Lander Training on Mars

Post by AardWolf »

Hey everyone! This is my first space MOC, so any tips and feedback are appreciated. I'm going for realistic future space style, trying kind of a different space route than most I've seen. If you're interested, the start of a story is available on Flickr. Anyway, here it is:

I tend to prefer sci-fi since the stuff looks cooler, but this is a great build. Lots of details packed into a small space. I also like that you explained the purpose of everything instead of just greebling for the sake of greebling.

Only suggestion is to create a space backdrop (maybe black construction paper and white out?) rather than photo-editing like you did in the first image. The edges are a bit harsh.

The lander looks very good. Very techy and realistic, which I like a lot. Quite an harmonic build with an impressive amount of detail-work just at the right places!
