While I realize it’s a little odd for a 33 year old to play with toys and that Star Trek is odd in any case, I have to say that I love them both. One of the things I like to do – especially after a semester of high intensity, intellectually challenging dialogue and investigation – is to break out my LEGOs and work on some space ships… just like i did when I was 9 or 10. It’s a recharge of sorts, and I prescribe creative play to all of my students. Anyway, I just made a new ship. I’ve christened it USS Abblasen after Gottfried Reiche’s famous fanfare. Here are a few shots of it…
You have no idea how… uh… odd the name sounds in this context, if you actually understand german. Somewhat dirty, really.
This is GREAT! Where did you get the curved pieces for the saucer section?
scott, i used the LEGO Star Wars Hyena Droid Bomber for many of the parts of this ship. You can find the product here: http://starwars.lego.com/en-us/Products/clonewars/8016.aspx
