DwalinF Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I wanted to build it for next Shiptember, but its impossible to wait if an idea in your head doesn't want to leave it 24/7. For sure its not 100 studs long but also not so small. I try to realize similarity with early battleships of XX century, added a big headlight like in steam locomotive, some other elements I took from art, I found in internet. And as a result we have this: the corvette bearing the number 04. It is one of Iron-class spaceships from Morgrim squadron. His captain is fearless Quark Quasarsson. I don't know why but I've invented the crew also. There is no space inside the ship to put them in, so they can only stand on the deck. But I just like them. Funny characters with cool names. On the group photo you can see the Captain itself, his helper boatswain Wimp Fuorsson, cannoneers squad an their Corporal Blazar HI, techintians and First engineer Pulsar Higgs. Some details Spoiler Quote
ExeSandbox Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I really love the shape of that spaceship! It's really unique! The varying amount of details on the ship is a nice touch as well. Quote
Mylenium Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Pretty awesome! I'm not into steampunk-ish stuff usually, but this made me grin. Mylenium Quote
Mestari Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Fantastic! I wonder how you put it on shelf. Does it need to be supported somehow? Quote

Churchill Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 The headlight and the shape in the front add to the locomotive look. Great job! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 You definitely nailed the retro-astro-mechanical look here (not exactly steampunk, but there's some overlap) and I love it. The piping along the bottom edge, the iron-clad warship look to it--so many wonderful details, while keeping a unique and almost whimsical overall shape. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Gorgeous MOC and impressive pictures! Beautiful design! Quote
Cylo Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 This looks very nice! The front curves are done well. Quote
sander1992 Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 That is an interesting looking ship. I really like the shape of it and the engines are nicely done. Quote

I think it's closer to dieasselpunk, but let be true - it is a whole new style of "something-punk" @LEGO Train 12 Volts, @Reaper, @sander1992 thank you very much! Quote
ProvenceTristram Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Lol, I love the crew. Does the ship have any kind of interior? Edited April 20, 2019 by ProvenceTristram Quote

The construction of some elements, such as portholes takes a lot of inner space and there is too small space left for interior. So I decided not to do it. Edited April 21, 2019 by DwalinF Quote
ZapsBricks Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Hi. Are you planning on selling the parts list and instructions? Thanks Quote
Lufobrick Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 This is really brilliant ! The shape, that kind of "soviet touch" and all the details make it 100% original. Quote

Lufobrick Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Oops, I didn't see that you we're Ukrainian ! I think it's remind me the old ships from 1900, as we can see in the movie "Le cuirassé Potemkine" (sorry I don't know the name in english). Quote

Yeah, exactly this kind of ships from early 1900 inspired me for this shape. Just for me "soviet times" is associated with 60'-70' years Quote
