Ship Technique

So I have just started Lego and would like to know some techniques used to make spacehsips.
It would be helpful, Thanks

When it comes to Star Wars ship`s I usually study the ship I want to make, look up more pictures of it, think of how to build it, get out the pieces and build. The hardest part is the tecinque of building the shape of the ship, but I`m sure people will gladly help you out if you get stuck on something.

Thanks man i'll give that a try.

Havent buillt anything in a long time so anything i build is gonna suck,

Not really worried about the shape but instead the whole layout of the thing like what brick goes where and what happens if i run out of a certain type of brick or something. Anyway gonna give it a go

Thanks
Ryan

Don`t say it will suck! You haven`t even built it yet. :)

Gonna buy a few small sets and make a small ship to begin with and when i get better at building im gonna do something a little more complex. Yeah its gonna sucks, i will attempt a ship and end up with a box with some wings

That used to happen to me(it happens to most of us), but over time I got better. I think you will get better at it too. :)

My first ship looked more like a boat

That happened to me too.

Mine looked like an Airplane. I Think if you think you can, you will, eventually. Just like Henry Ford said, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."

Mine looked somewhat like a moon buggy then a U-Boat. And since when do you quote Henry Ford? (We need a tongue icon)

I honestly don't know... But if his automobile business is this successful, than anyone can make a Star Wars MOC. I haven't really made a Star Wars MOC. After my WIP is done on LDD I'll make one.
