A one of a kind ship, the
Banana In Pyjamas is the Strayan Empire's first attempt at building a SHIP. halfway through building the shipyard ran completely out of paint, rather than wait for paint, it was rushed into service and retains the nickname "Rainbow Warrior". At 116 studs long, it qualifies for the destroyer class easily.
From the front we can see the 7" railgun and 10" laser cannon, as well as the radar dish, the twin 6" swivel guns,and the quad linked 3" point defense system.

Very cool, I will make a Proper SHIP in a few years when I have my own house and don't have to rely on my Mother to authorise MY Bricklink orders.
But this is really awesome!!!!

Scratch set up a new trend in SHIP model photography.
Very nice. I like the bulky bridge at the front, looks like a Hammerhead shark.

Very cool. Personally I like the townhouse style bits on the front. Keeps the space-weary sailor at ease, I suppose.

Yeah, I took a bit of inspiration from the Starcraft Battlecruiser and the Klingon Negh'Var heavy cruiser

It's pretty cool. I would make the wings a bit thicker... build them up with slopes maybe, but mostly that's a sweet SHIP.

Nice. Better than the now computerised Australian kids tv show.

Glad to see my example followed
I like the windows on the side so you can stick your head out and get some space air, the banana should be the payload it drops.

It just occurred to me this SHIP should be named "B3"
