[MOC] EFS Asimov

[Sunder]

All right men, we’ve arrived. That strange thing looking like a comet is your new home and place of work for several months. No, that’s not a comet. That’s EFS Asimov, ore processing ship, and this dusty tail is a cloud of waste. We are getting closer and you can see how big this ship is. Do you see those claws and arms at the bottom? Now they are empty, but when Asimov sees some good asteroid full of iron nearby, she can crush and eat it herself. Now swarms of mining drones and transport ships are delivering ore to Asimov’s hangars. Yes, it looks like giant steel hive. See those spinning things? They are ore mills, crushing pieces of rock into dust. Then ore is separated from waste, enriched and prepared in other ways to become high quality steel. Can you see those four melting facilities? They are making steel plates, beams, tubes… all you want. And that is stored in those huge containers. Soon another cargo ship will take a couple of them. Hey, look at the engines. They are massive! If waste goes through their exhaust, it begins to glow. Now engines aren’t working, but you must see it! Let’s look at another side now. Yes, yes. That’s hydroponics. How many mining ships has it? But we have! You can take a rest after a long day in one of these little artificial gardens. We care about our employees. Anyway, we are going to dock, so our improvised excursion is over.

That is one awesome spacecraft.  Inspirational!  Well done.

Ah, SHIPtember. The most wonderful time of the year. :P

Outstanding work, Sunder, I think that this is the most straight-up intricate SHIP I've seen. If I may ask, how exactly is it that you came up with and executed this design?

[Criosphynx]

Gorgeous ship. Very well done!

I can't handle such a beauty!

Epic ship

[Vorkosigan]

So epic, and I love the little details like the robot arms and the shuttles.

A wonderful Masterpiece O.O couldn't believe my eyes

That is just insane, i don't think that even Lego designers themselves could have done a better job.. 

So many questions,, how many hours did it take to make? how many bricks, why this model?
