Muurian Transport.

[ramp4ge]

Hi all. First post here.

I was a Lego fanatic when I was a kid--but that was a lot of years ago and they've come a long way since then.

I don't have a lot of time or money to put into the real bricks anymore, but I recently discovered LDD and it's brought all the fun back that I used to have with the non-virtual bricks.

Here's one of my first efforts. I'm not sure what the members here think of LDD-only projects, I can just say I had as much fun "building" it as I ever did when I was a kid.

This is, of course, a Murrian Transport. Fans of X-Wing vs TIE and X-Wing Alliance probably remember this obscure ship. I always thought it was great and it's always been one of my favorite semi-canon ships.

Still a work-in-progress. Planning on doing a full interior. She's big enough for at least 2 decks..

Looks nice! I like transports that can fit alot of people in them, and your representation of this one looks great.

Started on the Muurian Transport's interior.

So far I have.

Deck 1:

Command Deck (Cockpit)

Gunnery 1

Gunnery 2

Captain's Quarters

Deck 2:

Main Engineering

Deck 3:

Crew Quarters

Crew Mess

Crew Lounge

Crew Head

Crew Shower

Escape Pods

Pictures!

Command Deck:

Gunnery:

There are 2 of these. One port, one starboard.

Captain's Suite:

Complete with computer, shelving, a comfortable couch, a private head, a bath and a queen-sized bed.

Ladder leads to deck 2/crew deck.

Main Engineering:

Engines 1 and 2 are visible. Hyperdrive motivator is also visible. Escape pod access hatches are in the floor. Engineering is accessable thru the crew deck.

Crew Deck - Head, shower and galley:

Private heads, unisex shower, galley and mess.

Crew Bunks:

4 bunks in 2 quarters, each with a computer for private use.

Escape Pods:

There are 3 escape pods. They exit from the ventral stern of the ship.

This is a sub-deck and is not generally habitable.

Each escape pod can hold 3 persons, for a total of 9. Standard crew is 6.

Escape pods are accessed thru floor hatches in main engineering.

Whew.

I'll do the main cargo bay, cargo bay 2, engine room 2 and the fuel mod tomorrow.

Total brick count as of right now is 4,513.

Wow! Massive! Looking great! :thumbup:

The ship and the interior is really starting to look awesome! I think it would be a great play set for the kids. Keep up the good work!

[ActionJackson]

Wow, this looks amazing. I love your idea of crew bunks, which obviously hasn't occured to LEGO. I'm sure at least one kid has thought, "Where are these people supposed to sleep?"

[ramp4ge]

I think she's done!

Engine Room 2:

Engine 3 and 4, and the hyperdrive motivators for those engines. Bank of computers, but mostly controlled from main engineering.

Main Cargo Bay:

Large cargo bay, including access panel for the port-side laser cannon.

Fuel Tanks:

Area is mostly inaccessible except by a crawl space from main engineering.

Oxygen and Fresh Water:

I was also really unhappy with the light turbolaser turrets, so I redesigned them.

Complete deck plan - deck 1:

Complete deck plan - deck 2:

Total brick count is 5,048.

Nice! Great to have a full interior. Any plans on a real brick build?

[Mr Man]

Damn that is one big ship, and the fact that it has an interior, a detailed interior at that is amazing .

I absolutely love your engine deck, all those pipes and hoses
