How To Build SHIPS (Please Sticky)

[dilanski]

Every so often someone asks this question, and seeing as this forum has one of the largest concentration of military SHIPS on the i'NET, we should expect it.

This is a good guide on the basics of ship building

This gallery is two pages of gorgeous space MOCs, including several large ships and some in the style of Star Blazers

This is a source of schematics for Star Blazers, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek (And in my opinion 3402 pieces of Nerdgasm material)

A decent source, mainly using for size comparison, but has lots of different ships from many sources[/url]

natalya posted some tips on here at one point, but i'm much to lazy to find that.

i don't think i will ever build i space ship like that it just takes up too many peace and is difficult to use in a battle
i did build a huge 110cm ship a long time ago but it just becomes a pain to move but still these are some very good tips the first link is the best for any beginner thanks dilanski

I've seen it. But Natalya didn't really go into any detail.

While I had not intended to build a ship the size the first link discribes, it was very interesting to read the ideas and concerns being written about.

The one ship example he used is 12 feet in length. 12 feet.

It would not fit in most of the rooms in my house.

I found a lot of the advice useful though, everything he says can be applied to any ships.

Oh I agree. I think pointing out the "Box" issue and ideas how to avoid or disguise it for example was great. That is true even for smaller MOCs. Not just ships.

I suffered from that problem
