custom starfighter...rapier class ADU interceptor

Post by boses »

Here is a starfighter I have been working on for a few days...the Rapier class interceptor...

I made the fighter to go with the Alien Conquest theme, some kind of top-secret aircraft...

I like it!
One thing though,in front of the cockpit doesn't seem to 'flow' enough, but still a great little ship. :)

Thank you for your reply, Knight Man...

I worked on the front of the fighter, like you suggested...

I switched the 1x2 brick between the forward prongs with a 2x2 slope, and I like the new shape better...

Thanks again, any other thoughts?

I built the front half of your ship and used a 2x4 slop, I personally thought it looked more aerodynamic that way but no, the rest looks superb. :)
