I feel like Chris Roberts now
I will finish it, but what then I wonder?
How about a scaled down Farragut?
I’d need to demolish a wall If I try that.
Minifig scale would be the length of my house
Its not dead Been doing a lot of experimentation and also started on the outer hull:
I do swear the next Lego model I do is going to be a box full of boxes

Oh, you are doing a Type 7 afterwards ?I do swear the next Lego model I do is going to be a box full of boxes
I did think about a Type 7 before doing this Asp
I already did a type 7. It was pretty easy...I did think about a Type 7 before doing this Asp
That thing is nuts. How do you move a lego construction of that size? Can it be picked up safely?
Its very solid, it can be picked up quite easily. The problem is its too wide for doors and to go through you have to 'bank' the model (which, is scary).
The only difficult parts the the outer panels on the wings- to get those angles I have to use extensive joint systems which are not load bearing.
My son had Lego 10178 (motorised AT-AT walker) when he was younger, it has a rather neatly integrated carry handle built in. Have a look at book 2 of the instructions, page 54 onwards, you might be able to integrate something similar into the top spine?
Ok, now try building one to minifig scale...

Rubbernuke's house looks a lot different from the cyberpunk lo-tek rat's-nest I imagined it to be.
Cool!
I did think about carry handles, the problem is to make it strong enough I'd have to integrate them into the technic superstructure and have them all over- its so wide I don't think one in the middle would be enough to prevent problems on the outer edges. Saying that- I could have slots for carry straps (that go underneath) instead. That would even the load I think.
Flip the camera around and you'll certainly get a rats nest, according to my wife

Just say you'll finish it when people give you £1k.... Then say you're making it better and ask for £2k....etc.
Some updates on the front 'glacis' thing. Lots of greebles (to jazz it up) but also the tricky job of making the angled plate decoration neat....
If you are wondering I need to tighten up the sides, they have slipped a bit as I was pulling them about

What do you reckon your creation weighs?
I'm not entirely sure, certainly a couple of kilograms- as an estimate perhaps 2.5 kg.
Looks chonky. Really enjoyed reading about this.
