When I am finally done, I am going to take pictures of it - definitely!
There are too many new ideas in it that I want to document. It has a two man
cockpit, crew quarters for four, ops station, four cryo chambers, four escape
pods, and two mission specific vehicles. I have sections of it in LDraw. My
goal is to put the whole thing in LDraw as soon as all of the parts are
available.
I have structural beams running along the bottom of the ship right now, but it
won't support it's own weight yet. Once I am able to attach landing gear, I
will add a few more supports and the retractable cargo ramps and enclose the
whole thing. Still lots of work left though.
Let me know if you have any cool engine ideas too. I haven't been giving much
thought to how this monster is going to be powered.
