			<description><![CDATA[They are all notched hinges. 

You're probably right Thistof. Notched hinges are funny things, sometimes I've had them be super strong, and other times, even weaker than the smooth hinges. If I use brand new ones, they could probably hold it well enough. 

Adding another on the bottom to match the two on the top would help, but that would mean making the back bigger than I'd like. Might be a nessecary evil.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe add a notched hinge? Those tend to be sturdier than the smooth hinges. Especially if it needs to stay in place and not rotate smoothly. I can't remember what the part number is called, but they exist trust me :P]]></description>

Completely redid the back of the saucer section where the nacelles attach. It's not quite as pretty, and ended up blockier than I wanted. However, this one is much sturdier. Still, Bricklink's Studio keeps telling me those single hinges just won't cut it where the nacelles attach to the main body of the ship. 

Any advice on adding strength to that hinge connection?]]></description>

I'm working on a digital model of the NX-01 Enterprise. Here's my current version of a warp nacelle. ([url=http://orig03.deviantart.net/3ad1/f/2013/322/4/9/nx_class_ortho___nx_01_enterprise__updated__by_unusualsuspex-d6ukbiy.jpg]See here for reference[/url]) 
More pics can be found on my Facebook Page ([url=https://www.facebook.com/pg/PritchardStudios/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1166219546849606]See Here[/url]) 

The hard edges make it seem a bit more aggressive than I'd like (Better suited for an I.S.S. Enterprise) and it could probably be longer. What do ya'll think?

(Also, the eyesight renderer in BrickLink's Studio 2.0 is fantastic! Just look at that detail!)


EDIT: Here's the full NX-01 Model. (Version 2)

			<description><![CDATA[Wow, lots of detail! My only criticisms are that it would look better if you use bricks for the walls and then used bricks with studs on the side to add detailing; of course you may not have those type of pieces, which is fine, and in that case, I would keep the walls the same, unless you can change the colours. At the moment there are a bunch of different colours (especially bright ones, which I don't think would really be his style), so I would suggest (if you can) trying to use only 1 or 2 colours and keep it consistent throughout the set.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[img]https://i.imgur.com/Ejl7u1Z.jpg[/img] Just finished this set that's going to be in an alien themed film that I want to try. The thing that Retox is walking on is the main bridge where  you drive the ship and keep the engine running. I tried making the two walls in the background looking as science fiction-esque as possible, as well as the whole main bridge itself. To make this set I actually used the Lego Coast Guard set as well as the "Toxicity's Toxic Meltdown" set]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[An incredible improvement! 
Fantastic job taking every piece of advice and running with it. 
This new edition has a lovely chunkiness to it, and I love the gun and ladder. Much better!

This right here is why this thread exists.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, this is a critique thread, so here we go. 

When I first looked at it, I had no idea what is was, or even what it was supposed to be. My first thought was that it simply was just a pile of random bricks stacked on the base of a real Lego model. 

It lacks definition and purpose. It's kinda just a box on wheels, and no a very pretty one at that. 

I suggest finding a troop transport vehicle that you like and modeling it a bit more off of that. Even if it doesn't look the same in the end, having a clear model in mind helps a ton in the design process. 

It can be boxy without being a straight up box. Try some angled bricks to give it a strong, aggressive military feel. Also, as has been said, a bit more armor would help. Maybe a plate that folds down as a ramp for the exiting soldiers would also be a nice touch. 

In my opinion, troop transports tend to look shorter and wider, and are more military colored, with darker hues, grays and blacks. Tan works as a desert vehicle, but the tan is giving a more ice cream truck vibe than urban assault vehicle right now. 

I hope this helps!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Honestly? It looks like a stripped-down ice cream van. Troop transports are a lot better armoured than this, with good reason. Hey, it's just my opinion. I try not to say anything unless people ask...]]></description>

I didn't design the front because this vehicle appears only in one scene, and that is in the position showed below -

It will be used to transport soldiers, so imagine it full of soldiers. Any advise/comment would be appreciated. :)]]></description>
