I'm sure some of you have seen this gem, but since its debut over the weekend on
MOCPages it has been buried under a heap of steaming bionicle. Check out the
8ft of in-your-face action!

I've traded emails with the 'creator' Ed, he's a lurker who needs to come out of
the closet, so let him have it.

btw-I've already given him crap about the trans-red turret.

That is one <expletive deleted since LUGNET asked me to be polite> awesome MOC.
I love the angluler look and feel. If this is a taste of what's to come, I'm
excited.

I don’t want to exaggerate, but this is probably THE coolest LEGO spaceship I
have seen since witnessing the glory of Ken Takeuchi’s microfig fleet and Joel
Kuester’s Infinity, a couple of years back.
I say this because this ship is just so focused in its design and has no glaring
mistakes or extraneous bits. Perfect model to “get inspiration” (read: copy)
from.
Wow.
I like it even more, not because it fits my own aesthetic of studlessness, but
because it also repeatedly features a favourite form of mine, the triagular
pyramid.
Awesome stuff, methinks it will inspire even greater creations.

When I saw this over the weekend I kept hoping Ed would post here so I could let
him know how fantastic I think this MOC is. Thanks for pointing out that there
is a mocpage for it (I should start visiting that site).
I am completely in awe at the simple, clean yet very well defined features of
it. The studlessness, oh the studlessness! It is a Naval Space Destroyer in
every since.
Here is the bad. You had little room to work with in the hanger bay so I
understand you had to keep the fighters and the shuttle as small as possible.
However, I think you could have done better with them. Something a la "Desk
Fighter" or other Dan Jassim's fighters with foldable wings and the shuttle
could have been something like the Enterprise shuttle pods. Maybe it was lack
of parts or just lack of energy after such an amazing MOC. I am very impressed
that you could fit 2 fighters and a shuttle.
Great job.
David.

Ed, this is pretty awesome. It's cheeky to see you call this a destroyer when
most other sorts would call it a Capital ship. I can see it more as a destroyer,
and I'd like to build something similar, maybe in a different life where I have
fewer responsibilities.
Plus, you have to love something that carres folding wing fighters. Folding wing
fighters rock.
Thanks,
George

This ship is easily one of the best ever. It is up there with the bastions of
SHIP glory - Dan Jassim’s Dragonstar, the Osiris,
Keith Goldman’s Dune
Worm, Chris Giddens’ Vanguard, and Adrian Drake’s
Tribunal.
But I have beef with this thing. And that beef is the lack of quality photos!!
I would like to see a proper treatment done of this ship, akin to how Dan did
photos of the Dragonstar. First, several pictures of the outside hull from a
variety of views, and then an overview of the interior, and a breakdown of each
interior room. A masterwork of this stature demands no less!!
Excellente and Bravo!! I can’t wait for better photos of this!!

I like the ship a lot but I’m with Lenny that it needs some better pics.
Also, someone mentioned in my blog
that he’s using clones in it and it looks like it’s true. I wonder how much of
it is clone.

The caption about Crewman Wildman in engineering is hilarious!! (Of course
officially I have to be offended.) ;]

Out of the thousand of bricks that it probably took to build this I spotted only
a few clone bricks and they were used in bulkheads and other structural
elements. I wouldn’t slight him for this since it was probably a choice between
paying for more brick or using filler from a clone pile.

Let me add my praise, especially of some of the angular structures. The bridge
and the blue wedge are bit unconventional and neat, and I really like the tail
and engines. The whole ship has a bit of a classic space feel to me. On the
other hand, I have a hard time recognizing how the interior bits fit together,
though they seem well done.

Yes I did use a few ‘clone’ bricks as I ran out of bricks that were grey and 2x2
or 2x4. The ship needs a lot of then to tie various parts of the panelling
together, for choice I wouldn’t use them and if I can fid some ways around that
I’ll probably remove them.

Thanks to Keith for starting this thread and thanks to all for the kind comments
and helpful suggestions both here and on MOC pages. I have made some
modifications already based on the comments, but am not planning on doing too
much as this was mainly a test bed for the better MOC to come! I have got some
better (I hope) photographic equipment and am just off now to take some better
pictures. So if you want to see more keep an eye on MOC pages and Lugnet as I
will be putting them up soon.

What I find so impressive is how the MOC comes together and works as a complete
whole within the shell of the ship. Escape pods, extendable docking hatch, and
engineering are just fantastic. For what it is worth, I would suggest a bridge
that is similar to the Bird of Prey from Star Trek Search for Spock which would
work with the V shape - stations running along the inside of the V with a single
raised station in the middle for close supervision.
