Andrew,
Thanks.. I just about used up all of my hinge bricks in making this.  It is
funny how I've got so many.. hardly ever use them, and then one project and
I have a moment where I think: 'great now, I gotta go to bricklink and get
more!'

The red stripe around it is cool.  Good job with the interior.  I like the
greebling, too.

The color is such an easy thing to do and helps so much with giving the ship
shape and interest. I can't believe I didn't do it in earlier pieces.  the
Interior and greebling are my favorite parts!  The ship is almost a shell
for detail on the outside and the inside.

Again, thanks for the kinda remarks!

"Duvernay" a Anthropological Research Starship, studying feral humans.  It
is the Karalehn Industries Akins Class, Proxia.


note: this is the 2nd version of this ship.  It has gone from three decks to
one. I realized I was trying to do too much all at once.  I think this is
the first thing i've made with some serious greebling. I think it turned out
well.

* the 8x8 radar dishs on the sides are planetary sensors that hold up during
hyperspace traveling.  They feature one of the seed parts for this month.
* there are two engine systems: a hyperspace one (the two nacelles off the
back) and the thrusters (for sub-light speeds, maneuvering in a starsystem-
the three red ones)
* the black thing on the back is the retractable solar panel than generates
power for the engines.
* eight crew members of six anthropologists and two to run the ship.

criticism, ideas, questions, thoughts, off topic ramblings.. all welcome
