Description

"...After a long flight from their embattled homeworld, the Earth Expeditionary Force approaches its target. Mars had sent its cylinders and warmachines to Earth. Now Earth was sending its avengers...." ------=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=------ Well, this project took long enough! More fun with LeoCad---- 1268 virtual bricks, plates, and panels -- 1x1 = 52 1x2 = 114 1x2x2 = 34 1x6 = 8 1x8 = 52 2x3 = 34 2x4 = 34 2x8 = 16 4x10 bricks = 290 4x12 bricks = 76 8x16 = 16 4x4 Dish = 8 1x4x3 Panels = 114 Window (plane) = 112 and a bunch more.... 841 white, 258 red, 12 blue, 18 dark grey, 139 clear light blue..... Offhand, I think the thing would measure about 5' long if it were solid. I don't want to think what it would cost to make, given eBay prices.... Image inspired by Garrett Serviss' novel EDISON'S CONQUEST OF MARS. Ship design inspired by Frank R. Paul's 1920s spaceships from AMAZING STORIES covers.
