BINGO! MEGA BLOCKS: Battleship or USS Kittyhawk. Looking at that big
orange thingy on the table, the black tube has at one end a 1/1 modified
square grey plate with a single peg sticking out one side. If I'm not
mistaken, that is a clone (Ritvik) element!
:)
Also, the big tell tail is the way that the grey 2x4 bricks all warp in at
the base of the brick. Although a lego brick with do this, it is my
experience that a megablock 2x4 brick was more residual stress in the thin
wall of the part.
Now, I don't want to knock the design at all: I was forced to purchase a
battleship myself when my grey was running out - I just can't get cheap grey
2x4 lego bricks in large quantities, and sometimes the battleship goes on
sale for 10$! 2x4 bricks are the staple of very large capital ship design.
The Hyperion is turning out to be a strikingly beautiful - and well thought
out - design. My hat is off to him. It would be interesting to find out if
he is really using grey lego bricks only, because 11-12000 grey 2x4 lego
bricks is a LOT of money, even in auctions!
I just can't stop raving about his design!
