Hello, everyone! I just posted a few pictures of my new space carrier, still under construction. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3867 As you can see, the only finished interiors are the bridge, galley, and torpedo room. More pictures will come as I continue to finish this monster. Please tell me what you think of it so far! Dan P.S. Special thanks to Brad Hamilton for taking these pics on his excellent new digital camera! :)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Wow, that thing is HUGE. I love the galley, very slick. Lots of neat details! How many arctic sets did you part out for the exterior windowwalls? (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

Hey Dan, That was fast! Here is another pic of Dan setting up his ship: (URL) thing has awsome engineering besides cool looks. Its super light, but it hardly flexes at all when you pick it up! The few interior rooms that are finished are really (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) WEE HAW!!! I love it! I can see that you're getting on the artic wall kick like me! Well done, Dan! What do you think: Do you prefer the artic walls over bulk brick for this appication? The artic walls cut down on the weight, which lends will (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Very spiffy! (Especially that little round ship in the hangar, which is by definition Spiff-y.) Excellent use of the polar base grey wall units too--it looks like you've kept the structural integrity pretty good along the centre and kept the (...)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Wow, very impressive. I really love the basters/cannons at the ends of the large blue wings. I am kinda supprised that they don't bend the wings down. Makes a guy wish you could get those Artic walls in bulk from shop at home. Keep us posted (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Wow! Seeing discussion on how light the ship is, I'm really interested in how to build big, light, sturdy ships. My stuff always comes out really heavy, but at the same time solid as a rock. Can you possibly bring this to the Michon's if you (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
Wow! Looks awesome Dan! I love the colour scheme (Classic Space), and your usually detail and weapons, and, well... EVERYTHING!!! ;-) Excellent job! (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
That is just plain awesome. I really like the fighter too. I personally do not like the "X-wing" style canopy (I prefere the "A-wing" style) but it looks really good on that fighter. -Mike Petrucelli (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Good stuff, Dan! I see you have the Grand Admiral visiting. :^) Hmm, we'll have to do something about that hair and uniform. That's old skool. I like the mini fighter too. Can't wait to see it in person next month! ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) Dan, I was looking at the galley again on your ship - I like the two woks! (I think they are woks - could be sinks) Anyways - it looks so much like the galley and messa hall on the show Star Stumble Voyager. Very cool... ~Trev Astro Lift Co.

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
Dan, Forget the carrier. It was just good to see you in person again!!! Okay the carrier ROCKS!!! Pure Danielization. The details are just everywhere. Pictures really don't do this justice. I thought about this baby all the way home from the LUG (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar

It appears that you had a visit from the Grand Admiral - though he seems like he needs a hair cut.... ;) The recovery bays seem to be a shade close to the (...)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
(...) You are the man. No one matches your mastery of shape, color, details, and novel construction. Was your microfig carrier a study for this monster? They look a lot alike. Can't wait to see more! - Paul (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: New Carrier - Starship Gibraltar
That's awesome Dan, you definitly have the touch on your carriers. They keep sneaking up on me. The exterior detailing is absoulutely incredible. Well done once again. I love the burp usage btw. (i'm envious too :) Jeb (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)
