It's like 'Through the Nerdhole'

I was bored a while ago and took some pics of my room and flat, and some of a lego model I made. It's an approximation of the Delphinus ship from Skies of Arcadia,
but with Ramirez's ship colours as I didn't have enough silver and blue bits. Also the Moonstone cannon folds from the underside, as I couldn't make a decent sliding mechanism (not to mention splitting the nose in half), and I added some solar panels that fold out from the sides for fun. It took me about 3 days to make, and then I spent a few hours making it shorter to make it look better. I think it's really good, the only thing I don't like is that the hull is bulky and square apart from at the front, because the solar panel folding mechanism takes up a fair bit of space. You get the idea of a curve from the front though.


The other pics are fairly self-explanatory, if a bit self-indulgent. Meh. Sorry for the quality, they were taken by some ancient Kodak 2MP wood-fired camera. Pixorz.

See you!

  2. I've never played Skies of Arcadia, although I have a demo of it...maybe I should give it ago. I've heard great things about it.

  3. Yeah, it's great. Probably the best RPG on DC (not v. hard admittedly.)

    I have 10 more GC games than in the picture, I was just using those ones to stand the model on.

  4. I might try out the GC version sometime because theres apparently extra bosses and other new features than in the DC version.

    Also, nice work on the model!
