal' people to the stars .. and beyond. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37973179@N07/ All kinds of criticism and comments are welcome, I don't feel all that good about it ... so tell me what could be better about it, Thanks a lot !

Rayskull Posted July 15, 2009 would look so much more cohesive without the yellow flower, but otherwise very interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuvieD Posted July 15, 2009 It has a lot of parts that sort of stick out or look kind of tacked on. I get that impression mostly because of the yellow and light gray colors. I would try to streamline the car to incorporate those parts in closer to the main body. Perhaps an eight wide body with a six wide top would look great. I would also attach the main engine with a more sturdy connection. I guess I would look to make this more family sized and to tuck all the flying parts in closer to or into the main body of the vehicle. The things I like are the multiple engine points to allow verticle, horizontal, and forward thrust. The shaping and design of the car makes it look sturdy and like a family vehicle rather than the sports car style many people go for. I like the tan/yellow/gray color scheme and the cool shapes you are getting with some of those parts. I would also think adding lights and some sort of landing gear/wheels would be a must as it is dark in space and whether the family is going to a tropical alien beach or an intergalactic truck stop, they will likely need to land at some point. I look forward to seeing what changes you can come up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look forward to seeing what changes you can come up with. The front of the car is already around 8 studs wide because of the plates that have been added on both sides (: The car wasn't meant too look sportsy but rather family-car like or like a Lada http://judey.dasmirnov.net/lada.jpg Yeah I know the big engine is really badly connected ... I need to find something to that. (: At the bottom of the car are like these engine like things allowing the vehicle to hover , maybe magnets I don't know, it's meant to be futuristic so It wouldn't have to land : D haha Anyway thanks for the criticism I'll see what I can change about it (: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2x1darkgrey Posted July 16, 2009 Very creative. Sans the big engine it reminds me of the old mercury zephyr station wagon my parents had when i was a kid. I can practically hear a mother screaming "Don't make me come back there!" throughout the void of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha : D Thanks, and yeah I didn't want to make a really futuristic car, but one looking rather like a typical old family car. (: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
