Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks for looking!
Another angle of spaceship earth at night. I dont know that you can have enough angles and colors for these photos.
Benny made a SPACESHIP!
He was disappointed with the overall look of the first one he made, so taking the pieces from that he made himself a sleek sports-ship. With a whole-lot of non-classic-space junk left over.
Three days into Comicon and when I finally have time to get more than 4 hours of sleep, I wake up at 4AM and can't get back to sleep. So I made a spaceship.
It was fairly frustrating trying to get a classic-space look out of only the Benny's Spaceship set. So very little of what's in there is classic-space-y. Classic space did not have an undercarriage. There go half the pieces. It had a lot of blue bricks. Uh-oh. It had horizontal hinges. Nope.
Oh well. I guess I'm satisfied for a couple-hour build after very little sleep every night for the last six nights.
The Almen is a newer version (B variant) of the Adeiffen-Class Heavy Battlecruiser.

The Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battle Cruiser is arguably the strongest warships in the galaxy and was the Concero Republics strongest vessel until the Tramendant-Class Battlecruiser. Its original design dates back to the First Piracy War when UPS forces (Union of Planetary States) called for a large battle cruiser capable of launching at least five-hundred fighter craft into battle. Jixn Shipyards jump at the chance to build such a ship. However, the Jixn Shipyard design was declined by UPS forces, and instead they went with the battle tested Tronde Shipyards new [name] battlecruiser. The Adeiffen design went into the “designers vault” and there it stayed for almost a century. During the Second Piracy War the Jixnor Democracy realized that it was lacking a true, modern battle cruiser capable of flagship status – so it called its most trusted shipwright, Jixn Shipyards, to manufacture a large battle cruiser. Jixn Shipyard struggled to find a design capable of accomplishing everything the Jixnor Democracy called for. After many agonizing weeks of failed designs and sleepless nights the Jixn Shipyard board of design, in desperation, began looking at all its failed and past designs in the “designers vault” and stumbled onto the plans of the Adeiffen-Class battle cruiser. Jixn Shipyard greatly changed the ships interior, but did little to the exterior except add four burst cannons and addition point defense systems. The century old Adeiffen was an amazingly modern design.
The Adeiffen-Class has the amazing capability to carry over one-thousand fighter craft and their pilots. This is all due to the Adeiffens large hanger bay that runs almost the entire length of the ship. This impressive amount of fighter craft gives the Adeiffen an enormous advantage over the conventional battle cruiser. But the large hanger bay and numerous fighters do come at a cost of decreased fire power and power in general, and more facilities are needed to house the pilots and service crews for the fighter craft. The large amount of fighter craft also call for a large control center to insure all one-thousand fighter craft are use efficiently and run smoothly. Thus the Adeiffen has a second bridge located toward the bow of the craft, right above the hanger bay doors. This second bridge is larger than the primary bridge and is used exclusively for fighter craft purposes.
Like all Jixnor warships the Adeiffen has exceptional maneuverability, a fast lightspeed engine and slow sublight speed. It does however, lack two of the key staples of many Jixnor warships, the ability fly in an atmosphere, and missile tubes. The Adeiffen was the most maneuverable battlecruiser until the America-Class Battlecruiser (which really was a mini-battlecruiser and not a true battlecruiser). The Adeiffen could run circles around older Trynin warships, and was more maneuverable than most Trynin frigates. One of the reasons for the Adeiffens exceptional maneuverability is due to its external engine braking systems which can redirect the ion thrust up to ninety degrees and with the help of magnetic thrust vectors it can redirect the ion thrust up to one-hundred thirty degrees. These thrust vectors allow the Adeiffen to have a high reverse speed.
The weapons aboard the Adeiffen are formidable to say the least. Twenty-four Hinton cannons all effectively positioned to provide an pure fire arc give the Adeiffen no blind spots to speak of – and as if that’s not enough the Adeiffen has over six-hundred point defense systems! The Adeiffen is also one of the first Concero Republic vessels that supports the new burst cannons without any modifications.
