The contest idea is good, but it's difficult to build very large projects
under time restraints. :)

Since you were so candid about your own massive cruiser, let me throw in a
few details about the Nautilus, just beginning construction:


Project name:  NAUTILUS

Primary purpose: exploration (Lego Space Corps)
Secondary purpose: military defense
  The Nautilus will fulfill the Space Corps's increasing need for
pre-colonization and mining exploration, while defending Earth and her
protectorates from potential military threats such as the Arcturians, the
Blacktron Empire, and the Orion Pirate Confederacy.  The ship will carry
full military and scientific personnel, and will be capable of exploring any
terrestrial and extra-terrestrial environment.

Dimensions (approximate): 90 studs x 32 studs x 26 bricks

Propulsion:
    2 fission-pulse boosters
    Quantum-jump field generator (for superluminal travel)
    2 external propellor screws (for underwater exploration)

Crew: 32 (General Naval officers, Medical Corps, Science & Research Div.,
Cartography Div., and Engineering Corps)
  Note: exact crew number is subject to forthcoming operations analyses, and
may be subject to change.

Internal layout: 4 decks, including bridge, flight deck, cargo bay,
engineering, science labs, medical lab, habitat, arborium, turbolifts,
escape-pods, and observation lounge

Armament:  [CLASSIFIED LEVEL 3]

The final draft proposal for the Nautilus was just approved by the Lego
Space Corps directors, and construction has begun while a crew is selected.
Admiral Brightbottom of the LSC Navy will oversee all phases of
construction, which will take place at the LSC's Futuropolis shipyards.

I was thinking that it would be fun to have an MOC contest judged in a few
areas:  Biggest MOC, Most Well-Designed MOC, and Most Technology-Utilizing • MOC
(i.e. with motors, lights, possibly some dacta, technic, and mindstorms
elements).  Everyone could post a link to pictures of their MOC and state • the
size (length, width, and heighth), as well as other statistics.  We would • then
judge the ships.  What does everyone think of this?

By the way, I'm also building an MO, the Spartan, that I plan to be around • 325
studs long when finished.  My goal is to be able to fit four capital ships • I
made the size of the deep freeze defender in the docking bay.  They will • be
suspended overhead and technicians will use catwalks to get to the support
releases.  I am planning on using four of the alien saucer pieces in a • circle
of four (16 total) as the main drive system.  The docking bay will have • lights
and so will the bridge.  The barracks will be able to hold 175 men in • triple
bunkbeds arranged in five rows.  There will be a full bathroom with 20 • toilets
(not much for the crew size) and 20 showers.  Working electronic elevators
will provide transportation between floors.  Transportation in the docking • bay
is via a large electric monorail system; a quick and effective transport.
There will be several mini-docking bays along the ship's expanse, • including
private ones for the higher-ups. The ship's troops look very cool.  They • have
grey legs, and grey white-dotted Fright Knights torsos.  They have grey
helmets and black visors.  I have split them up into divisions.  Each • division
is 25 men, each squad is 5 men.  Three men in the squad are armed with • simple
T-Rifles (standard issue blaster rifles), one is a bazooka specialist, and • one
is either a sniper with a W9-30 Sniper Rifle (black rifle with a short • black
antenna) or a grenadier with a pack of grenades.  This gives me 35 bazooka
men, 105 riflemen, and 35 other specialists.  Those are my ground troops,
which are transported to the field by the MOC itself through the use of
atmospheric maneuvering vanes.  I am also working on 3 squads of 12 • fighters
to go in the ship.  I'll stop ranting here, lemme know what you think • about
the MOC contest.
