I finally got around to taking some pictures of a bunch of MOCs sitting on my
shelves. The first is the OSS Audrey, a mid-size science cruiser serving the
New Omicron Republic (my little Lego universe)
<<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jpelletier1977/OSS-Audrey/oss-audrey-01.jpg>>
Bricklink folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=126107
The details:
-crew of 22, commanded by Captain Hillary Ronson and including 4 Marines
-1 support craft capable of scouting planetary systems
-3 decks;
-heavily armored, but lightly armed (besides the starboard and port low yield
plasma weapons, there is a big ol' retractable gun beneath the bridge which is
mighty powerful, although if its taken out in combat the ship is pretty much
done for)
Deck A (upper):
-transporter room, science bay
Deck B (middle)
-bridge, officer quarters (double bunked), life support, navigation control,
weapons control, sickbay, bathroom, crew quarters, the captain's quarters, and
engineering
Deck C (lower)
-hydroponics, repair shop, mess hall, shuttlebay
Construction notes & personal commentary:
Most of the ship opens up to allow for access to the interior which is something
I find pretty important (and difficult with larger designs). There is a pretty
nifty double articulated hinge which opens up over the bridge as well. The
engine nacelles can be jettisoned and are a smaller version of the ones I first
used on the OSS Pastier (link: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=37961 ) and I
think they work a lot better on this particular ship.
The support craft was designed to fit into the space which gave it severe
limitations design-wise. Its my least favorite part of the ship, but it works
well enough given the restrictions.
The idea behind the ship was that it was one of the surviving members of a fleet
escaping their home world; hence the acceptance of crowding a crew that size
onto a ship this small.
Comments and constructive criticism ALWAYS welcome.

| (...) Jeff, You have been busy, two awesome MOCs in one day. I like the way you provided access to the interior with the white and blakc hinges, it makes it much easier to see inside. Great details too, the bridge, the sick bay. Thanks, George (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space)

| (...) I marvel at your skills with interior design and interior access. The engines do work better on this than on the Pastier, but the very ends could be done better. The other engine (the orange dish in the rear) is also a bit simplistic, but it's (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| WOW, I'm astounded that the ship holds that many mini-fig! ...and this (URL) pic> is so awesome! Cool design and well thought out! Glad you had a chance to share it. thanks, e (20 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Um, I do not know where to start... I am stunned. This is a beautiful piece of work. What I like the most is that you maintain a Lego block like shape without allowing it to detract from the smoothness of the design in any way. And the interior (...)

| I love the shape. I think the engine needs more detail though. I'm not sure if I like the color scheme, It almost needs to be all black (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.space)
