Legendary Valkyrian slayer of evil. The counterpart to the demonic Dungeonboss I built a while ago, Astrid is a holy warrior of light. She was inspired by the completely impractical armored dress designs of various anime characters, mainly Saber from the Fate/stay night series, but also by Norse mythology and a particular power metal album. The teepee part was what started the build and it may or may not make the dress look a bit big, but I think the end result was worth it. Thanks for taking a look, your comments and criticism are greatly appreciated! PS. This is my entry for this month's Flickr contest.

Large, fast and strong, the boxy design of the Valkyrie would soon become the Legonian standard for ship design. Featuring a powerful FTL engine, two hangar bays, a large cargo hold and various defensive items, the Valkyrie-class is widely considered to be the best ship in the Republican fleet. ---------------- So, the Valkyrie. This bad boy is roughly 635-650 pieces large (accounting for misclicks resulting in pieces going inside of the ship's skeleton, the Valkyrie was just a little bit of an experiment in greebling, SNOT techniques, better design and, of course, making something incredibly large. The ship's body (not accounting for that large antenna at the front) is roughly 48 modules long and (not accounting for the control tower) about 5-7 modules tall, give or take. The whole thing has only three (exterior) colors; dark red, phosperant white and black, though a little bit of bright red might still be located on the inside. I decided to not bother with covering up the top studs, since it might make the body look a little too disproportionate for my taste. I don't know, that slope really does make a difference.
