I tried to make this ship a logical progression from
LL918, LL924, LL928, hence the LL930 name.  I followed
patterns established by the "Trinity" like this
throughout the planning - the number of thrusters: 1,
2,4,8 - number of trans-yellow windscreens: 1,2,3,4 -
stands: 3,4,5,6 etc.

I couldn't get decent pictures of the inside of the
middle compartment, but it's sort of a mini version
of the inside of the base in http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6970
with bunk-beds, a table and chairs, and computer.  Also,
there's access to the second compartment from the cockpit,
unlike in LL928 (which I find very annoying) :)

There's a couple aspects that I'm not totally pleased with,
but I really can't think of something better - please feel
free to give suggestions.  Criticism is fine as long as you
provide a possible improvement :)  I guess I need a name for
it too - Galaxy Expedition?  Excursion? :)

Also, check out my son Peter (2.5 years old) playing with "our"
Classic Space Lego :)

Nice Model!!


The other progression (which you addressed) is the increasing size of the cargo
area.  Very nice.  The ship has elements and design lines of both the LL924 and
the LL928 that suggest a common parentage.  Cool.

The only thought I have is about ship numbers.

Wouldn't the next ship be LL934?  I see the progression something like this.

LL914
LL918
LL924
LL928
LL934
LL938

Or have I spent way to much time thinkking about it?  :0)

(...) Thanks! Yes, I forgot to mention the cargo area - LL918 is 4 studs wide, then 6,8 and finally 10 in my model. I also borrowed one idea from LL918 - the crew area (the middle compartment) roof is side hinged like the 918 cockpit. (...) I hadn't (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.space)
