Gunboat "David Tucker"

Meeselz?
Lovely...
I personally dislike this whole top part here. I myself would rather prefer a bit of bricks up there instead of rails, or maybe perhapse some bars...
agreed the stripes are great.
:0

I like them
Bricks would go well with a capital class sized ship, I used these to suggest that this gunboat is mid-sized. With a crew of 3 or 4. So I'm gonna have to agree with Lukas >_>
I agree!
Awesomez!
Good use of the Bionicle Rahkshii leg, pity that you connected a dark grey ball to a dark bley socket...

The David tucker was destroyed in 5609 for an artificial space reef program.

Your work is always beautiful but I think the shape of this one makes it your best. I'm not sold on the missile launchers (they seem to break that section too much) but it's a minor nitpick for a stunning design.

Thanks, Tim! I wanted to make the outer panels smooth, and have this flowing motion, rotating around this center of cumbersome shapes and detailing, on both sides. ..asymmetric design also points to a sort of dual personality of the ship.. wow, that's deep.

I agree with Tim, it has a certain "alien" beauty.

I don't know how you do it Adrian... crazy curves all flow together into a wonderful shape. Fit a fig?

Missile launchers are actually my favorite part. Engine is nice as well.

No fig in there, it's supposed to be microscale .. or at least close to that. Thanks!

I think my favorite bit is the parts transition from the black wedges bak to the gray wedges...

Just noticed the car fender - an extremely underutilized part - great incorporation.

I love the shape of this thing and the stickers add a subtle but excellent touch. The engine construction is interesting and I like how the Bionicle® limb acts as a turret.

Very nice! Kinda reminds me of a cross between the Normandy from Mass Effect, and something from Homeworld.
