Giant Lego Spaceship!


By far the biggest Lego creation I have ever made, this is a huge starship that used just about every black, blue, and green pieces I own. It's not even finished yet! It's currently about 34" (or 107 studs) long and growing. It's a super-fast intergalactic pirate ship that has a advanced cloaking device to prevent cargo ships from seeing it until it's too late. It has four separate compartments, the command module, the walkway, the reactor-room, and the engineering bay. As one might have guessed from the fact that there was a reactor-room, it is powered by a crystal reactor which gives it enough thrust to reach 10-LYPS (Light Years Per Second) with it's warp engines engaged. With a crew of eleven, this pirate ship can easily overwhelm the crew of the massive Spaceman Alliance cargo ships that have a standard complement of two. Built with technology stolen from every civilization from here to TBT-24, the pirates have an incredible range of equipment on board. On the front of the ship is a massive ram which is big enough to scare most star yacht captains into submission at the mere sight. Able to outrun what it can't outgun, this pirate ship gives you another reason to stay on your home planet.

This is truly an amazing model. What makes it even more special is the fact that you built it from your own design and idea. I think you have a knack for model making that is rarely found.

I love what you wrote about the model as well because it gives us the story of the spaceship and the reason for the way you built it just so.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your next creation!

Love,
Mom
