Hmmm... that does look interesting and yeah, the callback to the Archangel can be seen. Though I would totally see a change in the overall scheme for the Archangel due to COMPASS now controlling the ship which would look similar to the Concordia . Just a thought that I had. Sorry. Well, at least in...

Yeah, kinda. They definitely have a more "industrial" aesthetic compared to the originals and do look quite a bit different. But compared to how drastically the MS have been redesigned, the ship redesigns are a lot more conservative IMO. Anyway, experimenting with color scheme ideas for th...

Saw some of it, yeah. Interesting enough, nothing super ground-breaking as far as the ships.

Glad you agree. Anyway, got the first color scheme done. As with the previous version, the first basically keeps the canon Millennium 's color scheme... with one minor variation, in this case . Just thought that added little pop of color on the outside worked pretty well. I've got one or two other c...

I took another crack at my original plan for the catapults on the Concordia . This is the result . The bulk of the new parts came from the Archangel , but I also used a couple of parts from the Girty Lue for some superficial details. I still left a section of open deck on each catapult large enough ...

I originally planned to redesign/replace that entire section of the hull, but couldn't find anything that fit/worked - none of the other CE ships are drawn at quite the same angle, and looking to other sources for something suitable yielded zilch. So I had to abandon my first plan and go to Plan B -...

IRL stuff has prevented me from doing much photoshop work, but I'm mostly done with the preliminary editing work on what I'm calling the LHM/S-XB03 Concordia , the GSDA-verse's answer to the Millennium And here she is . Still need to shade and color it, but apart from that it's basically done. Eyeba...

There seems to be more designs out now. Does anyone else think the Zeon Pegasus Class Sodon seems to resemble the Thoroughbread from the Main UC? It's literally White Base with a different paint job. The only thing it has in common with the main-timeline Thoroughbred is a predominantly green color ...

That is actually really cool.

Still working - off and on, when time and life allows - on the Concordia , my modified version of the Millennium . Got everything figured out except the launch catapults, which I'm still working on. Basically, I've upped the number of beam cannons and linear cannons by two each, added some extra CIW...

I read that in Kirk Thornton's voice in my head. Welcome back.

Frontier was my first and will always hold a special place in my heart as such. I definitely recommend checking out both versions - the series and the movies. I say "both versions" because the movies are sort of an AU-ish retelling of the same basic story, and both the movies and the full ...

Ah! Though I figured I did it first myself, as I introduced the Paladin Protection Force (PPF) in a couple of my Post-Destiny based Cosmic Chronicle Shorts. The most obvious is chapter six, in which PPF Fleet Commander Murrue chooses a new officer to command the newly refitted Archangel and (I thin...

Also, what is the ISAF? Your version of COMPASS? Pretty much, except I did it first :P. ISAF is a multinational peacekeeping task force that's created as part of the Second Treaty of Junius Seven in the epilogue of GSDA, composed of units from the PLANTs, Orb, the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian ...

And while I'm at it, why not take a crack at the Impulse too? Here's the AF-MSX156(ZGMF-X56S2) Impulse Spec-2 I kind of think the SF Type-II's arms work a little better on my Destiny, so I decided to try to see how the RF's arms would look on the Impulse, and it just sort of snowballed from there. O...

Oh, I see. Well, thanks a lot for clarifying that.

A thought just occurred to me that I admit I'm a little puzzled by, so I thought I might as well ask here, but... In the movie, we see that apparently Terminal/the Clyne Faction set up shop inside the remains of Boaz. But didn't the Alliance nuke Boaz only a few years earlier? I mean, I'm no expert,...

I honestly think, having now seen the movie, that my favorite single scene is the one where Athrun beats the ever-living crap out of Kira while simultaneously delivering what I can only describe as a sorely-needed "The Reason You Suck" speech. Except maybe the look on Hilda's face a short ...

Thanks. I recently experimented with redrawing the Rising Freedom's faceplate to get it look less awful , and decided to see how it looked on my Destiny Type-2 . I used the Strike Freedom Type-II's for the basic shape, then altered it using parts from the RF, and I rather like how it turned out, act...

Okay, so it still does it, but on such a small scale that it's not noticeable/does not have the environmental impact of a larger ship reactor.
Thanks for clarifying.
