NCS Aries-K – SHIPtember – SHIP in a day

There’s been a lot of large spaceships or SHIPs (Seriously Huge Investment in Parts) building this month as part of SHIPtember – the build a 100 stud SHIP in a month contest. Some people feel that a month is slightly more time than necessary, and there have been several SHIP in a day builds over the years – with varying results.

So I wasn’t surprised to see someone attempt this again this year, but I was surprised to see FOUR master builders: Jason Allemann, Michael Gale, Kristal Dubois, Lucie Filteau join together in an amazing 24 hour build (or does this really make it a 96 hour man build?)

I don’t care, cause the end result makes my own personal month long SHIP build kind of small, and lacking in coolness…

NCS Aries-K (24 hour SHIP) Abstract Detail

Not only does this clock in at the bigger side of the SHIPs built this month, the multiple functions and delightful spinning mechanisms makes this stellar build, regardless of the time spent:

24 hour SHIP - hour 21 - rotating rings and ion impulse drive!

Oh, and yes, there’s a time lapse:

    What doesn’t show in the photos are the interiors: sleep quarters, lounge area, food preparation and dining area, medical bay, exercise room, hydroponic food growing area and research lab (+ bathrooms, of course). Stay tuned for photos on Flickr within the week! Sleepy bricks :-)
