Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it! In my original plans I had two circular supports on each side that the buildings clung to the higher up it went. But with the space I had and the ability to build easy circles it evolved into this instead.

This is my second fantasy/castle creation: the Castle Bridge. The old bridge was said to have been build by the giants and spans the wide canyon of Medelus. As the canyon separated two great kingdoms the beige became a center of trade and cross-cultural interaction. As traders and farmers and armies crossed the bridge a vibrant community began to build their homes on, under, and into the bridge. Now it isn't only old masonry that holds the bridge up but a combination of years and years of construction. The left side is one of vibrant color and life. A decade ago a huge arched building covered the bridge and became a base of shops but now it has crumbled to stubs and new houses fill it's windows. The kingdom on this side is one of trade and open air markets. The right side is the fortified end. The kingdom that over looks this side has always been more interested in battle than peaceful living. A tall tower overlooks this end and makes sure no one that the kingdom doesn't want crosses over the bridge. A windmill on this side also supplies grain to the soldiers that have to live on the tower. The bridge is life to a whole rash of different personalities. There are tumblers, and shop owners, and knights crossing the bridge, even a princess or two. Hope you like it! Comments and criticisms are welcome!

So Mocpages is down so you can see more pictures at flickr:

It looks like Mocpages went down.

So this is my first SHIP and one of my first space creations at all! Inspired by some of the recent SHIP that have been finished recently, namely the Manticore and the Calamity Jane, I wanted to build my own. After researching SHIPs and concept art for awhile I came to the idea of building a vertical Alien vessel. So this still keeps to the over 100 stud standard, in fact unless you count the complete length of the tentacles base to the the very top of the antennae is almost exactly 100 studs. The SHIP has 2 lazar turrets, 2 mini hangars with small attack craft, 2 airlocks, 2 missile bays, and four decks, as well as the four tentacles. The ship is meant as a highly maneuverable battle ship that can snag other ships and crush them with the four strong tentacles. The attack craft are of a similar design. They're supposed to be extremely fast and maneuverable but lack strong armor or weaponry beside two melee tentacles. The SHIP has four detailed decks including a weapon control station, main bridge, stasis beds, and airlock chamber.

Update: Interior photos.

UPDATE

Hmmm. I have to say that the fact that the skin hasn't changed from the Hallowe'en one for me means that I'm not as excited about this as the rest of you.

New update

I think I' going with Kraken since I think the tentacles are too flimsy now so I'm going to add bigger ones lower.

New Update;

Yet another update. Check main post for details.

New Update. See the main post for the new stand and lazars!

Thanks everyone. I've just decided for reasons of accessibility and ease of reconstruction I'm going to split the command area into three parts. Hangar, command deck, and roof.

I've updated the photos with my new progress. Since it's spring break I'll try to get a lot done.
