MKJoshA Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 OoC: See the rest of the story: First They Came For the Qwohogs A Brother's Work Is Never Done A Night At Hao's The Breakout Commandeered Escape A Rebel Leaving Corellia "In The Shadows To The Left" Imperial Troops Have Entered the Base! Sand Crab Attack! "Rough Edges" There's No Place Like Hoth For the Holidays On Tatooine After I drove off the giant sand crab and got a distress signal out it was still hours before I was rescued. A moisture farmer came by in a landspeeder right before sunset. "My name's Zak Darklighter," the driver said. "We've been picking up survivors all, seems like there are more than normal this sandstorm. Lots of Imperials too. Can't say I like 'em much, the Imps that is, but they pay well for search and rescue. Seeing as my nephew was part of the Rebels awhile back before he died in a skirmish with the Empire you'd think I wouldn't like 'em at all, but we all gotta make a living somehow right? Say, what's your name by the way?" Seeing as this guy liked to talk more than was good for him I figured I shouldn't give out too much info. "I'm Dath." I decided on. "What brings you out this way Dath?" Zak asked. "I was hired to deliver some parts to Mos Eisley. It's only my second time making the trip and the sandstorm caught me by surprise." I lied. "Delivery job huh? That reminds me of..." Zak didn't stop his story until we got to Mos Eisley. He dropped me off at the spaceport and continued on his way through town, still laughing at his own reminiscing. I ducked into a dark corner and checked my communicator. I had a missed message from Yeoman: "Meeting me at docking bay 96." When I got there I was surprised to see Yeoman standing next to a ship. "You'll have to tell me your side of the story later Yeoman, right now I think we should get off this rock. A farmer I met said there are a lot of Imperials in town right now." "No need to worry my friend. I've already been in contact with HQ and procured this vessel from some Mandalorians I met." Yeoman replied. "Mandalorians? Are you sure the ship is safe? There aren't any secret compartments of explosives forgotten to tell us about?" I asked. "I checked the ship over thoroughly before accepting the deal, there is no need to worry." Yeoman reassured me. With my doubts only partially relieved we took off in our new ship (well, technically it's Yeoman's since he bought it) the Rough Edges. OoC: Comments and feedback welcome! Quote
korpen4444 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Nice! I love your use of slopes!I also like the dark red pattern! Good job, for Rebel Scum (I'm an Imperial ) Quote
Commander Colt Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Someone had a lot of fun with those cheese slopes! I like the shaping and color combinations, and engine entire engine block. Quote
TWP Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I like the ships design, and it is executed just fine. It really looks like a plausible smuggler's ship. so, good work on this one! the cockpit and other pod look a bit strange just sitting there, and though I like it much, it might be cool to have them to be able to rotate perhaps?

MKJoshA Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Nice! I love your use of slopes!I also like the dark red pattern! Good job, for Rebel Scum (I'm an Imperial ) Thank you, even if your praise is given begrudgingly. Someone had a lot of fun with those cheese slopes! I like the shaping and color combinations, and engine entire engine block. The cheese slopes just kept coming and coming it's true. It seemed like there just weren't enough until the product was finished . I'm glad you like the engine block, that's my favorite part too. the cockpit and other pod look a bit strange just sitting there, and though I like it much, it might be cool to have them to be able to rotate perhaps? Wow, sounds like an engineering nightmare with Lego pieces. I have no plans to execute that idea, but I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions about how to make it possible with existing Lego pieces? Quote
Manx Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Very nice and interestinh shape! Is interior of both parts detailed? Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I must say I love asymmetric ships and this one is no exception. At first I thought "where are any thrusters?" but then I realised the engine is in the middle. Really nice build, I'd only change the rear hatch of the cockpit to look more smooth ... Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Very nice and interestinh shape! Is interior of both parts detailed? Thanks! Only the interior of the cockpit is detailed. The interior of the other half is useable for storage, but doesn't have anything interesting inside except exposed studs. I must say I love asymmetric ships and this one is no exception. At first I thought "where are any thrusters?" but then I realised the engine is in the middle. Really nice build, I'd only change the rear hatch of the cockpit to look more smooth ... Well thank you. This has got to be one of the best comments I've had from you yet . I agree with you about the cockpit hatch. If I had enough of the new reverse tiles I would have used those, but I only have 2 right now. I tried using the front side of the plate so I could add tiles, but the mechanics of the hatch didn't work when I tried that. And it was really important to me that the hatch was usable. Whoa, interesting design... Thanks, I think... Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I love the concept. The jagged cheese was a great idea, and the transitions from the engine block to the rest of the ship are perfect. I do think it looks a little unfinished, though. Compared to the back half, the front half with just stacks of plates looks a little messy...I'm not sure how to fix it short of reworking the whole area with no small amount of SNOTed slopes and greebles, though.

It's funny that people are seeing it that way since I actually finished the front half and then struggled with a good way to make the back half look good. I actually wasn't very pleased with the back half and all its cheese slopes. Though I am glad that everyone else is Quote
