Yay, pictures with the right size :P

This is my latest MOC, built after a two month period in which I didn't build anything (don't go breaking your wrist and eventually ending up with a titanium plate in it :/ )

It's a first attempt at a somewhat larger ship as well as a first attempt with new dark grey. I used the Dino Attack/2010 color scheme and I think that turned out quite nicely. I built this thing startig at the tail and working forward, which explains the amount of detail on the rear (and lack of it up front); I ran out of bricks.

The single black brick near the cockpit doesn;t look nice either, but it's a hollow brick, which I just didn't have in bley.

The cockpit was a pain to make, I tried at least 5 different techniques before settling with this one. It's actually constructed with two 2x2x1 bricks connecting to 2 more 2x2x1 bricks with a technic pin. It doesn't really look good, but the rest of the cockpit turned out quite nicely.

Onto the pictures...

Back landing gear. Best landing gear I ever made.

Hope you enjoy it, it'll be a while before more will come. I need to build as well as get my hands on our digital camera again ;)

Nice - but next time remember lots of lights when taking pictures and also pressing the close-up button on the camera allows non-blurry and well focused pics :-D [on my digi-cam it has a flower as pictogram].

That would make it a lot easier to see for example the landing gear.

Could You take new pics and post them - for further evaluation?

I tried that, I just have a crappy camera ;) And the lightning...I agree it could be better. I'll try it if I have the time :)
