I don't mean to shoot down your idea too fast here, but...

Isn't this what Fibblesnork does already? There are pics of everything up to
a couple years ago, along with a timeline, etc.

http://www.lugnet.com/fibblesnork/lego/guide/

Most of the largest Official Space sets just barely verge on being as large
as most of the MOCs on the Shipyards... so I don't know if I'd consider them
capital ships. But maybe that's not what you're shooting for in this
instance.

Of course, if you had links to instructions and various places it might be
doing something Fibblesnork doesn't do, which could be valuable... and a lot
of people don't know about Fibblesnork anyway.

Just some thoughts.

Subject: Official model section at the 'Shipyard?

I was thinking about making a section just for official space models.
Only the BIG ones. A kind of pantheon of sets.

Is this a silly idea? I need some input here. If everyone thinks this
is weird or that it would be confusing to see these on the same site with
MOCs please tell me. They would of course have their own area. Only problem
is I don't have pictures of all of these myself and don't own a scanner.
Could someone donate a picture of them or tell me where to grab them?

I would have a picture of the set and text saying when it was
released. For the applicable (out of production) sets I could have a direct
link to Brick Shelf. Maybe I could also have each set linked to it's theme
on Lugnet. (like when you go look at 6989 you would find a link to its
instructions on Brickshelf and a link on Lugnet to the M-tron section.) Here
are the sets so far that I thought of using:

497
6949
6973
6975
6977
6979
6980
6982
6984
6985
6986
6987
6989
6990
6991

If there are others please let me know. The reason I was thinking of
this is that to me seeing all of the big sets together is very inspiring.
Its neat to see the evolution of the larger sets through the years.

Anyway I'm just brainstorming right now.
Tell me what you think!
