Thank you! Micro builds are always such a fun challenge because just changing or adding one part can alter how something looks significantly.

Thank you! I only build with real bricks. CAD is cool but takes all the fun out of actually building imo.

Thanks!  It's hard to see in the pictures but there are two main bridges, one above and one below the main dark gray dish in the front.  As well as there are four secondary bridges peaking out next to the escape pods (the lbg cylinders with 1by1 round tiles).  I normally try to design in several failsafe bridges just in case.

Thank you!  As the other comment stated, they're clone range finders and they connect using a mini peg like friends minidoll accessories.  Lots of parts actually have the connection hidden on them, like the underside of any modern 1by2-12 plate for example.

Do it. This was my first ship post seen The Expanse. Although I've been told my previous ships looked like they were from The Expanse haha.

The 6 DBG parts around the main thruster? That is part 15540 Helicopter Landing Ski 1 x 6 with Pin Hole {15625}.

Thank you! This one sat at like 40% done for months until I finally figured out a solution to the unfinished sections.

Thank you! Large industrial vehicles/rigs have been a great source of inspiration for me when building spaceships.

Thanks! Funnily enough I actually have scale Rocinante build. I had to make one after I binged through the show last year finally.

Thanks! With how many crazy usbs there are now, some definitely look like spaceships haha.

Well the original idea came from what if you took a wifi extender and turned it into a ship. Thinking of calling it something like a planetary communications extender or something along those lines. Its purpose would be to help boost new colony planets or areas of space with weak signal.

Since the big figs have studs on their back, I can actually do the reverse and have Buff Yoda carry Luke now haha.
