Spirit Posted September 29, 2015 For my first Shiptember experiment, I wanted to make a barge for my (neo) M:Tron fleet. Length: 134 studs Weight: ~3.7kg full, ~3.4kg empty (Click pics, see bigger pics, but you know that) The barge is a cargo able to fly in and out of atmosphere. It can transport all kinds of ore and raw material. It's especially useful to bring the ice extracted from the asteroid fields to the colony. Each compartment can be sealed with a small pressure on its top, which proved to be a life saver several times. Reactors are convenient to move the barge, but it's really hard to find anything interesting to tell about them. Anyway, it can also transport standard M:Tron containers... And has a landing surface for small vehicles similar to the ones found in Mega Core Magnetizers. It has a toolbox. Toolbox aren't really funny but that area was so empty it was depressing. But the most important is the cabin... Because it has a sofa. And nobody knows how the sofa, which is the only sofa from Earth on this side of the galaxy, got in there. Penelope, the pilot, says the barge was built around it. It also has toilets, a water fountain, a small refrigerator and a cute bed hidden in a corner, which is unfortunate because it's really cute. Finally, the seat of the deck can move in front of the control panels. It doesn't sound like much... and well, it isn't, haha. There, I don't think it's impressive in any way, but I've had fun building this and I like it, it's a fine addition to my fleet. I realized 100 studs isn't as hard to reach as I first thought, so I'll probably try bigger next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobabricks Posted October 1, 2015 This is awesome, I love MOCs from the classic space themes . Did you get the idea of the cargo doors from set 76028? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spirit Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks all. :) @bobabricks: Nope, I had never noticed it before (I'm not into "super heroes" sets at all), It's a coincidence. There doesn't seem to be many ways to use those parts to make doors though. Funniest part is they apparently locked the doors the same way, which I thought would possibly be considered an "illegal build". Good to know it isn't. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
