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.

Jumpin’ Gehosiphat! This rendition rocks! :D
Love the missle tubes, think there should be more crew quarter space (Although
there probably is and we just can’t see it with the limited pics).
The landing gear is very good...very clean lines when it all pulls into place. I
would imaging that it would land only when it is in the condensed mode. BUT, I
love the way that this ship has built display stands! :)
Very submarine-ish. This one belongs on the Shipyard....if Jon would update it,
that is. ;)

Thanks Trevor, actually I did consider having more than four bunks, but given that there's no easy way for the fighter pilots to transfer from their fighters to the main craft, I just figured that the ship wouldn't deploy for long enough for (...)
