Hey everybody -
I've been working for a while on a large spaceship [1]. It'll probably be a
while before I get that done, but in the meantime I've built a shuttlecraft
that'll go with it:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=24824
The single largest factor influencing the design was that it has to fit into
the shuttlebay of the larger ship - which is 22 studs deep and has an
opening that is 14 studs wide by 12 bricks tall. I wanted it to carry at
least 6 figs and a small amount of gear comfortably. And since it is meant
to fly through atmosphere and land on a planet, it needed wings and landing
gear.
I'm quite happy with the way it turned out - it's a solid and swooshable
little ship. So what do y'all think?
- Paul
[1] Is it a capital ship? It's about 120 studs long, built for extended
voyages of exploration, with a crew of 11 (plus 8 or 9 droids). It can land
and take off again (though it rarely does - that's what the shuttle is for),
and it (obviously) carries at least one smaller spacecraft.

| I think this is great Paul. It's so simple (totally in a good way)...non-engreebled, nice clean colours, great straightforward functionality. The whoosh factor is definately high. It's just...cool. Looking forward to seeing the final assemblage. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)

| (...) snip (...) snip That ship is GREAT!--simple strong design & lots of features. Can we see a pic of the underside, to see how the landing gear works? you seem to have a very efficient & well designed landing solution. I especially like the roomy (...)
