It is a 7-deck model of an Intrepid-class (I believe) starship, the kind Voyager
was - for you Trek fans.  Yes I know the real ship has 16 decks.  I can feel the
mental corrections coming to me right now by the Trekkies...

The warp core is two decks high and 'ejectable' through the bottom hull.  There
are two land crafts that can be launched.  The shuttle bay can hold a number of
ships.  The nacelles are positional, although I have them in a fixed position at
the moment because they are pretty heavy themselves.  There are escape pods in
both the saucer sections and engine sections.  AS I get time I will post more
internal shots.

The external 'stats' are:  over 7 ft long, over 2 ft high, and over 3 ft across.
Weight of the craft estimated at about 200 pounds.  About 130 minifigs as crew.

Wow. One question - how did you build the internal structure to keep the ship
together - especially on the saucer section which cantilevers out pretty far?
