Patgeo Posted November 29, 2016 Hello to everyone! This is my first topic in this forum, and I am glad to present you my first and biggest project on which I have been working for the last 6 years. It is the "Destiny" Starship, from the Stargate Universe (SGU) series of SyFy. It is a series that was based in the original Stargate movie of 1994, and continues the story of the two previous series, that followed the original movie (Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis). To begin with, and before the photos of my version, I would like to appose some photos of Destiny from the TV series; Original Destiny - Front View by George Patelis, on Flickr Original Destiny - Side View by George Patelis, on Flickr Below, you can see photos of my version of Destiny, for the implementation of which, valuable assistance was offered by the printings of Martin Steil, that were made in 2011. 1 - Top View by George Patelis, on Flickr 2 - View from Bottom by George Patelis, on Flickr 3 - Horizontal View by George Patelis, on Flickr Destiny, at its current form, consists of about 29,000 pieces, the majority of which are Technic Bricks, Technic Pins, and Slopes. Its dimentions, when it is placed horizontally, are 2,20m long, 1,75m wide, around 75cm high, and its weight exceeds 30Kg. Of course, due to its size, its weight, appears to be larger. From the design stage until the completion of its construction, it took me about six years. Of course, during that time there was a break of about a year due to some obligations, and also due to lack of funds, since the cost only for the building material exceeded the amount of € 2,000, without the inclusion of the transportation costs from America and Europe. Below, you can see more detailed photos; 4 - Top View from Front by George Patelis, on Flickr 5 - Botom View from Front by George Patelis, on Flickr 12 - Closer Look of the Cockpit Tower by George Patelis, on Flickr 14 - Side View of the Tail by George Patelis, on Flickr 16 - Detailed Side View by George Patelis, on Flickr 18 - View of the Main Starship by George Patelis, on Flickr You can find more photos of the completed project and from the construction stage at my FlickR, and in the original post that was made for thebrick.gr. I hope you like it! Any comments are welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted November 30, 2016 That is a beautifully sculpted model. But it is missing a lot of windows. The front could also be rounded off, rather than coming to a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front could also be rounded off, rather than coming to a point. Thank you vey much for your comments! Regarding the windows, I wanted to keep it in scale with the original one, and if I was going to place even the smallest window that exists, the result would be at least twice the size of the current one. Also, the nose was the part that I first dealt with. At that point I had a small stock of parts, and it took me a lot of time to come up with the specific design, which in the end I liked. If I was starting its construction now, I would try to use some curved bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted December 1, 2016 Beautiful model. It was hard to believe the size from the first couple pics, but when I saw the blue dome, it made me realize just how big it was. The curved shaping is wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much for your comments! It did my best for its shape, something that was tough enough! It is a fact, that you cannot realize its size, until you see it from a closer look! Below, you can see a comparizon of a minifig and the back end of Destiny, while it was still under construction. There are more pics in FlickR; DSC_2469 by George Patelis, on Flickr DSC_2468 by George Patelis, on Flickr Edited December 1, 2016 by Patgeo Wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Sinner Posted December 21, 2016 Wow, that's very impressive! I like the way you used layers and slopes to give the unique contours of the ship. It's so massive, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The contour of the ship, was tricky enough, and i had to assemble and disassemble it enough times in order to achieve the best resault! Thanks again for your comment!
