Hi all,

I know I sort of disappeared there for a while. I was out of town for a
week. I guess I should have left a note or something ;^)

Anyhoo, on the 23rd I went to Wayne Hussey's house to help him work on his
latest mega-spaceship.

Allow me to illustrate:

Thanks bunches for the pictures and the post  Mark!
Wayne, this red rocketship is stunning.  Does she have a name yet?  Any
other info on her would be greatly appreciated...  such as... width of base,
diameter of widest section of main body,  approximate weight (are you going
to be able to move it upstairs for display after completion?-it is art!,
range of brick sizes used in external shell, # of different type of elements
used so far, is she based on a specific 50's movie rocketship? . . .


Just for reference, I'm 6'3"

While I was there, Wayne and I started to work on one of the crew decks of
this 50s Style rocketship. There are a few pics of the bunks, storage
lockers, showers, and toilets. One of the inter-deck hatches can also be
seen in the picture.

*Second level of the 50's*  Does 2nd level refer to deck # or does it refer
to revisiting this time period?

I just went back through all the space posts to 12-21-00. Wayne, you posted
the pictures 12-22-00?  Didn't see any reference to them here.  Please make
note of it at Lugnet when more are posted.  I'd hate to miss them...

# of decks ? Curious about how one is to view  the insides . . . hinges?
pivots of some sort? swivel? some smooth plates between decks to make
lifting decks/sections apart easier?


Nothing was secured to the deck in the pictures, but they will be secured in
the future.

Great bunks! like the the use of the 1x2 grills.
Would this ship have it's own gravity field?   I can't remember any 50's
space movies  that didn't assume this.  That's why all the deck furnishings
only utilize the floor? 50's movies ignored into zero gravity?


This thing is gonna be way cool. :^)

yup!

sheree

(...) Label me "Surprised" :-] I have tentatively named it "V-6" as in V-2 from the 40's, but bigger. The diameter of the hull at the widest is 40 studs. All of the hull is 2 studs thick. So far, excluding the deck design, there are only regular (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.space)
