sweet!!!! 32 troops, 36 total crew-nice. were did you get the minifigures? 5/5

Very cool! one of your best mocs in my opinion. :D

extremely awesome

I love this level of details! magnificent!

I love this level of details! magnificent!

How do you come up with a design of that detail, magnitude and complexity, any time I attempt a model of moderate size and complexity it never works?

Oh my * God! *****!!!! It's just awesome!

I totally dig on big ships and love the fact you've done it in minifig scale.. All the Kudo's around my man are yours. Let's see if someone can top this monster.

How much does it weigh? 50 lbs? I have a little somthing for you. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/183567 I want you to remake this piece. Then add a front, two sides, and then a back, all in 16x16. (For the sections) Then, curve it to try to make it round. Leave the back square. The whole thing would be 48x48, with the front curved. Can you do it?

All your creations are so awesome. You've been one of my favorite builders even before I got an account. Thanks for all the inspiration you gave me all those years.

Hi Soren, Thank you for your praise! I have been collecting and building for about 19 years now. I started back when I was in college and the hobby has grown. Now my two sons are into it as well. It's a lot of fun. As far as instructions, the only models that I made instructions for are my Lego Spiffcraft and Desk Model Fighter. Everything else is rather complicated and would consume way to much of my time to try to recreate directions. None of my creations are glued together, just regular bricks and sturdy building and connections. --Dan

Hey agian Dan. I noticed that your models have a lot of difficult angels and structures to build in the old fashioned way, so it's not to be unpolite but did you use glue to hold those angels or just a lot of brackets and hinges, to keep it studless? Still my favourite lego designer, I just started bying bricks from brickshelf to create my own ultimate construction, it's gonna be a prison carrier:-)

dear dan. i am absolutely your biggest fan, i like your sci-fi universe and your creativity is unbeliveble. you should be a designer for lego right away. did you make instructions to your creations, if so i would like a copy, by the way, how do you collect all those bricks it can't be from just buying sets, did you buy parts from bricklink, you must have tons of lego worth 1 million dollars:-)

Ok...When the Med Techs slapped me awake after seeing this I just HAD to comment, something I very rarely every do. The design is absolutely gorgeous and it just feels like it has more than a home. I'm part of a gaming community and I would Love to talk to the building about having that ship done in a Computer Rendition for a possible addition to a Online Game. Either way, keep up the excellent work!

Wow!!!! Excuse me but I've got to find my jaws ...they dropped somewhere on the floor when this opened in front of my eyes.

Amazing! Could you judge a moc of between me and Awesome-o-saurus the not so great. I think you would be the best for judging, because the building theme is ships and you have the best ships in Lego on the internet. I have sent you an invite if you would like to judge.

Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent Excelent

Excellent job. I really like the blue highlights and the extending ramp. Great work overall. -Dylan

U rule

incredible dude, simply incredible! ur a GREAT spacecraft builder!

This is one of your best ships.(even your're worst ship is awesome)I am a huge fan of you're ships. You should make some sort of capital ship that's like 15, 20 feet long.

All of your creations are awesome. Its just so huge.

hey man how did you make it so awesome you should try making a space marine battlebarge if you don't know what one looks like heres one http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Battle_Barge

I'm sorry, I can't hear myself think over the sound of how awesome you are.

You´re a God at this! Wow!

totaly amaing! how big is is?

Where did you photograph it, on a golf green? Awesome build!

HUGE! It would be great if you posted it to my group, 'Only BID spaceships!

Simply brilliant. Just totally amazing. This is my all time favorite classic space MOC. It almost looks like it belongs in a Firefly episode. Fabulous work!

thats amazing totally speechless

This is amazing!!!!! I love how you create the detail on the outside and inside of your ships. You are truly a lego god!

That must have taken forever! Nice work!

this is so cool! it must have taken ages to build, and it is all colour coordinated!

Wow... (speechless from sheeer awesomeness.)

