Thanks to @manglegrat and the provided 3D model, I was able to build the Alexander a companion ship. The Eisenhower. Besides giving the base the fourth pillar which proved valuable in the previous build it's built from file. (Well I could not get the 3673 technic pins on top to clamp on the 6L bars so I replaced them with tiles.) It was really great fun to go back to the time when I was around 15. If I ever find the time I think a Warlock would make a really nice and buildable addition. And LEGO please release some city planes so I can get those cannon bases in LBG für a reasonable price.

I'm somewhat happy that I don't have the urgent desire to buy this set after seeing the pics. Looks like a nice set though no more no less.

Thanks for the notice I switched the image hoster and can see them now on my laptop not logged in. Hope it works now :).

Hello I finally found the time and bricks to build Ryans and manglegrats Omega Destroyer design myself. I call it the Alexander, General Hagues and Major Ryans ship during the confrontation with President Clark. As you can see I added a fourth pillar. The engine section and the lower engines were pointing downward to much for my liking so I made this change to the support structure. I removed the 1x4 tile and replaced the 1x2 with center stud with plain 1x2 tiles. They just lie on the pillar which gives the engine section enough structural support. I also readded the 1x2 grille from Ryans original design to the outer rotating section. I replaced one part for price reasons the 4599a tap was so expensive new that I swapped in the 4599b (many of them face each other anyway) While building the rotating section I realized I was missing 4 2x4 bricks and 2 2x8 plates in the model I think they are not in the parts list, since they fit in the model and make it symmetric I added those during building. The ring next to the rotating section was really fragile and broke apart like 20 times before I stumbled over the "patch" on flickr which made the ring much more sturdy. I also replaced the 1x8 brick with a 1x6 brick and two 1x1 bricks with a stud on one side which doubled the connectors that hold the assembly together. I really don't like blue technic pins, had to replace them with lbg and black ones :) I used HERMA 8018 for the transparent decals and HERMA 9534 for the white ones. I'm very satisfied with the transparent ones. The white A is great as well. The nameplate could have a slighty higher resolution, I'm not yet sure if the sticker can't resolve higher or the source file just did not have more pixels, I will investigate further for the upcoming Nova... On a sidenote I printed a whole sheet of EA logos and Names for Omega destroyers from the wiki since I didn't want to put a sheet into the laser printer twice. If someone needs a decal for their Omega just send me a message they are free of course just shipping would be nice ;). And finally another two tiny changes. I'm pretty certain that the Omegas have an asymmetric front cannon layout and I changed the front layout so the 1x6 DBG tile is held in place by two studs adds another tiny bit of stability. Thanks to JMS, Ron Thornton, Ryan Olsen and manglegrat for this very entertaining build. I decided to build the Nova as well with my son but probably need a bigger house to display them :) anyway great job designing this.
