B.S.S. Shapiro Corvette

Post by **Cpt. Zipps** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:01 pm

After being inspired by Natalya's sonks I decided to build my own starship for my army of Time-Traveling Super Jews. So I give you, The Shapiro.

The Shapiro is 37" long and it's weapons make full use of that. She has a crew of 10 plus Captain Bowman, Chief Engineer Doohan and Security Detail.

One of the four dual heavy laser turrets.

A medium dual laser cannon turret.

A light laser turret.

One of the missile launchers

The Shield Projector.

The main sensor array.

The rear missile launchers.

Another Medium turret.

Another heavy turret and the bridge.

The blue boxy thing is the engineering section.

Captain Bowman at the front of the ship( points if you know the referance).

Main controls.

The bridge.

I didn't take a picture of it but there is also an energy weapon in the front.

looks cool, but a bit rainbowy and un-aerodynamic. nice ideas on some of the weapons though for shure!

The colours match my army.

Aw come on fella's (J+B and Piltogg) at least try to acknowledge that before the centre of the universe gravitated towards you on the day of your births that there might have been other things going on prior to you. This looks great and reminds me of Mark Salwowski (among others) Sci Fi Novel illustrations from way back, even before I was born. I grew up with this stuff. I salute you Cpt. Zipps, very retro and it even has a Space Lego look to it too. Nice.

Make the exterior weapons look more sophisticated and post some inside pics. How long is it in bricks?

1" is about 3 studs and it's 37" long soo...

I agree about the weapons and I wil ty to post pics of the inside as soon as I add more to it.

Thanks for the input.

Old skool, highly impressive.

I've been repeatedly trying to build a BlackTRON cruiser and failing to make anything that doesn't look like an interconnected set of boring boxes with uninspired turrets. I think this design has shown me I need many more sloping bricks regardless of whether I go SNOT or not.

nice ship like the over all lines. laser cannon coverage looks good overall. whats the ships compliment though

it doesn't need to be aero dynamic.
i think its pretty awesome and its inspired me to try my hand at a space ship.
