Introducing the Blacktron II, a drop ship designed for raiding and piracy of
mining settlements and colonies far from the long arm of the Space Police.
The Blacktron II is over 200 studs long, around 220 actually, almost 6 feet.
It took me about 6 months to build, around 100 hours of build time. There
might be as many as 15,000 bricks in this creation but I really don’t know.
I know that there are around 5000 1x2 bricks in it, some from Bricklink, some
borrowed from my buddies stash and a couple thousand of my own. The interior
was fun, not as detailed as some of the other ships out there but I like it.
It has a technic frame stretching the full length of the ship, extending over
and under the hangar as well. I am actually able to lift it in the middle
with little to no sag. Thanks to Dave DeGobbi for the neon-green for
neon-orange part swap and Brickville Designworks for lend a tonne of black to
me for this ship. Enjoy folks and for those of you in the Northwest
(southwest Canada) I’ll see you in Seattle at NWBrickcon in October.

That was a very impressive ship when I saw it in person at BrickFest. I’m
really glad you posted about it and I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to
congratulate you on it in person at BrickFest. And I got home and realized I
hadn’t taken any pictures of it, so it is a real treat to have it shown here.
Thanks - it is beautiful!
