One word: Intense!

Thanks guys.

An interesting thing I did here is that the back of the car and the front of the car have an even stud width, but I offset the middle portion to have an odd width of studs.  That way I could put the seats in so they wouldn't be too far apart or too close together.

This is for a scene I'm working on with spaceman Bob. Sorry if it's a weird angle, that's about the entirety of the set though. The cylinders extend upwards a few more centimeters but it's supposed to be pretty compact otherwise. It's supposed to be a moon base, particularly a defense system control room. The little red LED on the breadboard lights up when powered, but I still have to make the switch to control it for animation. Luckily it takes AAA batteries!

I suppose I should probably have put more effort into the lighting of this particular shot... This is just a bare tungsten bulb to show the set, I was planning on rigging some white LED strips along the ceiling and behind some support beams and such to give the ship more vertical depth, and also cooling off the color.

Now that you mention it, I see what you mean. I'll try to fix that and post a new pic, especially since now I've got the red LED working

I agree completely. I wish I could have done this in bluish gray, but unfortunately this set pretty much exhausted my entire available collection. I don't have any more plates to make a different floor with...

I really like the patterned one plate offset in dividing line between light and dark. That's a fantastic way to break up the line, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been done too often before.

You say this is a small space ship, right? In that case, you may want to make the room feel smaller and more cramped. So I would suggest adding some inverted slopes near the top to bring things in and down a bit. Also, you may wanna add slopes to the bottom of the walls that are missing them.

Next, periodically add pillars in the walls. To do this, take out one of the slope pieces and replace it with one of these in dark gray, then build up until it's level with the top of the set. For one, it'll break up the smooth, unbroken plane of the wall, as well as add to the 'space-ship-y' feel by bringing things in just a touch.

Finally, do you have some LEDs? Those go a long way in giving a set a nice sci-fi feel.

As Pritchard said, the color break in the walls is really nice, especially with the spring loaded bricks(?) (the ones that shoot projectiles, right?). Along with what Pritchard suggested, try to clutter up the space a bit. Put some random crates and stuff around. If you're going for the dirty space look that can really make a difference.

I agree with Osomstudios that the door would look better round.  Also, the control panel by the top left corner of the door looks odd, maybe if you moved down two bricks it could become the door's control panel?
Overall nice set, I look forward to seeing the movie it stars in.

The Third Arrival is out now!

I must say that using the spring shooter prices for the pattern on the wall is fantastically brilliant!   I never would have thought of that in a million years.

That's really cool! It looks like something you could hang on the wall.
