This 250 GTO, S/N 3757, was bought by Nick Mason, Pink Floyd drummer and composer, for approximately $86,000, in 1978.
It is now estimated at $31 million...

Interstellar
- (adjective) occurring or situated between stars.
I made jam for the first time this year. Since my Nana died, I have taken responsibility for preserving the abundance of fruit that still grows in her garden. This is pink gooseberry and rhubarb, although in this teaspoon I think it looks like the formation of a galaxy, a supernova or a distant nebula.
What is this world? I'm off to bathe in the ruby waters and once I'm satisfied, I'll swim to the nearby still, teal-colored pool to contemplate how I got here.

The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
The rear hatch is hinged, of course, to allow access when landed on alien worlds.

It's quite amazing how much you can see in the night sky during a new moon once you get far away from the city. The universe just opens up, reminding you of its unfathomable scale and how small our world (let alone ourselves) is in it. Oddly (or perhaps not so odd), I find that particularly refreshing.
As a professional space nerd I could go on and on about the cool things in this picture. But there are better pictures and better people for that. On a more emotional level, taking these pictures makes me feel as though Mother Nature is gently reminding us of our small place in the cosmos.
The UNEN Botticelli is a heavy interstellar cargo vessel, of a class which first went into production in 2203. This vessel was purchased by the United Nations of Earth for use in mining and cargo transport to the outlying colony of New Courland, near the edge of explored space. In 2221, the Botticelli went missing with a full cargo, and was presumed lost- whether from a technical failure, a meteor shower, or something else, no one knew. Then, a few years later, New Courland received a corrupted emergency transmission from the vessel. The sender claimed that the Botticelli had been intercepted by another ship, originating outside of known space. The UNE covered up the message to avoid encouraging a possible terrorist group. Little did they know this encounter would be the start of something far greater than some small-time pirates…
Stats:
Length: 216 studs/1,080 meters
Crew: 38
Capacity: 144 cargo modules, each 96 meters long; can also be configured with additional fuel/habitation modules, or even additional weapon systems when traveling through pirate space.
Weapons: 6 particle flares, to defend against pirate boarding ships.
Parts: 2725 bricks
That was pretty fun to make. I generally prefer more realistic, near-future sci-fi, and I knew if I ever did a SHIP it would be from this genre. I started off with every intention of making a real-brick SHIP, but after two attempts, I realized I didn’t have the parts to make the ship I wanted to. And so I turned to LDD.
There were still plenty of problems with doing something this size, such as taking 90 seconds to rotate the model 30°, or accidentally deleting every Technic pin in the model. That wasn’t fun to repair. At least photography wasn't a pain. I rendered all these pics to a crazy-overkill level of detail, so make sure to view in all sizes. (And I have the transparent PNG, I'll FM it to whomever does the poster this year :) All in all, I’ll parrot everybody else who built a SHIP, and say I’m quite happy with it and I hope you like it. Oh, and thanks for reading through this SHIP-sized text wall :P

The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
My favourite piece of the build is at the front: the 6x8 black slope, inverted. This was my starting point.
The last addition was the landing gear. Fully retractable would have been nice but at this scale I had to settle for 'easily removable'.