The Adeiffens two bow appendages house the battery banks, the communications array, numerous sensor arrays, and housing for up to two marine groups. The aft appendages house the engines, additional living quarters, and batter banks for the lightspeed engine. The appendages are vital to the survival of the vessel which makes them prime targets in battle; but they are more than adequately armored, and the Adeiffen can more than manage if one or even two are destroyed. Another amazing thing about the Adeiffen is that its appendages are easily interchangeable between ships. This allows heavily damaged Adieffen-Class vessels to be repaired rather than scrapped, it also allows for faster repair time. It does however allow for some colorful mismatches and since most Jixnor captains are zealous when it comes to their ships many Adeiffen-Class vessels, when idol, are in a shipyard getting a paint job done.
Approximately twenty Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruisers were built and only two were destroy (but not forgot for the two destroyed vessels were stripped of their appendages which serve aboard other Adeiffen-Class vessels). Only two subgroups were manufacture, the Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruiser which is the one being described, and the other the Amaffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruiser. Nineteen Adeiffen-Class cruisers and one Amaffen-Class cruiser were built. The Amaffen is a slightly larger version of the Adeiffen and feature over twelve-thousand fighter craft, a class four shield generator, and eight additional Hinton cannons; it also feature a more efficient power supply and an upgraded electronic systems. The Amaffen served as the Jixnor Democracy’s flagship during the entire Agronomic War but was replace by the Rander (a Tramendant-Class Battlecruiser) once the war ended. However, in the event the Rander is called upon by the Concero Republic, there is no doubt that the Amaffen will once again serve as the Jixnor Democracy’s flagship.
An Adeiffen-Class vessel has served in every single battle during the Agronomic War, including both Battles of Blandimen and the invasion of Est Fellen. It served the Concero Republic well during the Agronomic War and there is no doubt that it will continue to serve the Jixnor Democracy and its allies for years to come. The Jixnor Democracy is currently updating the current fleet of Adeiffen-Class vessels with new electronics and more efficient power supplies. There are even rumors that the Jixnor Democracy plans on increasing the Adeiffen fleet from eighteen vessels to forty-eight! The Adeiffen will no doubt be around long enough to squelch whatever adversary crosses the Jixnor Democracy!
In the first scene of Star Wars, we see a small spaceship pursued by a much larger monolithic star cruiser which keeps coming and coming and coming. When I look up at the enormous buildings in London today and flip the image upside down, they remind me of these star cruisers...
Three copies of 31066 make a pretty decent City/Creator Space line for 2017, even if it's hard to see with potato quality photos.
this illustration is from the april 21, 1961 issue of Life magazine. the issue mostly deals with yuri gagarin's successful mission to space and what it meant for america. to pick up everyone's spirits, life ran a bunch of illustrations to show what our spacecraft might look like if we ever got around to building any.
the caption (not visible) reads:
An Aerospace Cop to Help Police The Beat
"As vehicles of all kinds are spewed into space, the problem of policing the traffic will arise. Some of the objects will be harmless derelicts whose only crime is that they are blocking the road. Others, like thecluster of casings show drifting past earth (upper right) may turn out to be military platforms orbited by an enemy to release bombs on command. The U.S. must be prepared to look them all over from maneuverable interceptors, like this one, equipped with sensing devices to detect dangerous weapons and armed with rockets to destroy the offenders."
sounds exciting. it's interesting that nearly 50 years later, there is plenty of space debris, but we still don't even have more than two spacecraft in orbit at any one time, including the space station.
the other interesting thing to me is that in the context of the events of the day, there certainly seems to be a veiled threat against the soviets here, like "you might've gotten there first, but we are going to militarize space with these cool interceptors...so don't get any big ideas."
i scanned this image to add it to the new "In the Year 2000" group. life magazine was still large format back then, so the picture is larger than my scanner. sorry.
This photograph was taken at a recent exhibit, "Spaceships," seen at the Acquavella Galleries on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The exhibit featured recent works by New York-based artist Tom Sachs. In the front is "Litter Robot," and behind it (on the wall) is "Backshell."
This building is really looking like a spaceship but It is not, it's the Pavillon 21 at the Staatsoper Munich

This was my first trip to Disney with a DSLR. Our first day in the parks and I had to get a good shot of Spaceship Earth!
Any critiques are welcome!
A scene from Epcot's Spaceship Earth.
"The pharaoh dictates decrees which are copied onto scrolls by his scribe. The scribe (not pictured here) uses a simplified cursive form of hieroglyphics — a sort of ancient shorthand if you will. The hieroglyphics on the surrounding walls are authentic recreations from actual Egyptian structures".
