I am very happy to announce that I finished the largest portion of the engine!

Spoiler:

And EXTREMELY pissed to note that when stood vertically as intended, it stands at 303 meters tall! Apparently I made an error when making the slanted portion with the heat sinks and maneuvering thrusters! (it should have been a 1/1 angle, but instead I made it 1/2!) So that section needs to be completely remade. Shit.

I like it. It's rather cute.

Cute huh? That's a lot of talk from the guy whose biggest ship was copy and pasted off of mine....

A thruster shell? So that's what they're called. I just call them dust covers...

Alright!! I have finished all but the back of the main thruster!

I put the finishing touches on the top and slanted sides, and made the indented part. Then I mirrored it, copied that, flipped it, and then turned the whole thing on its side!

Here is the result:

Awesome!
I can´t wait to see your dreadnaught finished, even the thrusters are epic!

I've always been too afraid to do detailing that 3D. I am envious.

That's a just a thruster.

Oh. My. God. That's MASSIVE and detailed. How long did it take you to build that?!

Well, I just checked and it looks like I started on the thrusters on 9/29/12. So about three weeks. 5 weeks in total for the whole ship!

I cannot see myself spending that long on anything.

The stern of a ship refers to the rear end of it, as the bow refers to the front.

SOOOOO jelly right now.

ALL FREAKING RIGHT!!! The main thruster is finally finished! Here's the view from the rear of the ship.

Spoiler:

That is the 3rd most awesome Minecraft creation I've ever seen! However, I don't understand it. Are you going to have two of these thrusters? Is this just the thruster and is there still going to be a cover?



And Billy, would you consider teaming up with me to build the Banhammer? You are the only other person I'd trust to get it right.



Please note this computer doesn't have spell-chekc.


Edit: Okay, you've just been bumped down to fourth. I just found an epic futuristic city that beats your ship.

He's modelling the engines after the old 1978 Battlestar. The twin engines and other random stuff of the hull looks similar. Mashup starship?

Do you notice how a few minutes after posting that comment, I made a thread about a futuristic city I found?
