Here’s a microscale battleship (aka Maritime Museum) that I was working on as a Factory entry. It was rejected within hours of being uploaded :( but thought I’d share it here!

The hull shaping is 1/2 plate offset SNOT with sliding tiles to shape the sheer. Structure is nice and solid in RL, though I would have liked it if the Factory “pallet”(te) had included a few additional useful pieces. A few things are next to impossible to get “snapped” in factory but it went together pretty quickly once I figured out what I was doing.

Now that the competition regs aren’t a factor, I can stretch it out for a more scale-like appearance. Anyone for a microscale fleet?

(...) Very nice! I built microscale ships when I was younger, haven't had a chance to build any recently. There is a microscale Enterprise someone built, I need to build some cruisers and destroyers to escort it! Joel (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.boats, FTX)

Matthias, Nice work, do you know why it was rejected?? Seems a little odd to me, as 8x32 designs have been allowed in the Lego Factory contest. And... I agree, we need more of these, I may even try my hand at one of these :) Thanks for sharing. Mark (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.boats, FTX)
