Also, Quest Rams are extremely heavy so they offset the need for additional landing struts. 
I'm going to try some other metals. Iron looked like crap but I have TONS of lead so I did that. I'll be looking at silver and maybe some ore dic alts. Also going to add some covers to the struts so its now all one color all the way down.
Check out the various lead blocks too. I used the dark black one in a new build. It has the texture of an iron block and it's very nice. It may work with Microblocks strips of silver like Dave suggested.
Either way this build is quite literally hypnotic. I feel privileged to have seen it from the beginning. While aesthetically pleasing, that ship contains an equivalent level of technology to match the theme.

Yep that one of the reasons I have not done much with it. I like GT but I don't know it has just been annoying me lately and every time I go to work on it I just lose interest.
Maybe a secondary colour would rise the whole thing a bit more? I mean.. something with microblocks maybe? Or.. cables. Pneumatics for moving the landing gear into the ship. Things like that. I would not express it as drastic as dg9whatshisname but he has a point, in so that it looks a bit pale, in comparison to the rest of the ship. But, knowing you, Im not concerned that this will stay at that. Looking forward to what you come up with. =)
Spaceships rarely have rubber. Google image search for reference. And right now in the build the 4x4 to 2x2 to 4x4 is supposed to look like absorbing section. But obviously I'm failing there. Once the server comes back up I can do something but for now its been down most of the day.
I can see what you're trying to do with the landing gears, in my opinion, the back (I think?) longer one works well, it looks good, but the compressed front one in my opinion needs a bit of a modification, the design your going for doesn't quite work on a shorter scale because it then just looks like a stumpy squat landing gear, instead of a compressed sectioned one which the back one looks like
So I was looking at blocks I can make a good number of and landed on steel is my replacement for lead.

I would have liked to use the darker grey one but you can't make micro blocks form it so I went with the lighter grey. I then added some cobalt and steam engines to make my struts.

I don't think people realize how wide the back of my ship is.
