Default Re: OT: Which of these looks best?

The upper right one looks like a ship from a "dark", semi-evil race to me, not really the Phong but more of a weird Phong/EEE/Fazrah combination with a little bit of "chaotic evil" thrown into the mix.

The lower right one reminds me of the Xi'Chung, probably because of the nose. It seems to me like a ship from a race that has trouble trying to shed their reputation as "evil" beings.

The upper right one looks the most Phong to me, but the red..... well, I dunno about that. I like it, don't get me wrong, but the red kinda detracts from the feeling that these guys are akin to the Phong.

The lower left one looks to me like an upper right one with extensive combat damage.

Personall, I think the one in the upper left-hand corner looks the best.

They are all good. But the bottom right is the best. I like the mix of red and green.

OK, I've counted up all the votes thus far. When people said they liked two or more, I just divided the vote (.5 for two, .25 each for all four if all four were liked ). The results are:

Top Left: 2.5
Top Right: 4
Lower Left: 1.5
Lower Right: 5

So it's a close race between Top Right and Bottom Right. Lower left is pretty much out (it was my least favorite as well).

Maybe I'll just have to create a couple variations. Keep an eye out for some more models which will come as I have time to work on them!

Maybe later I'll have some sort of a competition where people can suggest names for the finished set, with the best one chosen by vote or by me . Might be a little while before the set is done though.

Default Re: OT: Which of these looks best?

I was in a mood this evening to create some ships for this set, so I sat down for an hour and a half and made 13 ships, just over a quarter of what I need. After that many I kinda ran out of creativity so I'll have to wait a bit. But in the meantime, I finished all ships from Scout up to Heavy Dreadnought. Below are the models of the Heavy Destroyer, Battlecruiser and the Dreadnought.

Please let me know your honest and full opinion of these ships. Don't sugar-coat anything, I can take it Any criticisms (as long as they're constructive) are most welcome, or just feel free to say what's on your mind.

I've tried to keep these ships somewhat simple in form, sort of like the Phong they resemble. Thus the heavy usage of circular shapes, stretched and distorted somewhat. Actually, I think a circle is the only basic shape I've used to create these ships!

Anyways, enough of me babbling, here's the ships!

Pretty ships, in an ugly sort of way.
