Escape pods and Androids.
About this creation
Well, last weekend I got alot done on the main hull. Not many details, don't like the roof, but the form is essentially there. and then...
Brain fart, mind shortage. Or you could call it Builder's Block. While I had building time during the week, I got nothing done. Why? Well, the big reason is that I had no idea what to do with the engines. My original drawings featured some pretty sharp lines, and while they look good, how can I use them to make something out of LEGO? Clearly I had to redesign.. but how?
Well, to get me building again, I focused on some details. This is the escape pods and an Android, the IGOR (Inferential General Operations Robot), which will aid the crew when the beast is finished.
