I'm up for it if I can borrow a digital camera and then throw up a site. The
problem is my ship might not be done right away. Its already a year and a
half in the making..although it could probably be done (on the outside) in
about a month. I'd love to just enter kind of unofficially if I could. I
still need to finish certain sections of the hull, the rose windows, the
bridge and the drive system in back (this section finally came to me while I
was dozing off the other night)..then put on some details and tweak the
flying butresses a bit and I should be finished with the exterior.

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.
