I am never able to wait until the model is finished before I post, so here is another almost done model. I haven't finished a lot of the internal details and the rear portion around the engines still needs work too, but the overall shape is evident. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey, that's pretty cool. The studs out design made the shape of this ship. I like how it looks pointed from above, but from the side it looks very strait and skinny. Allthough I'm not sure I like the dark gray tiles on top. Is that a landing pad? As (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey Kyle! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, those dark gray tiles are the landing pad. I had a hard time picking a color scheme for this. I'm planning on using the basic design to create a cruiser, destroyer, etc... so I wont need to worry about the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well, kinda both. More "like" than "Yamato", but it's still a strong influence. Micro is allready done: (URL) has a long way to go: (URL) _might_ ;-) have some more pics of the second if you were to email me :-D. --Kyle (URL) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey Jon! Fair enough. The design is much more straight forward than some of my previous models. The construction is also pretty simple while taking advantage of some of the newer parts. I guess this model was more about obtaining a shape I had (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

I think this one has merit Pat, particularily for it's fidelity to the 70's anime ship aesthetic. Poking around the several Yamato/Starblazers referrence sites, it struck me that the designs of the time are curving, bulbous lots, often resembling (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey Joel! Yeah, I cant blame you for getting your hopes up when I mention the great Ken-tucky. I would agree that this is not my most impressive model by any means but my intent was not really to impress. I was looking to create a medium sized Star (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Gil! Yeah, you can never tell when it comes to matters of taste. Curved lines as we all know are hard to do in LEGO, even harder in smallish designs with fewer parts. I always like challenging myself in this way. Building this model was also (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Very cool ship! I like the overall shape of it. The color scheme is...descent (white and dark gray just don't look good together, OMHO) What pieces did you use for the interior part of the rockets? Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Thanks Nathan! I used a technic axle to hold the assembly together. Tjhe rest is made up of 2x2x1 rounds, 4x4x1 rounds, the light gray tires and the dark gray parts inside the wheels. Thats about it. I'm planning on adding a lot of detail to the (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) hmmm... actually, one of the things that I like about your past ships is that you never really seemed to be trying to out-do anything, just make solid creative designs. What I mean is that most of the joy was in their poetic use of geometry (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
