USS Viking - SHIPtember 2016 final poster
My entry for SHIPtember 2016!
Name: USS Viking
Designation: JYL-class destroyer.
Measures: 130 studs (including the antennas in front).
Building time: 5 days.
Armament:
2 Ion Cannons (on top).
2 Tripple-barrel Fusion Cannons (one on each side).
Backstory:
Designed and manufactured during the mining-wars, the USS Viking was the largest ship in the EAA (Earth Alliance Armada). It's primary objective was to provide protection for the less heavily armored transport-ships in the mining-fleet. Produced over a period of 28 years, the JYL-class destroyers are by far the longest running ship-type ever to be manufactured, and was crucial in securing resources for the EAAs continued dominance throughout the galaxy.
This was my first attempt at a SHIP and it went by a lot faster than I had imagined. The SHIP was built without an internal frame but holds together very nicely with its outer hull providing the main support. The swosh-factor is "off the charts", despite it's intimidating size! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed planning and building it!
