"Keeper of Desperation" HW-451 Class: Modified Starfigher

My entry to the "Corps Battle Challenge: Gone Wild!"

This will be kind of a "Dry Post"* for now, I'm short on time and have to rush. I'll probably come back and add more comments.

Backstory:
Kyron Nayel finds himself in exile after faking his own death and escaping the Servants of Catharsis. Knowing he must leave all he's ever known behind, Kyron heads to the desert planet of Tatooine to try and start a new life. He settles down in the bustling space hub of Mos Espa where no one ever asks questions. But were it so easy, Kyron's sleep is now plagued with the nightmares of a gruesome event that he doesn't remember expirencing. In an effort to calm his thoughts, Kyron decides to try and find the source of these nightmare so he can finally live in peace. Knowing he needs his own way of transport, Kyron repairs an newly crashed starfighter he finds in the dunes of the Jundland Wastes. He names her the "Keeper of Desperation" and hope this will lead to a more peaceful life.

Please Excuse this, Servimg isn't working for me, and grabing the BBCode from flickr sometimes causes this to happen.


This turret rotates 360, and the gun can move at about a 90 degree angle.



Hope you all enjoy! I had a blast building this hunk'a bricks, and good luck to everyone who's entering!
I'll have more pics to come! Leave a comment while your at it.

* Dry Post- No witty side comments, or much commentary.

Love the ship. It looks amazing, and the color scheme is great.

Hot, hot, hot! It's very unique compared to the other entries. It has a great bounty hunter feel to it. The yellow makes it pop, but keeps it balanced at the same time. Excellent work.

Very nice! This ship intrigues me for the fact of the great use of SNOT. I look forward to seeing more pictures!

Those angles are ridiculous and the ship seems well-built. Great color scheme as well. To me it appears to be a real blockade runner; with the large cargo-esque cockpit yet sleek and quick engineering style. Similarly, you didn't really go overboard with guns on this one, and the one main cannon is quite satisfying when compared to the simple design of the ship. Not to mention it, but I love those folded tail wings as well.

You're crazy.

Sabarrus just beat JP as the best new member.

But seriously, this is awesome

What?

To start, Thanks for the detailed comment, I enjoy those.
And yes, my sanity can be questionable.

Whoa, I'm flattered
But I personally think ol'Justin can't be beat.

And of course thanks Typhoon and Knight! It means alot!

Looks a little big for a starfighter, but this is at least third place in the voting. Nice job.

The outside looks really good like that studless and with the good colour scheme. Is there a cockpit though can we see some pics?

Yeah, it's got an interior.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to take some pictures of it asap.

Awesome job on the fighter Sabarrus. I love how you added the grey with yellow design. Also, I like how you made the gun. Looks terrific!

Click* jaw drops to the floor. Dude what is your adress I am sending you a medical bill.

Ah wow nice! I'll give you some better feedback later.

Love the SNOT and the colour scheme!

That gun is great, good job.
