WOW that is a big ship, the biggest I've seen too

Just wanted to state another WIP for the Lego Arrow fighter

Now on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/64007131@N03/sets/

The current state of the prototype is

main body: 100% complete ( missile and rack completed)

Laser PDF's : 99% complete ( any thing I missed ?)

engine pods: 85% complete ( need more thrusters)

Comments and critics would be welcome ( I only got Arioch on the first WIP)

Final note; apologies to shrakner for using his thread, if you need me to move, just say so.

The main body was already commented by Arioch IIRC.
The engine nacelle looks good overall. I'm only not sure why you didn't "round" the whole forepart of the nacelle. A quarter of it is not atm.
And probably something you can't do anything about, but the outermost edge (the part of the nacelle where the little extra yellow "wing" is attached)seems to bulge out too much compared with the incomic Arrow.

EDIT: mmm, the Arrow drawing seems to have a larger bulge on the outermost part then the incomic Arrow, so I'll probably have to scratch that last remark.

thanks Geo, I'm happy with the engine pods now. As for the missing pieces, I ran out of the curved pieces, but I know how many I will need for the final model

The "bulge" I think are thrusters for yaw motion/station keeping.

hi hi

I found this thing today while I was searching for realistic spaceship designs. I don't want to think about how much time it took to make.
