FXF-500Y Siegfried

FINALLY. It took almost a month of work, countless false starts, every trick I know and a few I made up on the spot, but after a late-night build session in which Silverdream and colette persuaded me it needed drill missiles the Siegfried is finally complete.

Image

What is the Siegfried, you ask? Well... chat regulars will have a pretty good idea, and the rest of you will find out soon.

Image

Top view. I haven't used angles this complex in a long time, but I think the results speak for themselves.

Image
Booty. As befitting a craft with such a huge engine array, the Siegfried has a 36" speed and is Maneuverable. Yes, it's OP, but there is only one of these vehicles in the entire Brikverse and a pretty good set of reasons why it's not feasible to build any more.

Image
This shot is kinda blurry, but it does have the advantage of showing off all the Siegfried's weapons. By my count, it has exactly 5 times its own 6" Size in weaponry... see if you can spot them all!

TBD, if we ever get to Brikwar in real life (since we live relatively close to each other), I want to face the Lancelot off against this thing.

If this never happens, I'm going to be so disappointed.

Somehow microspace creations always appeal more (to me) when they are built from real brix; the only thing I would change is the stand you've got it on - after spending a month making the ship, spend a little while giving it a fitting stand, preferably with colours that fit the build (although I'd imagine that you finished it, leapt up in triumph, grabbed the nearest bricks for a stand and ran off to get the camera). Other than that, your ship has very nice curves. :warhead:

Thanks guys. BTW, for those who don't know, this is minifig scale; it doesn't have any windows for reasons that will become clear later on.

Ahaha, it's no less awesome for this; nice to know for next time I guess.
