We all have the same journey, existing and dying. Nature doing it, we don't need to do the killing-job of the nature for each other. Our enemies are sicknesses.

So when I had first created this, I had thought of having the inclusion of an interior would be impossible or would seriously reduce the structural integrity of the model. But after I posted this model, I knew that I had to try to give it an interior. So that is what I did.
It took a good chunk of the day, plenty of frustration, pulled hair, fried braincells, and a vast reduction in my sanity. XD
Anyways though, the updates include.
An interior(duh!) ;)
Strengthened weak points.
And detachable nose.
Hope you like the upgraded version! :)

The Battle of Murtaugh had ended when the morning broke red on the horizon. The blood stained hue of the first light pushed back against the shadow of a brutally cruel and violent night to reveal that every soldier who had fought through the darkness had died in pursuit of the fight. For the dawning star lifted the veil from in front of those few remaining credulous eyes that had desperately hoped to find that they had survived the shrouded campaign in their own skin; only to discover in the carnage that remained that all they had done was preserve a broken shell of a soul that they would never be again.

The LRCS (Long Range Cargo Ship) Lifebringer is the economical backbone of the Galactic Empire of the United Earth. Its large cargo pods can carry huge amounts of resources, hence the name, Lifebringer. Its Valkyrie Class engine powers the whole ship, providing protection and comfort for the crew and the cargo. Often accompanied by I-17 Scavenger pods which repair any damages that might develop while the Lifebringer goes on long missions.

This project took me just over two weeks to finish, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Its my first SHIP that I've ever made, so constructive critiscism would be appreciated. :)
The SHIP is 114 studs long without antenna. With antenna, its 123 studs long. It has an interior, and is actually pretty sturdy. Props to Luigi Priori for the Xenomorph design. :) Also I would like to thank Simon Liu, VAKKron and everyone else for all of the encouragement that you guys gave me. It really helped out!

The hypocrisy of the west has not gone unnoticed.
In 2007 Nicolas Sarkozy defends Libyan arms deal.
In 2007 Libya reached a multi-million dollar deal to buy anti-tank missiles and radio systems from the European aerospace giant EADS, in what would be the first such purchase since an arms embargo was lifted on Tripoli in 2004. French Defence Minister Herve Morin confirmed Friday that a letter of intent had been signed for the sale of Milan anti-tank missiles and a radio communications system worth, according to a Libyan official, 396 million euros (405 million dollars). The deal is likely to spark some controversy, coming so soon after France played a key role in brokering the release of six foreign medics sentenced to life imprisonment in Libya. Sarkozy, who travelled to Tripoli a day after the medics' were freed, has denied that their release was linked to any arms deal.

AN IMPORTANT VIDEO TO WATCH
Chossudovsky on Libyan 'Battle for Oil'
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjMDO9qWeTw
Libya Oil Grab Disguised As Humanitarian Assistance
Yesterday, a CBS News headline read "Libya rebels beg for no-fly as bombings persist". What is remarkable is that the article gives virtually no information on who are those Libyans that are begging for a no-fly zone.
The only information CBS provides as to the identity of the beggars is in the following paragraph:
In a firsthand look at why Libya's rebels are begging for a no-fly zone, CBS News was first on the scene after a bombing. People ignored the danger and raced to show the damage.
But there's no shortage of others begging for a no-fly zone.
According to the Agence France Presse (March 7), "The Gulf Cooperation Council demands that the UN Security Council take all necessary measures to protect civilians, including enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya".
The Guardian (March 4) reported that the British prime minister, David Cameron,
caused some surprise on both sides of the Atlantic when he called for Britain and its allies to draw up plans for a no-fly zone over Libya, was offered important support by Barack Obama on Thursday night. American military planners had been instructed to draw up a full range of options, including a no-fly zone, Obama said at the White House during a press conference with his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon.
And one has only to turn on CNN to see that most of the debate is about a no-fly zone over Libya. Essentially missing are the voices of the Libyan rebels themselves.
"Hafiz Ghoga, a spokesman for the protesters' new National Libyan Council, insisted that calls for foreign intervention were entirely unwelcome, adding that the protesters have taken most of the nation and "the rest of Libya will be liberated by the people", according to Jason Ditz, at Antiwar.com.
Yesterday's editorial in the Guardian offers sound advice:
Some Libyan rebels have called for a no-fly zone, but until now - and this may change - the mood of the Libyan uprising is that this is their fight and their fight alone. Quite apart from the unwarranted legitimacy a bombing campaign would (once again) confer on the Libyan leader among his rump support in Tripoli and the damage it would do to attempts to split his camp, a major western military intervention could have unforeseen political consequences for the very forces it would be designed to support. A no-fly zone saved lives in Kurdish northern Iraq, but failed to protect the Shias in the south under Saddam Hussein. The moral strength of the Libyan rebels and their political claim to represent the true voice of the people both rest partly on the fact that, like the Egyptians and the Tunisians, they have come this far alone. The revolt is theirs, they are no one else's proxy, and the struggle is about ending tyranny rather than searching for new masters. Even if Gaddafi's forces succeed in checking the advance of rebel forces, and the civil war becomes protracted, it is the home-grown nature of this revolt that contains the ultimate seeds of the destruction of Gaddafi's regime. Thus far, it is Gaddafi and his sons who have had to import hired guns from abroad.

"Earth exploded in a blaze of tiny lights, each one the funeral pyre of a great city. The watchers on the Moon saw their planet die -- and with it all but a few of the human race. There were a few hundred on the Moon, a few thousand on Mars. And each group was in the clutch of a war-mad dictator! But the embers of their dead planet sparked a brain-blasting revolution that swept the galaxy: a revolution of exiles in an alien universe-with nothing left to lose." [From the back cover]

Here they are, the first two Space Gladiators I have completed so far.
I'm currently working on Flailer Droid V.2., and the same design (with one arm replaced by another regular arm) will be used for the other same-styled Gladiator War Droids. It currently has a thick/fat belly, but I dunno if I should make that thinner or not. Suggestions?

Despite any technical inaccuracies, proportionality errors, etc., I find his work to be visually rich and evocative - both dystopian and utopian. If not mistaken, he eventually also wrote articles to accompany his works.

Spacewar!, the first widely distributed computer game, running on the world's only working, restored PDP-1, at the Computer History Museum. Now I can say I've played Spacewar! on an actual PDP-1! Sweet. :)
They run a demo at 2pm and 2:45pm the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
I've uploaded a video clip of the PDP-1 demo, which also includes a music demo.
