Well after many, many, many problems I was finally able to get a few pictures
of my models and I scanned them...as well as some of the models. And you can
look at them here: http://www.angelfire.com/oh3/legoinstructions/index.html
I did have a lot of close up shots but apparently my camera doesn't take close
up shots well as the majority of them turned out blurry and icky. Tomorrow
I'll try taking some more pictures and seeing if I can't get some good close
ups. The large ship in the picture is 90 bricks long, 62 bricks wide, and the
front section is a remodeled version of the classic Cosmic Fleet Voyager,
undoubtedly my favorite Lego design of all time. A design I love so much I
can actually build the original model completely from memory as I have built
it hundreds of times and ways since I first got it as a kid. So anyway I hope
you all enjoy my designs, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I
will try and get some better images though because the ones I have right now
don't look so good.

Well after a few days of work I threw together some webpages for my pics,
added some extra stuff, and there is more to come! Check it out.
http://www.spicyworld.com/amateurs/moulton/index.html
Suggestions are welcome! I still have to finish my main logo, and the
description, armament, propulsion information is actually going to be
redesigned so that when you move the mouse on the ship name it'll show up as
an image on the same page, gotta play with the image sizes though first, find
something suitable that works well.
PS in case you're wondering the reason I chose spicyworld as a home for my
site was that it lets you upload multiple files at one time, it's free, and
there's no spam, so you can't really complain. :)

Yah, it's pretty light, but the bottom is incredibly solid. In the past I
used to try building large ships like the ones you did but whenever I tried to
pick them up...BOOM...pieces everywhere. That's a good challenge though
trying to build one solid and stable enough without the use of any large bulk
pieces. You had some really neat models on your page, I really liked the The
G.C.S. Phantom Shrieker, I might try building something similar at some point,
although it's probably going to be white since I'm low on black pieces and
painting can get tiresome. Well I better get back to work, I'm working on a
website design right now and trying to get things organized. I'll let
everyone know when I get it updated.

PS The big one is a heavy battle cruiser and it actually stores two of the
smaller ships (the ones with the neon green impulse engine and the 6 cannons
in the front) in its cargo bay area, although I may incorporate them into the
outer design of the ship so it has more storage capacity. The back end is not
actually complete. If you look close you'll see that the very back middle
section just has a large flat covering. I've been thinking though that I may
try to do the same thing with the Stealth Falcon and incorporate it into the
back top section of the ship.

Well that's why you try to make it better. :) Mine is actually a modified
CFV, the nose is a lot different (bottom of it needs work though), and I tried
to be more consistent in going from smaller to larger, but now looking at my
overhead I see where I need to make it a bit more round in the front middle
section, and perhaps wider and the front rear section. I've always been of
the opinion that Lego has some nice ideas (this being one of my favorites) but
all of Legos ideas can be improved upon. You know the little ship on the
bottom of my page? That's a modified 6894 Blacktron Invader, modified again
and again to where it looks a lot better, but that's where the idea came
from. Actually though not all of my ship designs come from Lego, the Falcon
is actually modeled after the E-vac in Aliens, at least the front end.
Personally what I thought was REALLY ugly about the original CFV was the
colors...ick...but that's just me. :)

Wow! That's heavy...hmmm...I've never actually weighed mine though, think
I'll try doing that. Does like a normal bathroom scale work okay?

:) Well it's okay if you can't tell the difference. Model paint works the
best, you can make em look completely authentic, but it's expensive and you
don't get much. I like using Partha paints because they are very non
permanent but still look okay for esthetics. I always like my ships to look
uniform and consistent...don't think the big ship would look as good if the
hulls were brown and looked like boats pieces...he he he...

Yup, I have more ships too that I'm gonna try scanning, also workin on getting
some better pictures (most of the actually pictures I got were REALLY fuzzy).
I'm also going to make some scans of my older brothers stuff and we are
feverishly trying to come up with names for all these ships. The big one will
be called either the Behemoth, or the Juggernaut....but at this point it's
undecided.

Yup, sometimes projects of mine can last several months to a year. I've
actually built that big ship several times, the first design was all one
section though and the back looked sorta like the millennium falcon, and it
had two Cosmic Fleet Voyagers on the front, I then moved to a smaller one with
just one CFV, and actual nacelles but it was still much smaller than the
current one. And then the current one is my latest design. I have thought
about making the nacelle front ends CFV's and then doing something else for
the front middle section...hmmm...gosh I love Legos! Completely limitless
possibilities. :)
