Introducing the Discovery I...
Being one of my favourite vessels in science fiction, I’ve wanted to build a
LEGO version of this ship for a long time. And as it turns out I actually
HAVE been building it for a long time. :) I think I started this puppy back
in December 2002. Among other things that time was spent waiting for parts
to be released (gray 6x6 radar dish, gray 3x3 radar dish) and ‘getting it
just right’ (I’ve lost count of how many times various parts of the ship have
been redesigned). Mix some heavy doses of procrastination in there as well.
:)
Here’s a ‘candid’
shot of the ship sitting on one of my build tables to give a better idea of
it’s size. Notice the storm trooper in the middle of the stand.
In the end I’m very pleased with how it turned out. The only piece I will
forever be waiting for is a gray open ended wrench for the pod arms.
At some point I’ll have to figure out where to display it. At the moment
that build table (being 8ft long) is the only surface in my house that is big
enough for it to sit on - other than the floor of course!
Enjoy!