Make some instructions and give that thing to me!Pleassssse!

Hey Daniel:), great work on this giant! I´m usually not into Space and all that, but this one is just so brilliant and left me speechless... The cockpit is awesome, and the unity in the troops' cabin looks stunning, too. Love the freaking huge engines, and the troop ramp and "gangway". Is that gangway really foldable? Best regards, Steffen

That is awesome!!!!

Amazing detail how did you come up with the layout of the ship

You cheater! Stop rubbing your awesomeness in our faces!

holy cow this is insanely good!!! can you please give me a few tips for building on my page?

Nice reminds me the dedalus on stargate

Bwah,breh,brow,bar,*faints from the sheer freaking awesomeness of this moc,i love it,also, ate some bad fish for lunch,JKJK*

i like how simple but assome it is.

bravo! the frontal ramp simply got me. and all the model is so well designed and smooth, that it looks it would work in reallity. well done!

Simply remarkable. A fine piece of LEGO craftsmenship. Bravo I say, Bravo!

I honestly don't know what to say. There's so much to say it won;t all fit in this box. Excellent and original design, amazing detail inside, and the simple scale of the ship is awesome.

WOW, I would never have the patience to build something that big. And one more thing, I think it needs to hold more minifings. -Just messing with ya!

It's huge !

Hey, I really liked seeing this, it has tons of cool things to look at! Sweet graphic for one, and I like that detail (wheel hub) by the foward ramp too. Good use of slopes and corner slopes all around. Like by the front edges of the wings. I have to say, neat idea building around those biggie radar dishes on the out sides of the engines! I like that 2x2 printed tile in the pilot's display. (had to say it) That's a lot of troops.

Love the traditional studs-up apraoch, it adds to the old-skool aesthetic.

THIS IS TOTALLY COOL!!!! DID U LIKE, BUY IT OFF LEGO CREATOR OR SOMETHING!! ITS SO COOL! BY THE WAY-HOW DO YOU BUY MINIFIGS?!

Pure awesome. Also, did you take these pictures on a golf course or something, cause it looks like you did. How many troops can fit in there? 5/5.

AWESOME! full of details! And is huge!

WOW...

That's awesome. It should totally be on the front page

Simply AWESOME !

Big!

Yeah, that cockpit is great. The rest of it is AWESOME. =)

Amazing! The controls are awesome, the size, dumbfounding. Keep up the great work!

Amazing! The controls are awesome, the size, dumbfounding. Keep up the great work!

Band Camp??? Anyway, this is absolutely stunning. When I saw the thum for it I knew it was big but I didn't think it would be HUGE! I'm really at a loss for words to complement the greebling and detail... Superb work! Peace - Patrick

Really nice, Dan! It's always great to see the big stuff you create. Cool playability, along with beautiful color and texture work, both inside and out. Oh yeah, I almost forgot - So one day, at band camp...

awesome, a really great work, feels like a real dropship. nice work on the weapons too.

Nice work. I like the cockpit.

I'd give it 100 stars if possible, I just love this ship - especially its guns... you'd need a couple of tons of plutonium to power them, great weapons system never the less: One day i aspire to build a ship like this: Once i have enough pieces- Great work!

Great work.

Great ship! I would hate to be a soldier though. It would be kind of boring.

cool!!!!!

Epic!

BEST spaceship builder ever!!! A true artist. Your defintely added to my favorite builders list.

this is a very cool ship i didn't expect it to have troops inside, but...wow

Pelican be darned, this is the way to insert troops!!! The Dragonstar is still the greatest though. :) A+++

OMG DUDE, thatis soooo asome, incredible

Oh my God! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! That is better than some of my creations! Dude, you gotta make a copy and send it to me, I'll pay you! (Not really, but this is still awesome!) When are you gonna post instructions? I can affirmatively say that the unanimous thoughts of all of us here are "Instructions would be freaking great!"

