I recently completed construction on the "Hyperspace Dart." It is a slightly
modified civilian freighter (more powerful engines than the stock version).
The shape of the ship was inspired by the Bespin Bandit, a ship which appeared
in one of the Star Wars Dark Horse comics, and of course, the Millennium
Falcon. The ship contains two Insectoid light and sound units. A knob on the
back, through a series of gears, turns the "engines" on. The roof of the
cargo area is removable so I can get in (minifigs use the ramp) and is held in
place by magnets -- can't have the ship flying about when pulling negative
Gs. The landing ramp is manually operated. Images can be found at:

The costruction schedule was moved up so that the ship was completed in time
for "Mark's Space Contest" http://www.nwlink.com/~sandlin/lego/contest/
All comments welcomed.

| (...) Incredibly cool! I imagine this is what would result if the Millenium Falcon and a Star Destroyer had children. I just love the shape! It's so simple but great looking that I'm now saying, "Why didn't I think of that?!" Keep up the good work. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Aug-00, to lugnet.space)

| I love all the detail on this ship. The side wall looks really good. I've also never seen those UFO pieces used like that. (like in detail2.jpg) The ship looks really functional. (looks at more pictures) man I really really like the detail on (...) (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.space)

| (...) In which Insectoids set did you find the light and sound units? Also, in which set did you get the saucers and roof pieces? Thank you. (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.space)
