and I kinda wish I had the lego collection to pull something like that off.

nice work.
Brick link is a wonderful place... But I've been playing with Lego since I was 2 when the FBI got me some Duplo, so it's been a long time building my collection. But yea I had to order large quantities of bricks from brick link to make this thing.

Ehh, my ship is nothing. You need to look at these ships:

Yes I'm a girl.

*EDIT*
Since you seemed interested, here are explanations for some of the smaller star fighters you see next to the Sonks.

Very well done and welcome to the forums. That aside you forgot one of the most impressive S.H.I.P.s (forgot what the acronym meant) ever built that I've seen. I Present the Blacktron II capital ship http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=241636
NOT MINE!

Edit: I'm not trying to say yours is bad, it's great. I wish I had enough Identicaly colored parts to make a S.H.I.P(a lego spacecraft more than 100 studs long).

S.H.I.P. was an acronym that originated on zemi.net before it died (for reference, zemi.net was the site that standardized moonbase construction techniques and corridor connections.) that means Seriously Huge Investment in Parts, and refers to any star ship that is 100 studs long or more in any dimension.

And yea that blacktron ship... That's a work of art, is what it is. If you want tons of identical parts, order them with LDD or from bricklink.

There's one on brick shelf that's bigger than the tribunal. It looks kinda like Voyager from Star Trek, only blue. Forget its name tho.

Awesome SHIP! You could remove the top and have a Brikwar all inside it, even!

Nice. I never expected a SheFOL to come out with something a SHIP like this.

And the biggest ship I've ever seen is this Yamoto on the B-Shelf. That thing is huge!

Also, I actually got to see that Blacktron ship in real life, at Brickfest '07. It's amazing, even more so in person.

I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

I think so, but I'm not sure. Never got into moonbase.

It might still be there, but no new posts or updates of any kind are coming. Hence it is 'dead'.

Dead == inactive, rather than dead = down?

He made a thread about it. I'm surprised* you didn't notice earlier.

*not really.

EDIT: I fixed them. Wow, that was weird.

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.
