HSF Sideswipe

My submission for the Lego Fan Club's Ausust build challenge! I promise it's the real submission this time!

The HSF Sideswipe is a fast-attack gunship designed to perform hit-and-run attacks on enemy capital ships and space stations. Armed with one primary hull-mounted particle cannon, two secondary turret-mounted particle cannons, and one concealed missile pod, the ship can destroy other capital ships in seconds with it's cannons while defending against fighters, torpedoes, and ballistic missiles with it's missile system. I chose to go with blue detailing rather than my usual red, partly to break things up a bit and also because I had the right parts in that color (why dig for red ones when there are blue ones right there?)

The theme was sci-fi vehicles, which I chose because I figured it would give lots of room for people to build what they want and are good at, while still making for a fun competition. Sorry it took so long to post this, it's been done for a a day but I've been waiting for good outdoor photography conditions (it's been fairly overcast lately and the ship is too large for the camera's flash to light evenly)
