I was just wondering if anyone here is also a fan of the Honor Harrington
series of books by David Weber and if anyone has ever built one of the ships
from the series from LEGO?
From the official diagrams in the books and at the link below, the ships are
rather "plain" I guess, and they tend to follow a set design no matter how
large (something to do with the physics of Hyperspace travel I think) but
they have a certain appeal - to me at least. The largest ships are about
2km in length, so a Minifig scale is out of the question - but if you had
enough white pieces I think you could make a sizeable and detailed Microfig
ship? I haven't tried...
Anyway, in case anyone is wondering what the capital ships look like, this
is the site of the official illustrator of the series...(apparently):

| I didn't realize these were published books. I found them online for my Palm Peanut Reader. They are great, and the graphic of the impeller wedge is what I imagined only a GREAT deal larger. I imagined the ships a bit more beautiful, since they are (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)
