A couple of weeks ago I made this:





I'm not sure what faction it would be for or anything, but if I had a few more GT pieces lying around I would have used them instead of the OT and it would have been a Zupponn Mining Co. ship.

Heck, it could belong to lots of factions! Immortal, Zuppon, Vol, ...

Yeah, any faction that uses black, which is only like 3 or 4 [/sarcasm]

Simple, but awesome.

The amount of dakka is acceptable; well played sir. I like the orange on black colors too... very sinister.

Thanks guys. I'm a big fan of the big cannon on the back myself.

If you elongate it a bit at the front, put one of those curved pieces I use on my dragonheads on top for the bridge and add the 'flag' pieces I also use on the Mastercutor to those sides it will be even more badass: would make it look more complete and give it a better profile, I think.

True, but I think the hitch that makes up the "bridge" on this ship is suppose to be a cannon, hence why it can rotate.

Yes, it's a cannon. It goes boom.

Also, who in their right mind would put their bridge in the most vulnerable spot in a space ship (where my cannon is). I would put it in the center of the ship where it's well protected from enemy fire. That way if the vulnerable spots get hit the ship can still operate.

Ha, indeed.

I started building my own monstrosity of a SpaceWarship that was basically a triangle with about a gross of OT cannons on the leading edges, but lost intrest when it came to detailing the two faces.

I meant 'put one of those curved pieces I use on my dragonheads for the bridge on top' to specify the piece I meant. It doesn't have to be the actual bridge. I suppose the bridge on a ship could be anywhere but I prefer to put it where the crew gets vision of what's happening around them. If builds do not seem optimal to avoiding damage, it's to increase the chances of a lovely explosion

Which piece would that be?

The golden brick and the one behind that make the bridge where there would otherwise just be a 2x2 space too. It doesn't have to be *that*, but I suggest sticking some kind of piece(s) on top to give it some more volume / profile / character / whatever.

I'll see what I can do.

Good I'm looking forward to seeing what you can cook up.
