Great work Paul!
I like the new nose alot, it gives it a heavier feel than before and there’s
alot more detail on this version too. The four thrusters on each side are very
cool. My favourite are the torpedo hatches though.
The interior detail is sweet. I love the torpedo room! The interior has a
submarineish look to it, I like that. I think it’s the grates on the floor that
do it.
The whole thing reminds me of a space shuttle, relatively small crew area up
front and then heaps of cargo space and the engines in behind.
Great job Paul!

This is another older MOC which underwent a major remodelling last year,
primarily to improve interior detail. It stemmed originally from a pile of
discounted which inspired a crazy plan to buy 20 of them
and build a fleet of fighters from the contents (among other things). Having
carried most of that plan out, I resorted to Bricklink for the large number
of triple-slope wedges to beautify the fighter nacelles. They weren’t a
hugely popular part - a nice final development for what was originally a
fairly insane project.
The structural component I’m most happy about is the landing gear, which is
very sturdy. Actually it’s all very sturdy - you can pick the whole thing
up by the front section... and the landing gear clicks in and out nicely with
the help of Technic shocks. I’ll post a pic of a structural mock-up later...
there wasn’t an easy way to partially dismantle the ship to show it directly.
I’ve included some builders notes to explain some features, but feel free to
ask more questions. I’m considering building other modules for it, but the
trouble is I can’t have them all attached at once.
Cheers,
