yeah, I really don't have the ability to make want I want to make, it usually comes out different from what I planned.
And I plan things really badly.
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

I love your stuff. I usually hate things that are all over the place and have all of these little designs and colors to look at, but you do it really well.

Let me guess, you like abstract art?

That's got a wicked cool shape. It should be called 'The Fat Bird' or something. Nice.
I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

Sweet, I'm not much of a big fan about the wing tips(you have a nice sleek shape going on but the tips seem to squareish for me and throws it off) Other than that, I like it.

Do you have any picks of the cargo hold area?

I won't build anything because J+B is a great builder and I can't equal him in greatness.

However, you can't just come here and call everyone else's creations crap.

Face it, Dr. X is better than you.

Thank you. There was absolutely no purpose behind the color scheme except to spread my limited amount of grey throughout the entire model.

I like to make fun of abstract art. My favorite is a "sculpture" which was a black block of stone (think the Monolith from 2001) leaning against a wall.

And yes, I know Dr.X is better than me, but I do like to show off. And I have never intentionally called someone a bad builder. If someone interpreted one of my comments that way, I take it back.
The cargo bay is big enough to fit this. Otherwise it is empty.

I'm currently working on this ship's replacement. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to posess the same amount of awesome... maybe next time.

That seems more minimalistic than abstract, but 'tever.

I also think they were referring to j+b with that comment, not you.

We didn't say your stuff is bad. We said that the thing you posted was pretty much just a copy of what someone else had done and that you haven't posted anything extraordinary that I or several others have seen.
