The whole ship...

and the command section.

(The images above were made using the Bluerender tool that msx80 created. I could do with getting to grips with an image manipulation program, GIMP looks good.)

My only claim to the design was to reproduce it using LDD. :)

Nice interpretation + great you are using BlueRender as I can only highly agree on that!

Thanks! :) It took a while to figure out. I think the thing that took the most time was the command section.

Once I figure out where to host LDD files, I'll post them here.

Nice ship! I especially like the 2 'rings', and I'm curious to know how you built them - which parts you used to get the round shape - if you don't mind sharing of course..

No, I don't mind sharing! :)

I'm trying to make space in my Dropbox for the .lxf files, but in the meantime, here is a closeup of part of one of the rings.
