It's a Variation on a theme. What you'd get if you "upgraded" the Starfleet
Voyager.
I'll build something more original later.

Dang it Todd? Dang it Mark! If you get votes for every entry, you'll be
deciding the winner of the contest! Be careful...you can't vote for yourself,
so if you have too many entries you might not be able to win! :)

Nice job!
Now I need to find some ideas and some time...guess who's homework won't get

Mine? Dunno, just a guess ;-)

Thanks Paul,
But who's to say you couldn't make that too? Maybe there are a number of
variations based on the Starfleet platform. ;^)

Yeah, here's another:
http://www.hafhead.com/lego/myspace/clvoy2/index.html
I'm not sure if this is eligible, as I made it a couple of months ago.
Also, I'd like to make some minor tweaks to get rid of the more modern
pieces (trans-antifreeze bits on the engines, corrugated bricks, and a
couple of others). Also the front end isn't terribly convincing as a real
Lego model.

DOH!
I knew you'd built one, Tony. But I didn't realize I gave mine the same
name!
I've always liked yours anyway. Sort of a "cargo" version of the ship. I
don't mind the front end, since I don't think it necessarily needs all the
radar dishes and antennas, etc.

The name was pretty obvious... a definite descendant of both the Starfleet
Voyager and the Galaxy Explorer.
Oh, and I got dibs on the Starfleet Commander name!
But if we all try to stay highly classic, including naming conventions,
we're probably going to have a lot of name conflicts. I don't think this is
a problem.

Thanks! I'd say yours is a lot more true to the original, with all the same
paraphenaphenalalilalia (never could spell that right, but da**it- it's the
word I'm looking for!) On the other hand, I always removed most of those
from my Starfleet Voyager anyway.
I love the fact that you used the proper clear blue 1x4x1's for the cargo
pod window- much more traditional than, say, a 1x4x3 thin-wall. Seems like
it should be blue with yellow windows, though- it's almost exactly like the
All-Terrain Vehicle's cargo pod. Seems like some slight modifications to
the ship would let you use a compatible pod... hmm...

I almost called it that, but then I decided it wasn't enough of a "command"
ship. :^)

Heh. I took inspiration from that pod. I thought about leaving a hole in the
center-top of the rear hatch so I could attach a dish that would poke out,
but I decided against it.
I never did like how the All-Terrain Vehicle mixed blue and yellow windows,
tho.
You know, we should get together sometime soon and do a collaborative CS
vehicle. :^)

Cool! -- It's bigger and a bit more "tough" looking. Kinda a cross between
the Starfleet Voyager and the FX-Star Patroller, with a detachable module
in the spirit of the All-Terrain Vehicle. Very nice!

Old stuff is OK -- as long as you still have pictures of it, which you do. :-)
