ARC-001 (The Arctana)

The Arctana is my first attempt as an AFOL at a spaceship.

It is designed for long range reconnaissance and radar picketing.

This is a view of the back of the ship, showing the fuel cells and associated conduits.

 

It is much bulkier than originally intended due to the inclusion of the mechanism for automating the cockpit. This consists of a Power Functions motor and linear actuator.

 

Unfortunately, there wasn't room for the battery box, so this remains external (hidden out of shot in these photos), connected via the underside of the ship. There are also Power Functions motors to operate the engine turbines and lights to illuminate the cockpit and sensor array.
