So my massive parts order arrived. After checking all parts out, i already had to make a quick 5 min moc. 

So here you go, ladies and gentlemen. 

DB-01





More to come. I'll post all my builds in this thread. If you guys have any building tips or hints, i'm always open for more ideas. 
What i'm currently looking for is building techniques for cores or frames for the ship.. 
Building with system is harder than i thought. But it's a start!

Update:
 

Okay this time i really gave it a go. And here are the results:

The Kestrel. 
Used for personnel transportation and exploration.
Mounted with two long ranged scanners and a large ion cannon. 
Propulsion comes from 4 medium engines. 
Can fit 400 passengers and 200 crewmen. For a total of 600 people.

Very cool! I like this design a lot!  

And yes, the picture with flash looks better, but I think you you'll get the best results when taking pictures in a bright room which has plenty of natural light.

I'm thinking about acquiring more parts and starting to make world war II mechs.. 
The mechs will be mechanically correct so no arms or heads. Just tanks with legs.

Okay.. Apparently when i'm stuck, i should just let my wife build something.. She made a nice looking tubular structure which i used for the shoulders. 
I was currently trying to make turrets when i got stuck and didn't know what to build.. 





It's okay i guess. Quite simple but effective.

Should be arriving trough the mail at some point from taiwan. 
It's something pretty cool. However, it's not a lego licensed product though. 

I'm no longer a 100% purist. 
But i still disapprove illegal connections.
