Systems monitor heavy interdictor (WIP)

Post by **Strana** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 2:02 am

basically my whole army is more or less tech themed with odds and ends tacted on basically as a privateer force. But for them to earn thier pay in the current times thyve had to pick up some heavy guns along the way. Here is the HODGEPODGE, a heavy monitor used to patroling for pirates smugglers and other riffraff of the galaxy. However this doesn't stop them from being sold to mercs or anyone with a large enough credit account.

obviously unfinished as its still missing the bridge crew accomodations etc. though it does have a huge amount of cargo space already. also needs more engines.

This thing is very shitty and rainbow.

It is also very creative.

10/10

You have imagination, and that's all that counts.

I would find both its size and colour scheme highly intimidating if it was fielded against my army. Looks like it would make an excellent basis for a mobile battlefield (all units moved 'downstream' apart from featured vehicle).

Stuff it with mans and/or lots of small (size 2-3) fighters. Or, for lols, many, many big missiles.

I also quite liked something I saw in the background - the use of translucent pieces to spell out billboard signs like 'Police' and 'Sues'.

I couldn't agree more, excellent work Strana

The scale is impressive to say the least

yeah the rainbowness is unfortunate but im again running out of briks. Hence the cnange in colors as its buit the one glaring unfortunate part for me is the green base used in the bow but its either that of more precious parts used and less for later. another trip to the lego store is order me thinks. also im going to try and build a mini fighter to fit in the cannon, whats better for deploying fighters than out of a launch tube, especially when it means that can be used as ordinance. another part though that i do have is a nice set of jail doors for a brig/hostage holding area.

I like it... Even though it's rainbowish, it still looks intimidating.... I noticed you used some pretty thick bricks, that thing must be heavy....

damn burgundy, that is some atrocious sig, flashing, obnoxious, bad spelling (ψ is not a w, it's a "ps") and nearly illegible.

back on topic:
that is some nice ship, may need some work on overall shape, but still nice.

I dunno, I like it more now

The shame reminds me of a Star Destroyer crossed with a TIE fighter

It looks even more entertaining to explodinate - which is the true function of Brikwars vehicles. Love the cannon battery. Moar pew pew!

Agreement over animated sig - it is a bit distracting. Increasing the time between frame changes will lessen the eyeball aggravation.
