you do realize that these are uh capital ships
imperial capital ships
from warhammer 40k
the source material for the original build is much much more ornate and detailed than the build you replicated. nevertheless, impressive job.
I didn't, though in retrospect that's obvious. I mean, who else makes gothic-themed spaceships?
Now that I see the source I agree there's a lot more detail than what I could make out from the source picture, and if I'd worked off the copious images for these I'd change a few facets of how I built the replica, but I think the original build maintained the overall profile of the ship quite well.
That's more impressive and detailed than the original build, honestly. Particularly since I never finished the interior.
Speaking of, thanks! I didn't notice your name on the thread at the time, but I know I wasn't the only to like that image in particular. The interior isn't that great, and I'm only really happy with the midsection and the roof molding.
As far as detail goes, even with Smallbricks there are limits to what can be done on this kind of scale, especially with curved features like the prow (took me like 3 iterations to get one that looked even remotely sensible), but for replicating blockland-to-blockland builds they're remarkably capable. Once someone's already put it into a grid-based system (and done the creative work) it's a lot easier than working from scratch.
