I'd suggest any lego space fans take a look at Syd Meads design works. He started out in automobile design and for the last few decades has been designing all sorts of neat stuff.. including: -some tron video game vehicle designs and game world... -the "look" of blade runner and several vehciles/props/layouts -Johnny 5 from Short Circuit -And lots of lots of starships in movies such as: 2010, Aliens [USS Sulaco being one of my favorite all time SF designs]. Several of his books is published by Kodansha.. however they are expensive but well worth the money. He is well known in Japan.. he even did designs for various anime projects. Hmm once I get enough grey/white/blue lego elements I think I'll start putting to gether some large scale microfig ships =). Great work Ken!
