Nice exosuit.
-
Haha I love the separator tent!
-
Took me a second to figure it out but I got it from the last picture. I really like the idea.
-
Nice build! I like pretty much everything, but especially that speeder.
-
The broken robot made me sad. Glad you fixed him. Really nice idea for the blue plants.
-
I like the stratification underground and the barrel worm!
-
Cool ships!
-
Nice mecha! Loving the Kawashita mecha in particular.
-
Nice work! I like the generator and the tanker in particular.
-
Great vehicles. Love the quad and the first couple shots as it's going up the ramp.
-
Really like the idea and the execution. It's really cool to see the vehicle in the water and it's done well.

Thanks!

Thanks mccoyed! I might do that, if people would want them (?). My plan was (still is, basically) to source the parts myself and build them to see if I wish any design changes to the LDD file. I build them with care in LDD for real world structural integrity, so they all will hold up - but I imagine there would be further things I'd do in real bricks and I was then going to update the LDDs to make them finalized. The added bonus would then be I'd slowly work up an inventory of bricks to use to eventually build things like these in actual bricks. So happens I believe I have all the parts now for the custom version (the red one) of the Reppū (Strong Gale), as I have been working on getting them. I should take a day and build it and see how it turns out. This one has less bricks than the Hiryu (Flying Dragon - that thing is huge!) so maybe I'll set about getting the parts for this one next and testing it. This one definitely uses pretty much all commonly found parts. The most uncommon thing is usually a color choice for something specific, so I don't think anyone with a reasonable amount of parts would have too much trouble building it - it's certainly flexible enough too to change some colors. I'll keep you posted!

Hah! Even better. More than I have. I like the slopes for the trunk and the thick leaves like that. It somehow reminds me of some of the fauna back in the Mesozoic Era (which is a good thing - very alien looking). I studied all things dinosaurs like so many kids.
-
Really nice idea to shoot it with the blacklight. Great atmosphere! The build looks great. I'd love to see a "daytime" shot in a spoiler to check out some more of the details. Nice work!
-
Nice terrain and lava Narbilu! I also really like that hover car.
-
The wing shapes are really cool. I like that part of the main build the best. I really like the shot of them running as well as your helping the tech understand the errors of his ways. Good story too! Always a pleasure to see what you come up with.

Omg that dome! Not to mention the scale... Awesome work Mike! -
Yeah. I'm really liking that tree too! The facility is cool as well.
-
Pretty ambitious build! I love those inner rotating rings so much! Very cool looking ship as well.
-
I love the legs and the wing pods! Really cool design. Very unique.
-
What a fantastic build! Love the canyon! The ship oozes all kinds of cool and the photography and story telling is fantastic. The speakeasy was a really fun surprise too.

Thanks Mike! It's fun having a squadron now, as I have an excuse to make variants. I like that a lot, especially as I segue occasionally into capital and carrier ship work, hangars and the like. Glad you like the shape! Was hoping it would work out and I liked the result, but it's always better to hear feedback from someone else. Thanks a lot! It's always fun having a shape or idea in your head but then seeing if it works out in a build. I always have some very simple starting point with a fighter/bomber build, be it working around a certain piece (like the Hiryu with the big arch part) or a particular shape. This time it was split wings in an arrowhead shape and pretty much got it. The cockpit was the big challenge for a while, given the shape of the canopy - how to make that back section. That pretty much led to a new backrest solution given that the space in there is tighter than on some of my other builds. Glad you liked it! Thanks! The wings were originally designed mostly with bricks, but I swapped them out for some plates and slopes and also used the headlights to get the studs going in another direction (as opposed to another way to do it) because I liked the pattern. Had envisioned multiple designs and color schemes for numerous pilots, but so far I only have two worked out. Have ideas for more. Might see future cameos. Thanks! I really liked that one too. At the time I was working back there I was trying to come up with a way to make the landing gear look seamless and integrated with the rear end. The 2-wide slope idea for the back wing section came to me and I really like the carved out look it made on the underside. One of my favorite parts too that may not immediately stand out from the rest of the design. Thanks! Definitely going to have to send out a memo! Ensigns these days! Thanks Commander Turtle! Being an anime fan myself, that's music to my ears! Absolutely! Happy as always to accommodate. When trying to figure out a little story to go with the build, I figured bringing that up made perfect sense.

Location: C04, Aeristus Tags: Kawashita, Spaceship, Airplane, Aeristus, C04 :: Start Transmission :: Commander Turtle: Aera? We're encountering tougher resistance than anticipated on Aeristus. Can the Murasame join us here? We could use the help! Aera Lure: I'll let Captain Voss know. Hopefully we can get there in time. :: End Transmission :: Murasame bridge Aera Lure: Captain. Commander Turtle has requested our assistance on Aeristus. Captain Voss: Hmm. Well we're in range and our current mission is not critical. Is your team ready for combat? Aera Lure: They are, sir. Captain Voss: Very well then. Aeristus it is! Get your pilots ready. Aera Lure: Yes sir! Murasame briefing room Aera Lure: You have all exceeded expectations in the training runs at The Fascini Cluster and have scored the highest among the other officers. You'll now be a member of my flight. Darek Tallus: Yes sir! Kari Sweet: Yes sir! Rei Kazama: [ yes sir! ] Aera Lure: ... Aera Lure: Ensign, why are you wearing your helmet to the briefing? Rei Kazama: [ The Shōkaku hit some pretty high Gs at Fascini so I thought I'd tighten my helmet strap, but now I can't get it off! Sir. ] Aera Lure: ... Aera Lure: What about your visor?

Rei Kazama: [ Yes sir! ] Kawashita KS-47 Shōkaku (翔鶴, “Flying Crane”) :: Aera's Diary :: 13 Julali 3815 1232 hours Having just completed a training mission in The Fascini Cluster, we were called in at the last minute to Aeristus to support the fighting there. The Murasame came into low orbit and I took my newly formed team on a flight patrol in the Shōkaku we used among the asteroids. M.A.N.T.I.S. is a tough opponent, so I hope they're ready. The Shōkaku's superior maneuverability may give them the edge they need. :: Technical Notes :: The Kawashita KS-47 Shōkaku (翔鶴, “Flying Crane”) is a long serving fighter in the Kawashita fleet. Originally meant as a replacement to the Flying Crane, the Kawashita KS-78 Reppū (烈風, "Strong Gale") developed instead into a heavier armed strike fighter. While the Strong Gale boasts more firepower and tougher armor, the Flying Crane still has the edge in maneuverability and is favored by some veteran pilots for one-on-one combat. The Flying Crane can still be seen on the front lines in most Kawashita air superiority missions. There is a rumor that a true successor to the Flying Crane is in development, but most consider it unlikely.

[Mac] POVRay transparency issue

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that.
