Wombat, remember this thread Lego Ship Set.

Yes I do. I've been working on the shipset since then. Almost done. I've designed most of the ships from real lego sets from the 'classic space' series.

It would have been done sooner but "real life" keeps getting in the way.

I've just gotten ADSL set up at home and hope to try to finish them soon.

Wombat: I still HAVE that series of space Legos. In fact, I was planning to create an SE4 shipset based on them, but like other people, real life got in the way...

I just posted my Lego shipset. Take a look.

DirectorTsaarx: I still have them as well, but all in a cardboard box in storage.

Great looking shipset wombat! I know you put many hours into this. I look forward to playng against them. I do not look forward to the leggo's I may buy for the kid to do another leggo's race! those damn things are expensive

Nice shipset. I also like the racial description - good explanation of why you need a 10kT bridge and 10kT crew quarters for one pilot...

I notice the dreadnought is from a later Lego series than the other ships... but a nice choice nonetheless.

Too bad Lego's current space stuff is either Star Wars or Mars. I'd like to see them do some more original designs...

I know. The "Galaxy Explorer" used for the battleship was the largest Classic Space lego I could find. As it was I had to make a few of my own for the smaller ships.

I don't like the space stations but I was at the end of my creative rope when I got to that point.
