I just keep missing your MOCs. I think it is because the time you post them is often 1am-4am in my time zone and I have to go back pretty far to find them.
The short answer is I think it is cool. *wub* I agree that sometimes a box is the most appropiate design, and I think even for spacecraft, a box can be cool. I loved most of the Earth ship designs in Babylon 5 and most of them were boxy. Your descriptions were cool, amusing and suitibly over-complicated. I love it when someone thinks out how a Lego contraption is supposed to work. Aside from that, I do have some questions/comments/gripes;
1. A photo from the side with the door up would be handy as it is hard to see how it all works. I assume that it pulls out and then hinges, similar to the new aircraft hatches. 8-|
2. Great handcuff idea. *sweet* I will shamelessly rip this off. :-P
3. Do you have plans for how you are going to do the numbers from 2 to 10?
4. Are you an anti-studite or is it just for this model?
5. "It's fully cell-f contained!" When I read this at first I thought it was a typo! :-$
6. To take 10 of these and more your ship is going to be pretty big.... 8-
