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.
