Hello,

I'm am former Lego addict; I just got back into it after 10 years. A friend of mine gave me a couple of hundred dollars worth of sets that they were going to give to charity, which consequently started me back up again. And after researching some Lego site's I came up on this. I haven't had a BrikWar skirmish yet. (I'm still building an army) But, I read about this competition, and it sounded a fun.

This is my first public MOC and a preview of my formal submission. I'm 85% complete on the external part of my ASHIP(Almost SHIP, 96 studs) and about 20% of the internal(I have 2 1/2 more decks to complete). I hope to have it complete by this weekend. (There will be better quality photos and descriptions)

I accept all criticisms, so feel free; I need to improve on my skill.

Hopefully I have enough time to complete another one before the end of the year.

Thanks.

Sweetsauce!!

It's a little plate-ey in places (such as the turrets), but I love the shape! That's so much of a better capital ship than I could do. Awesome.

That ship is wonderful and has an expert build to it.

well.. not that I could do any better, but I find the turrets looking a bit tacked on/out of place there and I don't particularly like the nose, other than that, AWESOME!

Gr8 stuff!!!

But, however, it does not transmit the feel of a "capital ship". Looks like a heavy troop carrier, or something.

Thanks for the complements & feedback everyone. Yeah Rody is right, the turrets were just tacked on, I'm still trying to figure out how I want the foredeck laid out. I have an idea hopefully it will pan out.

The platy nesses of the turrets are intentional, they are sets of railguns and I hope the detail comes out when I post better pics.

Also pesgores, this isn’t a capital ship, I took a page from Natalya’s SHIP description. If her 150+ stud SHIP was only a corvette, mine which is a bit shorter had to be a smaller class ship. So, it’s designated as a Cutter, but it armament & design is more of a small destroyer. Hopefully some of the ship’s features will be better explained by the description I’m going to post with it.

Editing restrictions wouldn't let him edit his 1st post in the topic, as it is too old to be edited unless Rayhawk decides to edit it.
