The blue and yellow is a nice color scheme, you have nice weapon systems, however it looks like you have enough space to mount a huge gun on the bottom, Im talking like space to ground ion cannon.... YES.

You do realise blue and yellow was the color scheme of classic space?

It's only a Corvette (CT) an escort ship, not a planet killer of the line. The captain seems a bit exposed up front however, doesn't he like the bridge crew? If he was in the bridge then you could put a ton of missiles or guns where he used to sit.

Blue and grey was the colour of classic Lego Space or white and grey and then later blue and white. Can't recall much yellow, some but not much.

blue was used for cockpits and buildings
gray for wings and engines
trans-yellow for windows
yellow and black for the bumble bee stripes.

Yarp!

I Know, I own one of 'em (one of many, many others from the same range), it was one of my first main sets and easily my most favourite. I lived through the Space Lego years man, I have the nostalgia to prove it. There were only a few stripes of yellow and black on this but very effective IMO.

Anyway, I think Cpt. Zipps creation is way cool and very retro wich takes cool to awesome. Well done sir!

I created the ship to match my Time-Traveling Super Sandwich Guy army that I will post soon.

I forgot to take a pic of it but there is an energy weapon mounted right under the front.

I do not have any more room to put on a death cannon because the weapons are already maxed out.

at first I put all of the guns on and they fit with the size perfectly. Then I looked over and saw all of the torpedos laying on the floor and I thought DAMN. So I made it bigger and put them on but then I noticed the energy cannon on the front that I forgot to include and I thought DAMN AGAIN. So I made it bigger again.

It's only a corvette because I was sort of comparing it to the Sonks and that's only a corvette and this is even smaller than that so...

actually according to wikipedia size wise the sonks/knoss should be a destroyer as corvettes are smaller than frigstes.

Well I finally got around to taking photos of the new updated Shapiro and here it is.

Unfortunatly, I am gonna need to take more pics later because I took off <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of guns for the Space Commie's ship. Look for the Re-Refit

The new bridge in two parts, the captain and co-pilot and the rest.

The new Death Ray.

The Hanger.

New guns and stuff.

And the best part...

wher is mega maid?

Fantastic! I like the weapons, especially the turrets. I guess the grumpy Captain still can't stand the crew (haha). I need more details (like Natalya's Venus Destroyer thread). What are all these weapons? Where's the crew, can we see? I want back story and details. Also, what the heck are you running this ship on that the engine has to be run out on a platform, like a mile outside the ship? No fear of ejecting that warp core, it's already ejected.

Engineering is in the blue boxy thing under the back end. I am trying to make stats for everything but it will be a while
