This SHIP started in 2002 as an experiment to build a click-hinge based
cylinder, and eventually became a composite of various SNOT and non-standard
building techniques. I don’t have any cool sci-fi backstory about the origin or
purpose of the vessel, so I’ll just leave that ambiguous. It is definitely not
minifig scale. I figure a human would stand about 2-3 plates tall at this scale.
The length is 153 studs (47.6 in)(120.9 cm) and it is obnoxiously heavy.

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,

In my eyes it's definitely an interstellar explorer vessel, the front 'disc' being the habitation area (making humans *at most* two plates high), maybe even a detachable flying saucer?
