Nice, but it doesn't really seem like a "Dr. X" creation for some reason. I like it nonetheless.

It reminds me of a goldfish my sister had. The thing was rediculously fat and magenta. If you stuck your hand in the tank it would swim into it and let you pick it up.

Ditto.

But it's good. Not as good as some of yours, but still good.

Very nice indeed. The gatling gun is a win, and you used some new greebling techniques which I like. I also liked the "Moar Cowbell!" image on Flickr.

He looks like a Wailord.

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

Heh, Wailord. I don't know what Shippy is. Maybe a modified freighter. You'll have to ask him.

IT!??! Shippy frowns upon your gross mistake and vows to destroy you in the coming harvest.

Oh noes!

Sorry Shippy. I should have said "he".

Shippy forgives you and wishes you a bountiful harvest.

Shippy only seems uncharacteristic because Dr. X used the old-school method of building on him. His other models are of the newer streamlined styles, but this one hearkens back to the olden days of brick building (especially that cockpit).

Eh, I think he just looks too busy for me. I like a lot of Dr. X's stuff because it's so smooth and Shippy just has a lot of greebling.

I'm so-so about the shape, but I like the concept. The ship looks unassuming enough, but it hides one hell of a punch.

Yes. Shippy started out as an old-style doodle. Unfortunately, this has led to some of the meaner ships at his school calling him names like 'lumpy' and 'mcnugget'. This is part of the reason I gave him a plasma chaingun.
