Sucellus
After nearly a month of building, close to ten thousand pieces and two and a half hernias trying to lift it, Sucellus is officially finished!
She measures in at 125 studs long (137 if you include the antennae),46 studs tall, 24 studs wide and weighs around 30 LBS. That makes it the biggest SHIP I have ever built and it's the longest I've ever spent on a single MOC.
Now for some fantastically futuristic storytelling!
In the year 2140, Earth's temperature has climbed to unlivable heights. These temperatures have made it impossible to grow crops and going outside for a walk would kill you in five minutes flat. To solve both of these problems, NASA launched Sucellus, the first of many agriculture ships into orbit around the sun. The curved side of the ship faces the sun and can house millions of crops of varied species it has large ventilation fans to expel excess heat and an extremely thick hull to protect the crops and crewmen from the dangerous radiation.
The flat side of the ship solves the other problem on Earth. This side houses hundreds of thousands of civilians. Each home has a breathtaking galaxy view and all the fresh fruits and veggies you can eat. This side is facing away from the sun so most of the radiation is blocked.
Within the next twenty years, at least fifty of these ships will orbit the sun. Some will be modified to carry livestock, factories, and even recreational facilities. Thus creating a home away from home.
The End?
That's the idea anyway. I just want to take a second to thank everyone involved in SHIPtember for getting me off my ass and building again. Everyone from the organizers to the people crazy enough to build a SHIP in a month. With all the amazing WIPs being posted, it really motivated me to build to the best of my abilities and for that I thank you all!
