 Well, after taking many suggestions by the good people of CSF, I have finished the Borenkov (Credit for the name goes to Osolis Mantis!). Because I don't feel like boring my Komrades with a backstory already on a different site, I'll just give y'all the links. FlickrEastern Block SiteBrickshelfFeedback appreciated! |

I looked hard to see if there was something in this MOC that I did not like, and I could not find a single thing! Needless to say, you didn't do a bad job on this.  What are these two black pieces in this picture? +15 Bricks |

The two black pieces look like Steering wheels to me.
Anyway, Great job, I like the complicated yet simple loom of it. I like the name, too.

Yeah, those are steering wheels. I know them well. I have several hundred, never used. There's some nice SNOT on the Millennium Falconesque front manibles...it melds in quite nicely. The only real thing I don't like is the sides of the engine pods have those trailing tiles...the look a bit odd. There's a few small details I'd have changed, but it looks pretty well-done. The greebling is in all the right places! Now, for the next challenge...go studless! -Jail. |

Strange, I do not think that I have ever seen those steering wheels before, are they Technic?

Nope. They've shown up many times lately. Technic ones are much larger. Check out the part here. According to my lists, I own 218 of them in black... These wheels fit onto a stud, and are designed to fit onto these holders. Technic wheels come in small and large, and can be seen here and here, respectively. -Jail. |

And how many Advent Calendars do you own?

I personally bought like 20 of them from my one and only PaB trip a few months ago. Thanks for the comments all! Jail: You don't like the trailing tiles? I admit they serve no purpose, but several people seem to have commented as liking them. Ah well, can't please everyone. |

And how many Advent Calendars do you own? Only 7. And one train shed. ...and some PaB. They were the smallest piece they had at the time to fill in gaps. Why would I leave those spaces empty when they could be packed with pieces, no matter how seemingly useless!? I think I got 202 total from PaB! Jail: You don't like the trailing tiles? I think the reason I don't like them is how they seem to droop and not be very solid. They look weak. If they were more solid looking, it may be different. I really like the overall design. It makes me want to build my own version. Also, the way you've done the whole thing really gives the impression of curves even when they're not there. Because of that, the cockpit looks really nice. -Jail. |

Nice greeble areas and cockpit. I don't really like the tubing that goes over it, but it is well done.
