Thanks for all the comments everyone! This is a little late - but I’ve been busy! Yesterday (sunday) I FINALLY graduated from college. 4 years at Northern Illinois U and transfered to Columbia College Chicago for another 3 years, and it’s finally done. :) I now have a degree in Graphic Design (BFA). The last few weeks have been hectic, but it’s finally over so now I can get back to what’s important. ;)

   I really like the use of clear thinwalls on the medium blue plates for the engine. In the front, the recessed greeble areas are very nice. I noticed that the side hatches are not functional, was there a reason for this?

So when does it get an interior? ;)

Almost nothing is ‘functional’ in this version. The side hatches come off to reveal... more plates! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1231930 There is also no boarding ramp - but no one noticed that yet so perhaps I should have stayed silent. :)

An interior’s gonna be hard, due to all the structural beams and stuff I had put inside: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1231944 However, it may be possible to remove a few to make room - look for an attempt in Version Three sometime in the future. :)

Thanks :) I had done a 3D (non lego) version of this a loooong time ago to annoy my country music-loving roommate.
   Thirty pounds!? THIRTY? whoah. wow. dang, that’s heavy!
Actually, I re-weighed it and I think it’s closer to 25. Somewhere between there. Still... :)


Thanks again for all the comments. Stay tuned for my next creation! (or cheat and look through my brickshelf gallery ;) )
