[SHIP] Kraken

[puriri]

So this is my first SHIP and one of my first space creations at all!

Inspired by some of the recent SHIP that have been finished recently, namely the Manticore and the Calamity Jane, I wanted to build my own. After researching SHIPs and concept art for awhile I came to the idea of building a vertical Alien vessel. So this still keeps to the over 100 stud standard, in fact unless you count the complete length of the tentacles base to the the very top of the antennae is almost exactly 100 studs.

The SHIP has 2 lazar turrets, 2 mini hangars with small attack craft, 2 airlocks, 2 missile bays, and four decks, as well as the four tentacles. The ship is meant as a highly maneuverable battle ship that can snag other ships and crush them with the four strong tentacles.

The attack craft are of a similar design. They're supposed to be extremely fast and maneuverable but lack strong armor or weaponry beside two melee tentacles.

The SHIP has four detailed decks including a weapon control station, main bridge, stasis beds, and airlock chamber.

Hello!

That's a very interesting ship with a unique shape! The tentacles look great and the colour scheme reminds me a bit to the former Blacktron II series.

Cheers,

For some reason the link doesn't work for me...

Anyway, it's great! I'd love to see the interior. Love the neon green and black color scheme, and the tentacles

Great Alien ship puriri! Just perfect timing with the new Alien Conquest sets coming out, but yours is definitely much larger, better-designed, and more realistically alienish creepy. I really like the combination of the organic-like tentacles with the rest of the mechanical stuff of the ship - quite consistent with the notion of extra-terrestrial bio-mechanical technology.

Thats quite the ship! Nice first build and and I like it a lot. Reminds me of something from Battle: Los Angelas and War of the worlds. Keep up the great work!
