Thanks, I actually didn't intend to build such a large ship, but after an
hour or so of building the back it became apparent that it was going to be
neccesary. I decided then to build it in three pieces so that I could
concentrate on one section at a time. It's quite different than it started
out, but I was pleased with the results.

I actually made the minifigs several months ago... :) I put together about
twenty different "spacy" minifigs and my original vision of Kirk and Myra
where aliens trying to disguise themselves as humans. Wher Kur was always
meant to be a labor droid... I like playing around with different things for
heads. While I was building the ship I decided I was gonna need some
minifigs to populate it so I dug into my box o' figs and decided on those four.
As for the story, I always make up stories for my creations when I'm
building them... my shrink tells me it's part of my obsessive compulsive
disorder ;)
Anyway, glad you liked it!

Hehe.. I understand completely. My freighter is turning out that way.. it
was 'supposed' to be just as long as the 4 Falcon/Saucer sections as they
are in the pics, but then I opted to lengthen it since I realized I DID have
enough red brick laying around to pull it off.. though I'm pretty much
tapped out on grey plates ATM. I just can't bring myself to disassemble the
other MOC's that I've built recently, but haven't got posted, yet.

Minifigs make the universe go 'round!! :)

Nah.. that's just part of LEGO - what good is building if there isn't some
day dreaming to go along with it? Unless you're building something that's a
reflection of Real Life, and all, of course. Even then it's fun. :)
Imagination is good for the soul. :)

You haven't anything to worry about, there. That thing really is awesome -
it's even better the second time around. :)
