Pikachu Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I came to EuroBricks from Russian DoubleBrick LUG. Now, I translate & re-post some of my works here. Work got fifth place (of the twenty seven) in a contest "In a Galaxy Far-Far Away...", at Bricker.Ru site (in 2012 year). You can look for other works by this link. By the rules of contest, no text was allowed & only 25 photos (including frames in animation). Here are more photos & more comments. "Trident Prime" - is the name of the first ship of "trident" class. Model was made at minifigure-scale & made for playing. Some photos are in two variants "At stand just like flying" & "Standing on it's undercarriage"... Have a good time. Overall view. Classical, cannot say more. View on the floor. It is the best viewed from here. From little bellow. I just like it... Full face. You can see anti-gravitation engines. The call it "dinner plates". Bottom view. Spaceship is taking off... "Dinner plates are shining..." Left side view. You can see shunter engines on the left cruise engine. Mostly they are forgotten... Other side view. In the window you can see smiling medical-gunner Vera (In the Russian it the same word as Faith). Spacecraft is standing on 4 skis. They are retractable landing gear. Just a little bit upside view. You can see transparent windows at the back tunnels. Main aerials. Front aerials. Front-top view. Here is navigator-gunner Nadezda (In the Russian it the same word as Hope). Chair goes aside. (I made it for the first time & I like it!) Backside view. Four mine engines make full throttle. Side engines are for maneuver purposes... Door. Just a door. I think it is gonna be like this. Cockpit (Technical image). Lets go by the corridor to see what is he doing. Let's go & look... I was thinking he is playing "Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom". It appears that not. Corridor windows (Technical image). (Maybe it will help somebody)... Gears close-up (Technical image). Unfortunately, I did not make them animated "in action"... Last but not least logistic-gunner Leonid. Just Leonid. "Rear side protection. No problems!" He do it with triple guns. I hope you liked it. Thanks for watching! Yours, Pikachu... P.S. If you find mistakes - please write to me & i'll correct them. Edited June 11, 2012 by Pikachu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpion Posted June 11, 2012 Ummm... I hate to be the devil's advocate, but... why do you have windows that only show the side of the ship? (The two side "bubbles" on the center "tooth") Doesn't seem like a very logical placement... Maybe a nice transparent top/bottom dome instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, If a minifigure put its head in that bubble, it can see little bit up, down & front. Transparent bottom... There are landing gears. Transparent upper dome... They'll need stairs to get to it. It is done the best way i can imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotoAndLego Posted June 12, 2012 Transparent upper dome... They'll need stairs to get to it. No gravity = no need for stairs. You designed a space ship after all. Regardless, I like the side windows and the whole ship has a good shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si-MOCs Posted June 13, 2012 It's a really interesting design... and you got some great play features. I dig it. I really like how you integrated those windscreens up front! Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted June 13, 2012 This is a great ship. I like the side bubble windows, you need to look out at space sometime. I like the side cockpit and all the weaponry you added. That swivel chair on the sides is brilliant. The shape is great and looks to be very swooshable. The underside isn't ugly to look at either, the landing gear is nice and looks equipped to slide on the ice with ease, if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has its own gravitation emulator. Want to go up - go stairs. It's a really interesting design... and you got some great play features. I dig it. I really like how you integrated those windscreens up front! Good job! Windscreens were difficult task, but they look nice after all. This is a great ship.
