Announcing the launch of my first capital ship, humbly submitted for your
perusal: the Starship Intrepid!

14 crewmen, 7 droids, three decks, two shuttles, two escape pods, roughly 2
1/2 feet long with saucer sep capability and multiple warp cores. Lots other
stuff too!

The 19 pics are really big (and a kinda fuzzy; i took 'em with my manual
Nikon camera) so be patient if you have a slow connection.

Let me know what you think!

I really like it! In fact, I think it's one of the more awesome ships posted
here on LUGNET. The saucer section is cool, and the shuttles are also neat.
Nice interior detail. Hope to see more like this from you in the future.

PS: Ironically, as soon as finished shooting it and filming a virtual tour
with the help of girlfriend Jill, the ship met an ignoble end all over the
kitchen floor due to improper docking of the two main sections. Alas, she
lives on in photographs!

That must have been very disapointing. Are you going to put the virtual tour
on the Internet?

PPS: Thanks to Dan Jassim, Jon Palmer, Kyle Keppler, Mark Sandlin and
several others whose designs provided inspiration for several elements of
this ship.

I must admit to some curiosity. Did my David Battlcruiser
(http://www.ozbricks.com/ulfstarforce/UnitedLFWEB/starforceorionc.htm)
influence the Intrepid any? The David has a shuttlebay very similiar to
yours, and it uses the same deck-separation methid as your ship.

Always glad to see more capital ships added to the LEGO Comuunity!

P.S. Your post doesn't seem to be in lugnet.space, which might account for
the small amount of reply posts. Perhaps you should repost it.


Curt-

Thanks for the kind words. Im surprised i've never seen your ship before,
and there are so many similarities between our designs! do you have any
ships on Jim Palmer's shipyard?

by the way, i will repost this message, this is my first MOC announcement so
i wasnt sure where to put it
