The pictures of some of my creations included in my last entry sparked some interest. So, the following are some more pictures of the large space ship I created back in high school (10 years agon now, wow!). What is funny is that I could never come up for a name for this thing, to this day I think of it as "the big ship"; no name I could come up with ever seemed right. Any suggestions?
Statistics:
Length: 5.1 feet long
Width: 3.1 feet at widest point
Average Width: 1.5 feet
Height: 2.25 feet at talles point
Some "Big Picture" shots:
 |
I had always wanted to build something big enough that it
could include a monorail. This was it. |
 |
This picture was actually taken from on my roof looking through
the window. Model was too big to move. |
 |
This front part housed the hanger, labs, bridge and officer's cabins. |
 |
This middle section was crew quarters (the yellow section) and
connecting walkway. |
The following pictures show how the model opened so that you could access the inside. My goal was to make it 100% playable (a requirement for all my MOCs) which meant 100% access. I succeeded.
 |
This shows everything opened and all the removable floors removed. |
 |
The crew quarters. |
 |
The hallway, the crew quarters were accessed via hatches in the floor
(you can see the red in the floor, those are them) |
 |
You can see the monorail dock and the rear access door here |
And now a few detailed pictures of the interior.
 |
The hanger, it was so big I could (and did) stick my head in it. |
 |
The engine room with the reactor front and center. |
 |
The mechanical room. |
 |
The greenhouse. |
 |
The first floor of the medical wing. The hatch to the right accessed the
mechanical room and crew quarters. |
 |
Top floor of medical wing. This was before sites like bricklink so I had to use
printed tiles for lack of plain ones. |
 |
Inside view of the hall looking from the front to the rear of the ship. |
 |
Crew quarters, 3 stories tall, sleeping was on the left and workout room
was on the right. |
 |
Officers quarters off the bridge. |
 |
The bridge and stairwell to the officer's cabins. |
The model was very intricate. Working pathways for minifigures existed throughout. Their was a large working elevator in the hanger as well as the working monorail. To date it is the biggest model I have ever done.
A couple of final shots.
