The Double Fairlie is a rather bizarre looking engine(s), one of the many eccentric trains that engineers have concocted for narrow gauge railways. Other notes: although this was created in BrickSmith, besides the extravagant choice of brick colors and light-up features, the entire ship is structurally sound and should be physically realizable in a different palette.Ī ‘portrait’ of the second engine, 6927 ‘Polaris’ based on the Double Fairlie, most associated with the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. Retractable walls in the rear hull section provide access to the reactor, maintenance bay, and brig.
Removable roof on the middle hull sections provide access to the turbolift. Fully retractable forward hull sections provide access to the bridge and hangar deck. Pull-out bed in the brig allows for both efficient space utilization and humane treatment of prisoners. Functioning turbolift allowing crew members to traverse the change in local gravity between decks. Weapons and engines are both powered by a Callisto Shipyard's Mk. Standard crew complement of 7 bridge officers, 3 pilots, and 3 maintenance droids.Īrmament includes 4 heavy plasma beam cannons, 4 light plasma beam cannons, and 6 point-defense ion burst turrets, and 4 graviton torpedo projectors. Hours: About 20 hours a week during the duration of the build.Ī highly manueverable corvette with complement of two Hylopetes-class starfighters.
The height is measured to the top of the dome, not the needle. I've swooshed it on Bricksmith's livestream. This is a 2 meter / 7.5 foot Technic spaceship built from May 30th 2019.
The next ship will be a different version. UPDATE: This version 1 is the final state as it fell over and got destroyed. The talented engineers of kingdom Astra have completed the frame of the the Prosperity. Maybe you can count all the classic space astronauts sprinkled throughout the photo.Ĭlick here for the Prosperity Album, which has WIP photos from the beginning until now. Hours: About 20 hours a week during the duration of the build.ĭownload the 46 MP original to zoom in and look at some of the construction techniques and detail. A seed ship bringing the goodwill and cooperation of kingdom Astra to the Systar System and beyond. The Prosperity is the royal flagship of the fleet: a space faring magical castle. I'm 5' 9" tall, and the photo backdrop is 7' tall. Here's a shot of me next to the build for a sense of scale. The fact that it was in clearly proto-Futuron livery while the Relay Station is clearly Classic Blue is problematic too so I've fixed that too.Īnd wheels made of snow-shoes. So this fixes those - a nice big inverted-angle window area for seeing out and a roof fixes the second point, and the first is fixed by a set of variable-height drivetrain booms that allow it to hunker down low to receive its cargo, then the booms rotate up to about 55° to give it the ground clearance it needs to actually traverse the moon/asteroid/"godforsaken rock you've sent me to this time". My two gripes as a kid with the original were: 1) If it's an ATV then why is the Ground Clearance so rubbish? and 2) There's something not right about this cockpit canopy combo. Think I'm getting close to the purest form with the original functions.
