   Melpomene is both the 100th model gallery on my site and my first SHIP over 100 studs. She is a passenger transport crewed by 9 women and adapted to their particular needs. She cruises the spacelanes, looking for pirates to bring to justice.

(You’ve already seen her if you’ve looked at the SPACE sidebar in the last couple of days- thanks, Lenny!)


I like it! As a ship, it’s pretty cool. I like the engines, both the large main engines at the rear and the movable landing engines.

I also like the landing gear a lot. They seem to hold up the ship well, yet still fold up out of the way when not needed.

Thanks for the comments. I really enjoyed this build. And I’m still amazed at how much weight the landing gear can take. Those giant click hinges are what makes it possible. On the other hand, they’re so dang stiff that I have to squeeze the frame to rebind the stud connections after flipping them up or down.
