G.C.S. Phantom Shrieker,

Thanks.  It weighs about 50 pounds.

I might try building something similar at some point,
although it's probably going to be white since I'm low on black pieces and
painting can get tiresome.

PAINTING !?  (sorry I am one of those that regard painting as Lego heresy)

Well I better get back to work, I'm working on a
website design right now and trying to get things organized.  I'll let
everyone know when I get it updated.

Oh more to see. :-)

PS The big one is a heavy battle cruiser and it actually stores two of the
smaller ships (the ones with the neon green impulse engine and the 6 cannons
in the front) in its cargo bay area, although I may incorporate them into the
outer design of the ship so it has more storage capacity.  The back end is not
actually complete.  If you look close you'll see that the very back middle
section just has a large flat covering.  I've been thinking though that I may
try to do the same thing with the Stealth Falcon and incorporate it into the
back top section of the ship.

Sounds like you will be busy for a while.
