Lusankya's fate

This model is of the Battle of Borleias from the NJO book series (not a film, but still part of the saga). The battle ended when the SSD, Lusankya, rammed the Vong worldship.

The SSD is made mostly using layered plates. I tried to make it as accurate as I could at this scale, and feel that I succeeded except for the engines. There should be 13 but I could only fit 9. The red symbols on either side of the ship are stickers from 7668.

The worldship went through several designs to make a circle out of straight pieces. The final version uses SNOT and hinged plates to form an octagonal shape. (See last pic.)

I used a simple hinge piece to position the SSD and some clear bricks to support it.

The model is, overall, fairly simple in appearance but is surprisingly durable (fell off my desk and the only damage was that it broke into the two separate ships)

I am aware that many do not know about this battle, so for more info see here:
