GP-21 Shrike
I know, I know it's November and it is not a Vic Viper derivative. But I wanted to do something Gunstar/Starfury-ish for a while now. I also wanted it to be a tad 60's style space ( hence the predominately white color scheme). Canopy design stolen from brainbike.rider, thanks Stefan!

This is nice no matter what month it is, great job. Such good use of so many "annoying" parts.

Yes. And great use of sticker/decals as always.

sweet ship
Fredoichi (44 months ago | reply)
Awesome! I think it looks even better than a Vic Viper!

This is freakin' sweet! I am so totally stealing this one!

This is lovely. You build good.

I thought it was a Gunstar at first from the thumbnail. Excellent work as usual. I like all of the maneuvering thrusters you put in there.

Well I love it! Just look at all that detail. I caught the Gunstar vibe immediately. This is some great stuff.

Great work Rob. Excellent use of printed tiles, too.

Good windshield choice, it blends into the rest of the spacecraft nicely.

Wow.
You are my hero.

Love the use of slopes in lieu of the oft-used curve - gives it a hard visual style that's refreshing and just plain mean. Great build.

My girlfriend text me how much she misses me, half-way through my response I saw this and got distracted and didn't finish the text.
... You're awesome building skills are going to get me in trouble. :P
Great work! I love it.
vìnn (44 months ago | reply)
Just like nnenn, your little details make the craft. I really appreciate how you can put so much detail into something, and not have it look busy. That's a huge accomplishment for me. Great name too.

Nice shape for starters, the engines are pretty darn sweet. Totally fulfilled your goal.
mondayn00dle (44 months ago | reply)

Rob, it's great to have a design stolen by someone like you ;-)

Haha Stefan it was pretty cool configuration, I had no choice!

Pure art, well done

Love the structure to split into the two engines each side. Great shape.
[does anyone remember "The Last Starfighter"? sorry it's not a noble reference but the ship in that was cool, I thought]

I've never seen a better angle or position for that fiddly V-wing cockpit.
Absolute win.

damn, thats nice
equuinox (31 months ago | reply)
Dude, awesome! Reminds me of a MagnaGuard starfighter. All of your starships are a bit rough, with a smoother, sleeker shape it would be perfect!
