Nuju Metru Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) This warship was my holiday project... since I was separated from my normal assortment of fantasy parts, I opted to build something that I don't normally build: a spaceship. I had tremendous fun overcoming certain challenges while building this huge thing. I worked, by necessity, almost entirely with pre-2014 bricks. Building in a color scheme of scarce colors forced me to get more creative on many instances. I'm pretty satisfied with the end result, here, considering my limitations. Here are some things you probably can't tell from these pictures alone: --The cargo bay doors slide simultaneously open on both sides when you turn the click-jointed axle stopper above them. --A panel attached to the observation dome can be removed to showcase the command deck inside. --The hangar bay doors open on both sides, and the "Orestes" small fighters can be stashed in there. --The plasma turrets rotate (okay, maybe you could tell on that one). Thanks for looking! I appreciate your feedback. Edited January 11, 2017 by Black Six 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta-metru_defender Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 SPACESHIP. Really digging your use of color here, set against the gray things just pop. There's a part of me that wants the bridge to have a viewscreen of sorts, but, I suppose this one primarily runs on sensors. I like your 'action features' so to speak, any plans on putting up pics of those?

Master Inika Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Nice job! It's so well-made I have a hard time believing you don't normally build spaceships. It looks like something an experienced space MOCist would make. Keep building. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

The Invisible Handman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I very much like the choice of colours and the boxish shape of this spaceship. It's a real treat to behold. Great build Quote {Brickshelf Page - BZPRPG Profile - HFRPG Profile - Project Protodermis Profile} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiriamu Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 It is a sweet build; did you have any sort of inspiration, or was it more based on what you had available?

Pohaturon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 That sure is one unique spaceship design. I can't even place it in a specific era of sci-fi, as it has a bit of the greebly retro aesthetic, but it also blends modern elements, without the two clashing. The functionality is also great, and the color scheme is fantastic. Awesome! Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Nuju, I think your system builds may just be better than your constraction MoCs. I beg of you, save some awesome for the rest of us. xP 1 Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts.
