Thanks!
The different sections of the ship are very sturdy. I have had no problems
with cave-ins or anything (without the removable floors insalled, the ship is
essentially hollow) but there is no way I could lift it all as one peice.
I have no way to weigh it right now, but I am confident it would be at least
60 or 70 pounds with all the inner walls installed.
It is well over 7 feet long so I made it modular, so that it comes apart in 3
main sections.
The front section splits apart with hinges so that the bay can be accessed (I
will eventually have pictures of this) and the white half-cylinders on the
sides of the crew section also pop off to access the rear of the ship.
The white section on top of the ship also lifts off and the second story
seperates so both levels are accessable. The black roof of the control room
also lifts off.
I wish I could say otherwise, but this ship rates a solid zero on the Whoosh-
Factor scale. (Unless you run past it really quickly)
I know this is going to sound nuts, but the next capital ship I am building
will be quite a bit bulkier and probably longer. I only used 3/4th of my blue
and black bricks for this project. My next ship will incorporate more color,
too. But that is still months away from completion, so I will shut up about
it :)
cheers!
