110: Lightspeed Transport

This ship is for when you need to go just a little faster than you normally do. It comes equipped with a powerful lightspeed thruster as well as a top of the line cooling system to keep it from overheating and if that fails, well, it has a fire extinguisher too.

9.7" x 9.4" x 3.4"

962 bricks

24 hinge plates (a new personal record)

This model was definitely a challenge for me as the angled plate's angles don't add up to a full 360 degrees so I had to get a little creative with the connections at the rear of the ship to make sure that this could be assembled in real life (with different colours probably). I also had to experiment a lot with how the cockpit was attached to the rest of the ship because almost half of this build is using upside down bricks and that made connections a lot harder for me but I managed to eventually find a solution with some clip pieces. Thank you Lego Ideas for running these contests so it gives me an excuse to build fun stuff :)
