I was wondering how some of the minifig spaceship creators here like designing their ship bridges. Most Lego ships only have small one-man cockpits, with a little computer console or some levers. My own ship under construction, the Nautilus ((URL) (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

Paul, (...) I actually do have a mock up bridge I built a few years ago around. It is fairly large, it has a captains chair, two seats next to him, two console in front, a view screen, a few lights for the various alerts, a back row of computer (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I have two designs which I use. The first is a two-person cockpit using the trans-orange 6 high convex windows. The base is roughly 8 x 10 studs. The control panels are set at a 45 degree slant using tilt bearing hinges, a 2 x 10 plate and (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

I believe that LEGO spaceships _never_ have enough terminals in them. I have a MOC stuntfighter (sort of based on the [really, really old] 6861 X-1 Patrol Craft) which uses both an old-style monitor brick and a control brick, as well as a pair of (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I doubt I was the first. :) You may be interested in an RTL thread, from Dec-96/Jan-97. It was started by a clueless newbie who just got a 6958 Android Base, and was excited about the dome pieces. Actually, I wasn't that new, I just didn't (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.space)
