This is the 932 Heavy Cruiser from the classic space fleet

About this creation

After browsing some other creations here I thought I'd see what sort of potential the 928 had for a double width cabin, i.e. sufficient to house two pilots side by side.

I started with the 928X and first isolated the cabin from the main hull, then separated them:

once that was done I cut one wall off the main cabin and put in an additional 4 studs width:

then it was a matter of filling in. LDD has almost no transparent flat pieces, so I improvised some side on windows for the greenhouse at the back of the ship and double up the screens at the front. Once the outline of the cabin was done I dragged the wing sections back, thus:

then filled in the gaps, giving me a huge open cargo space without spoiling the proportions of the ship

I was at somewhat of a loss with what to do with that space when I had a eureka moment - I removed the third crewman from the back (what was he doing there anyway?) and ended up with a clear 18x10 cargo space - I added some barriers to protect the pilots from sliding objects and cleaned up the nose a bit and now have a highly useful cargo ship.

Quoting Daz Hoo I agree with David and Parrington: this looks really nice, but I would much rather comment on the real thing!

The real thing is published as the 928C - http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/245038

Quoting David Calvet I usually don't comment on LDD creations but: 1) this is Classic Space, 2) this ship is awesome ! You should now buy some more bricks, if you need, and actually build it... I would really like to see real pictures of it.

I have actually started building it but the version that comes out will be somewhat different again as I have no wheels for the main engines but do have a much wider variety of classic space lego in the real world than is offered in LDD

I like it
