Pdaitabird Posted March 22, 2020 This microscale MOC was a fun way to imagine what a near-distant future spacecraft might look like. I wanted to make sure that each part had a purpose and wasn't just pointless greebling. Thanks for looking! Soli Deo Gloria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toastie Posted March 22, 2020 USS Donald J Trump ... and Col. J.D. Smith with a weapon - now that's some bold approach to land on an Earth-like planet. I know: There may be bad guys. But it is a very nice model. I love micro scale. I believe it is the most inspiring way of building. With all the fun. As they said over in the Technic Forum: The larger the scale, the more "responsible" it gets But why do you need the pack of fuel cells for electricity generation off from a fuel and e.g. the oxidizer you need to store in good amounts? 24 years is quite some time. Plus the folks in there are riding a fusion reactor. That means you have electricity available at infinite amounts - for ages ... I'd say make them into bio-food-production units. Then the people have also something to eat on their journey. Best Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glassjaw Posted March 27, 2020 Nice compact build, reminds me of the Nauvoo/Behemoth/Medina station from the Expanse series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted March 27, 2020 Was recently playing Civilization : Beyond Earth again, and that ship looks a bit like the colony ships seen at the intro. Nice shaped small build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the ships from the Expanse were a great source of inspiration. @TeriXeri I'm not familiar with the game, but after looking it up I can see the resemblance!

Abaddon127 Posted April 11, 2020 Excellent build. I hope I actually live long enough to see a man land on Mars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pdaitabird Posted April 12, 2020 @Abaddon127 Thanks! I hope so too...we have the technology, just not the budget apparently! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
