Hey everybody -

Finished at last  :-)

She's a medium freighter that's been converted into a long-range exploration
ship and outfitted with everything a crew needs for those long trips.

I've posted far too many pictures. There's a second page:

Credit where credit is due. I've been inspired by/stolen ideas from the
following folks:

4D/8D radar dishes, chairs - Paul Hartzog
toilets - Steve Runnels
gonk droid - Eric Kingsley
fleebnork - Mark Sandlin
salad bar, general inspiration - Dan Jassim

...and probably others.

Let me know what you think!

Fantastic ship;  the form, colors & style are all well thought out.  The
interior is superb; efficient, but not to small rooms & 4-wide beds.  I like
seeing 4-wide beds, as 2-wide really doesn't support the whole mini-fig; I
imagine they get tired of holding their arms up while trying to sleep :)  All
the systems & access are well thought out & you even included a vey good
shuttlepod (any interior & pics for the shuttle?)  Overall, fantastic job.  I'd
personally like to see engine cowling, so the guts aren't as easily accesible to
the fleebnorks;  also in a future refit, maybe add a sloped hull to the front
mess and science labs.  It works fine as it is now since it is a converted
freighter, but after the initial mission, the Beagle's mission profile may be
expanded, so a refit will be in order ;)

(...) Thanks! 2-wide bunks bug me too. Minifigs are bigger than that, and if you're building to a 1 stud/foot scale (as I do), 2 studs = 2 feet = a very narrow bed. Mine are actually 3 studs wide, which seems about right. I doubt there will be any (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
