I'm game. I have three large minifig scale ideas floating in my head right
now. Whatever you do, give the people plenty of time to create their
entries, it will result in a much better field. It has been a while since I
created a space MOC and up until now my piece count has kept me restrained to
smaller 1 or 2 man ships. But now I should have enough. Here are my three
ideas.
A capital ship in gray and dark grew with red highlights. I have decided on a
the general shape of the craft, and it would contain a docking bay as well as
storage and passenger areas.
A Blacktron Landing ship. I have the shape already drawn out. I also have
exciting ideas of for the design of two fighters and one tank that will be
stored within. I'll need to obtain 1 more msg intercept base and some more
black parts before I can start this one.
Explorion sciece vessel. This is a result of trying to use those large white
cockpit pieces that come with the lare explorion ship. This project is in the
very early stages. I'm still leraning how to use those pieces.
