[CSE] Futuron Astro Warden

[soccerkid6]

The CSE contest grabbed my attention, especially after seeing so many creative entries, so I had to try making something for it myself!

This Futuron patrol craft measures 36 studs wide, carries a small rover, and seats two crew members.

I based the ship around the inverted trans-blue canopies which were not the easiest things to work with at first, but I’m happy I was finally able to use them.

Thanks for looking

Looks great. Nice angles and smooth original shapes. I really like the little details, big rims and tires on the little rover!

Love the way the rover’s attached, I’m surprised by how ‘right’ it looks. Usually I’d expect a ‘just slap it on there’ technique to look way out of place but it works well here! Cool to see a ship where the longest dimension isn’t the length too.

I really adore the shaping on the wings. You've gotten a great look out of a fairly small number of parts there.

Also, those canopies look great in there - I wouldn't have thought to use the inverted version, but that's worked excellently.

Really unique wing shape!  Great blend of a modern style with some of the old parts.

This is great.

Curvy Futuron shaping - check.

Giant white barrier right down the middle of the canopy just like the auxiliary patroller - check. 

Weapon-shaped scientific apparatus on the wings reminiscent of the Stardefender 200 - check.

I love the rover with the Speed Champions wheels, too. I'd never get anything done if I had one of those on my desk, and I'd probably get some weird looks during Zoom meetings.

I like the overall shape of the craft. Very good use of the canopies. The cockpit looks interesting. Nicely done.

Great work Isaac, you always manage to fit such smooth lines and angles in!