Very Cool, Love the details on this, my boys are amazed at this !

OMFG!!!!!

EXTREME WOW!!!!!

Dan. I officially am going to create a religion known as Danism. unbelieveable.

Your still on MOCpages YES!!! Good now about The MOC as with all your creations its big and big is good. Please check out My second WIP its inspired by you o and please vote on name for the ship.

awsome!! i couldn't find any word to discrive this creation!!

this is cool please join my group the lego people

That ship is so cool, ju must be a LEGO god or some thing!

I saw this a long time ago, but never commented!? This is amazing! I can't write all the things I love about it, so I'll just say it's amazing.

Excellent, as always!

It's not often that I'm left speechless. No really, ask anyone. It's a curse really. I usually just come in and start rambling on and on and just don't know when to quit. I mean one time, at band camp... oh wait, that was Kelso's story... never mind. Welcome back to mocpages! ~ Chris

holy crap! that is so cool!!!! I love it!

your ship is AWESOME!!!!! if i could, i'd build a soldier transport like your ship. but it probably won't come close to what you got. great design. i love it! just one little, teeny-tiny hint. you should add some escape pods for the pilots, soldiers, etc, so if the ship get's hit and is about to blow, the soldiers can make it. love your ship! keep building!!

Yay! You're still active! Anyways, the Hurricane is simply awesome. Your creations have inspired me to try my hand at Classic Space. My first attempts failed, but they're getting better! The ramps on here were the best thing, the way the fold into the ship is brilliant - Callum

Holy Kelso! that is amazing! my new favourit, after your Explorer of course...how could anybody ever get tired of that one...

HOOOLLY SHEEAAAps! That baby's awesome man! Keep it up! You have a morbid amount of Spacemen, I have none, weep, sob. Check out my creations! Pce Out!

Stunning! Huge! Detailed. Fantastic man, Great MOC!

Yep, this is one of my favorite things ever.

Incredible Moc! I love everything about this! The design, the engines, the guns, landinggear, interior... It's fantastic!!

dude, this thing is perfect! i love everything about it except the fact that i do not own it... *faints*

Mother of God that's nice! Hadn't seen this one of yours before. Great design. And I imagine there'd be plenty of opportunity for some "Chinese whispers" conversations between all those Futuron dudes!

What an awesome ship! The interior ad control cabin is great! I love the comman bridges windshield! Great job!

Definitely a formidable ship in terms of armament and troop capacity. I like the overall shape the most, and how it makes such a large ship look small and useful rather than bulky and cumbersome.

Wow! This thing is great! This is the kind assault craft we should all aim to build!

Great ship man, I love it!

Another awesome minifig-scale ship, Daniel. Looks like a cross between Star Trek ships and Republic transports. My personal favorite is the A-Wing Carrier, though :)

... NICE !

Pretty cool design work. Didn't think astroturf would be a good background, but it is!

I have been looking over your Flickr photostream, and found this quite appealing. Looks even better now. Love the troop bay. ~Martin

You pack so much detail into every aspect of your models. This is massive, carries more troops than I will ever have, has detailed cockpits, and awsome ramps. This is just amazing.

Once again you have blown my mind! The curvature on the front of the control cabin is very creative. Echoing other comments below, the basic shape is simple, but the details in the execution are out of this world!

This is absolutely amazing... it's so detailed, and even minifig-scale! I like how you've made a simple-looking, yet hard to build creation! The only suggestion could be, as said below, to enlarge the troop section, but it's only a minor correction... this is one of your best MOCs.

Very cool. The overall shape is a simple yet aesthetically pleasing design and yet on closer examination there is still lots of little details. It reminds me a lot of a B 52. In fact, with that much weaponry I'm sure it could be converted into an effective bomber. As just a little practical consideration, though, the troop section looks so narrow that it would take an inordinate amount of time for them all to disembark. It kinda reminds me of an airliner. Still very cool though
