I've started designing this ship in CAD way back in May of 2014. Initially I intended to build it out of paper/cardboard in a much smaller scale. At some point I tried to adapt the CAD drawings to the Lego format and began building. After a failed attempt which resulted in a scale I was not happy with I figured out a fitting size that would let my allow to translate my vision to Lego. After a very long building process I can say that I'm very happy to have actually finished this project.

 

Parts count: close to 6000 pieces
