I was always a Lego fan as a kid amassing (what seemed to me) a vast collection. Recently I've gotten back into them as an adult- was amazed to find all the new things such as Lego Digital Designer (a free design program by Lego where you virtually build on your computer) and the Lego Ideas website where you can submit designs for Lego to consider. A design needs an initial approval- but after than it needs 10,000 "supporters" (Likes basically) and then Lego will do an official review and possibly produce the set.
Anyway- I've also always been a big sci fi fan- especially space and Star Trek so the majority of my Legos as a kid were space sets... and still as an adult I find myself making planes and space ships. Unfortunately Lego does not have the license for Star Trek and even though a number of Star Trek based ships have hit the 10,000 supporter mark they unfortunately can't legally be made.
Nevertheless while I learn to use the Lego Digital Designer program I wanted to enter something onto their website so I figured a space ship would be the way to go. If anyone is interested in knowing more or supporting it the name is the Astro Shark and the link is: Astro Shark
I'd appreciate your support and/or comments.
This is obviously an easy build targeted more for children, the main goal was just to get used to the LDD software and the submission process. I plan on entering larger and more detailed ships in the future.
PS- the POV-Ray software used to create that lifelike render took over 12 hours to process on my Asus with 16 GB RAM and Core i7 at 2.4 GHz.
