Currently I am _trying_ to make a microfig or nanofig model the
"Defiant" from Star Trek Deep Space 9. I do it in MLCad, not for real. I
started with the bridge and started building somewhere in the middle.
Then I put parts on top and under the base, but all mixed up. So a
filter that can sort out all the same y coordinates could generate
separate steps would be very nice. Then you can clearly see if all parts
fit, while stepping through every "layer" of plates and bricks, building
up
I am also making an attempt at Deep Space Nine, the station that is. All
in some "nanofig" scale...
The difficulty is the 30 and 60 degree angles and round shape of the
thing.
To the model group: has anyone ever tried to do a "Defiant" or "DS9". I
am planning to do a Runabout too, since I have already made an
Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Just recently I saw a nice Klingon ship in LEGO
somewhere and being a fan of Star Trek and LEGO I thought of building
some things from ST.
Greetingz...
