I have built this Battleship from R-Type  (Stage3)

I constructed it via LegoDigitalDesigner LDD. Made the partlist pdf and ordered via bricklink.

Data: construction time = 4months; building time = 1 month; costs = 1500€; parts = about 10000; weight = about 20kg; able to carry per 2 hands; very stable; only one color; mostly build by retro parts; only 140 different parts

 

 

Sweet Jesus, that is some project!

An absolute unit! Very impressive build. The overall shape and turret placement make it looking extraordinary. Also, making an interesting starship using only color can be quite a challenge but you did this very well. Nothing boring about this ship! I have never built something this big, because I would not have the patience and/or bricks, but when you make something like this, do you plan on keeping this forever? Or will you take it a apart at some point to use the parts on another project?

Very nice indeed, and a fun source of inspiration :)  

Very nice, R-type was one of my favourite games as a kid.  I can remember flying under this thing many times.
