Thank you... As a matter of fact I was doing an alternate "smooth" version with the plates you mention, the problem was that, at that "scale", I could not find anyway to reproduce the lattice structure accurately. I was thinking more of a smooth plate version with transparent stickers to simulate the lattice structure. Also, in this version, I chose to make only the "interior" yellow hull wich in the real model is transparent and is inside a very complex girder structure. As for making it for real, I would love to have the time but who knows, it might happen.

Hi Sorry for the delay in answering, had a lot of work and now I'm bed with a back injury. In fact I'm doing the "Palomino", it's not going to be on the same scale of the "Cygnus" but I'm getting there. I will work on it again as soon as I can. About the robots I did one "Maximilian" but in a "cube dude format" you can see it at: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8249/8632636175_9aff4808e5_o.jpg Thank you

Thank you That's exactly why I chose it!

The movie is good for what it achieved. Think of the time when the special effects were done mechanically by hand with real models, some of the miniatures were hanged with wires! no CGI, no digital composing, of course compared with today's basic composing software the whole thing looks very low quality and some times very comic. I honestly don't know if it's a "sci-fi classic" but for sure it is one of the films that paved the way for the "Sci-fi classics". Thanks for your comment

Wedge09: Thank you very much! DraikNov: Thank you, it was a lot of work, the concept of the ship goes to Peter Ellenshaw. Rufus: You have good eyes!, yes, they are a little too tall, that is a compromise I had to make in order to represent the whole antenna array. In the "real" model the four upper antennas are smaller than the ones at the "base". I'm hopping to make the version 2.0 and correct some details I think can be improved. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks I totally agree with you. I know that in the "3D world" anything is possible, I'm not so sure about the integrity of the model in the "real world" This was more of a "study" of the ship, given the way the Cygnus is designed I was curious about it's "LEGO viability"

Thanks for the comment! Answering your question, no, it does not. The ship in the movie has "landing grill" in the bow made out of girders, so that is the way I found to made it out of LEGO...

Hi, New member here. This is my first LEGO creation made in LDD. In the future I hope to make the "real thing"... Anyway, it's a ship that, as far as I know, nobody has done before and after finish it I can understand why! There are some details like the piping that are not 100% accurate because of the scale and the "disponible LEGO pieces" but I'm happy with overall result. Thanks for watching!

Hi I'm from Mexico now living in Montreal. I rediscover LEGO a few months ago, unfortunately, at this point in time I have not the space to construct "Real" LEGO then again, there is LDD.
