Ballom Nom Nom Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Flickr The Luminous Cuttlefish, spacecraft of the intrepid Teuthian pilot Squishy McSquiddles, with which McSquiddles explores the far reaches of the Gafflar Nebula.As I rarely build with System, and generally am pretty poor at System builds, many thanks to Peterlmorris of Flickr, whose cockpit boxes provided a great base for this fighter. :DAlso, Galaxy Squad sets are awesome and Warp Stinger probably has the most useful parts collection out of any set I've bought in years.Hopefully a new topic in SBC will draw more attention to this unfortunately sparse forum. ~B~ Edited March 27, 2014 by Ballom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Immediately loving the lime green. I wouldn't put down your system abilities, this is really cool, sleek and surprisingly curvy for a system build. As far as I can tell, almost the whole thing is SNOT right? It's done particularly well on the nose. The lightsaber hilts on the side stand out a little, I reckon they'd be better in black.

Obsessionist Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Slick build! I'm loving the curved boxes by the cockpit. The purple stripes in front look a little boxy- is there a way to end them with a cheese slope? I love the purple thrusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't take all the credit anyway, since Peterlmorris made the cockpit design; I just built on it. But thanks for the comment. Most of the ship is indeed SNOT, however. The lime pieces really came in useful for that. Sadly, I don't have any lightsaber hilts in black (do those come in black?), so the chrome ones had to do. Luckily, they don't stick out like a sore thumb. Slick build! I'm loving the curved boxes by the cockpit. The purple stripes in front look a little boxy- is there a way to end them with a cheese slope? I love the purple thrusters.I actually ran out of purple cheese slopes, since I only had 2 to begin with, and unfortunately LEGO doesn't make a 1-tile thick cheese slope. On the other hand, I left the purple stripes that way to seem like a recurring design on the ship's front. As for the trans-purple thrusters, I love them too. The cocoon pieces from the Warp Stinger really came in handy, especially since they match the trans-purple cones elsewhere on the ship. Sadly it seems that this forum is still rarely visited, but I appreciate the comments, guys! ~B~ Edited March 27, 2014 by Ballom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
