My first real attempt to build a space vehicle since my dark ages, I
noticed have a tendency to build larger models than I have pieces for but in
a way that makes it even more challenging! It was fun to build something
different than I usually do and I think it’s great that people arrange all
kind of contests to keep one busy. Specially space themed ones! ;)

Interesting. I’ve noticed that that seems to be a post dark age tendency.
Several people seem to have built large first and gone down in scale to a
more managable size over time. Take Jon Palmer for example. He says that
just about the first thing he built after his dark ages was the huge capital
ship, but he’s built nothing so big since. I have the same problem (though
I’ll never be able to build something as big as the aforementioned capital
ship).

I guess it has to do with the wich to build something massive when you’re young
but not having enough pices and when one can buy LEGO as much as ones wishes
(and can afford) that old dream of the ultimate big ship awakens? ;)
I have made few attempts but scrapped them because the lack of bricks. Some day
though!

Even if most of the Intergalactic space era battles takes place in space
some vehicles is still needed on the battleground.

The other good thing about it is that, if you think about it, long distance
spaceships need centrifuge systems. A large missile instalation would most
definitely need one. This is cheaper.
|
True, good point.

On many planets wheels are the
most efficient way to get around. So behold, the futuristic IGMLRS!
(InterGalactic Multiple Launch Rocket System). With it’s awesome firepower
consisting of 41 long range rockets (with a multitude of warheads) and two
additional intercontinental rockets it’s a feared competitor on the
battlefield.

**evil grin**

Thanks, I guess? ;)

D’oh! Just when I thought that I might be able to put something
comparitively good into the contest. Actually, I haven’t looked at the other
entries for at the contest page for a long time, so I don’t know what this is
in comparison to the others.
|
I sure hope that my entry won’t hold you back to enter the contest, who knows
what the judges might like, thankfully the ‘taste’ differs from person to
person!
