Awesomeness.
The VTOL is just cool. Not sure about the cockpit part of it, but the main body of it rocks. Gotta love the huge cannon. I also like the simple but effective design of the smaller cannons - The ball joint gives it lots of movement.
As for the Space Police ship, I love the design of it. I don't even know what to say about it, except amazing SNOT work. The only thing I'm not taken with is the two large curved pieces. (From Jango Fett Slave I set) The engines especially captured my attention - All made from small parts, and yet powerful looking. Definately the "hottest" of Police Ships. I'd love to see it in different colours, maybe as a race ship? It has that look to it. Especially with the small cockpit but larger ship and sleek design. One thing I really am not sure about are the 'outrigger' bits of it. I like the look of the large white curves on them, but on the insides they don't look that great. Although I can't think of any way to change it without completely redesigning it.
Definately a couple of the best ships I've seen lately, especially the Police ship. Aside from Adrian's Tribunal, of course.

The cock pit on the VTOl , I wanted to use that dark shadow grey color of canopy . I played around with the bubble on from the jedi starfighter but found it was to high and ruined the sleekness of ship .J1A3L5 wrote:Awesomeness.

and the bottom one was 2 wide and didn't open without alot of extra work put into it .
As for hte Dark blue peices from the slave 1 . I wanted to have a white and blue color scheme but though that the regular blue was to bright. I only have a few peices in that color and short of going to regular 2x3 slopes and stuff i would be hard to achieve that round smooth look i wanted to get on the front.
The our riggers are there cause I couldn't decide on a fixed wing position that i was happy with so i made them be able to move . it also takes the place of landing gear too , I tried for a while to fit landing gear in that was small enough to hide and that could support hte wieght of the ship .. i failed ! haha :rotflol:
I part that was kinda rushed was hte center bottom in my mind it gets kinda chunky and if i had spent more time on it , it could have been alot smoother . oh well .
but thats for your opinion . what other canopy do you think would work on the VTOl though ?
