Step aside, kiddies, the BLOCK is BACK!
With the growing threat of 3vil, Dr.Terrible, the 3GA, and Space Hippies, the
Jr.Marshalate recognized the need for a reasonably cheap, easy to produce a
shuttle with long range capabilities and enough fire power to take down most
foes that larger ships, such as the
Kalashnikov were
unable to deal with.
The result is the Zhukov Class Assault Shuttle.
It carries a crew of four (one Komandant, and three Lejtenants), all of whom
are trained in all functions of the shuttle (pilot, navigator, 2 gunners).
Armaments include four large laser-cannons and four nuclear-tipped torpedoes.
Engines are a main Volelov Class III and two Volelov Class IIb thrusters.
The Power supply comes from three multi-level Lithium sub-fusion reactors in
the Engine section.
The Zhukov is not meant to land, and features a brand new Eastern Block
standard portal that a smaller shuttle can dock with for crew transfers.

Building notes: inspired by Adrian’s secret SHIP project and Soren’s
Mephistopheles. I really like the ‘squareness’ of the Meph. which is what I
tried to replicate in the bridge section. I was playing with the idea of
making the neck part hollow to allow a fig to travel through so they can fix
the engine area, but that concept will have to wait til my next SHIP moc.
the entire thing is modular and breaks down into small componenents: bridge
section, neck section, engine section - for ease of transport. i will take
pictures of how exactly i do this later.
the neck is made using technic beams and some tricky snot to get studs on
all sides. i spent quite some time figuring that out. also, when i was
editing pictures for this, my computer BROKE and so i had to do this all on
my wife’s work computer. hehehe

I like it! The bridge and engine portions are quite perfect. Definitely
Blockish.
To be honest I’m not feeling the giant fins. It’s no fault of your building or
the colors you used, I just feel they look wrong somehow. It’s not the
stair-like efefct of the slopes, that’s easy to get past. I dunno. But meh.
Super work. The Block is indeed back.
And I’m by no means a fitting voice for 3vil, but I don’t think 3vil wants any
of this, Lenny.
