Zoom in

A simple technical exercise; to see if I can build a halfway decent ship.

About this creation

Since the school holidays are here, I had to occupy myself. This was just something to waste my time on, and the colors and the simplicity aside, I like it.

This was essentially to see if I can build a proper playable ship, since the last one I built was too heavy since I stuffed it with bricks. Anyway, this took me about a day or two, and it's pretty damn sturdy. I threw it around for a bit and nothing came off. I even held it by the "horn" for a bit and it didn't snap and crash to the ground, sending me into a fit of intolerable rage.

The interior wasn't really my focus, so you just see a cockpit, a cargo bay with giant doors, and a room with a window. You can see where I ran out of black bricks easily.

Quoting Michael Rutherford Yes! Build with what you have on hand, and make no excuses. Lots of people like to say: "I would build better stuff if I had the parts"...that's a lot of garbage! You are pushing hard to make a good ship with the parts you have. Bravo. Attack!

That's the only good thing with limited parts; I get to play around with how things work and stuff. Anyone can build with unlimited bricks, so I try and build with what I have. It's much more challenging.
