(URL) (Click image for more) Pictures were taken outdoors because it barely fits on my desk, let alone my photo backround. Just over 100 studs long. Enjoy! Soren (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !!

(...) Wow. Very nice. The overall shape is very familiar, yet original. Nice job on the exterior greebles/sensors/weapons. Looks great. I especially like the way a splash of white and dk red contrast the grey and yellow. On to the interior, I love (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) (URL) I just took the basic shape and went from there. It took a long time to get the angles on the lower hull right but it was worth it. Guns and greebs are my specialties.

Wow, Soren, I just saw it on brickshelf, and I want the same! This ship is pure goodness! Smooth, studless, but it doesn't look like it was "forced" to be this way. I love the color scheme, the way colors are found on the ship : some bits of yellow (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

loving it! just enough studs to remind you that it's lego, bristling with implements of unpleasantness... and I particularly like the tiny cabin. it looks to me like there's the captain, his (her?) first mate, and that's about it for crew, (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Very nice Soren. I'm interested to see how this thing will look next to the Zhukov (which is 112 studs, with similiar mission). So far it looks like there is going to be a nice selection of big ships at fest! Perhaps I could ask a favor? Could (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Soren, beautiful moc! I love all the greebling in contrast to the smooth sides, and the underside tapering looks very sweet. It's a SHIP! That in itself is an awesome feat.

Hey Soren Pardon me for waiting so long to post, I just had to see the thing in person before I gave my opinion about it. This is a great addition to your pirate theme, very sleek and well-turned.
