LEGO Aircraft Carrier

[QuailPilot]

I think it has too many planes. Still preety cool. Me and my brothers make lego subs.

 

[Death]

I didn't count the planes, but it looks about right. The reason it may look like too many is that none of them are in the hangars belowdecks, which is a more common situation than everything on the flight deck, like so

lego space subs too?

 

[QuailPilot]

HAHAHAHA The closest thing I can think of to a space sub is the cloaking kilrathi ships.

That would be strakhas.

Or Shok'lars.

But in all seriousness, a submarine and a space ship have a lot more in common than do a space ship and a surface vessel... they both dedicate a lot of their form/function to creating an enclosed artificial environment protecting against an entirely hostile exterior.

True. Many spaceships sorta remind me of submarines. Look at the Sheffield destroyers.

The Tiger Claw on the WC Movie is very much like a submarine.

The Tiger Claw on the WC Movie is very much like a submarine.

I watched the WC movie with my inlaws a while back. Their only real comments about it were part way through:

This is kinda like those old submarine movies!

And a little later during the bombardment scene when the Tiger Claw is hiding near and astroid:

No, It's a lot like those old submarine movies! chuckle chuckle

In all I think they liked it. At the very least, they found it an entertaining diversion for an hour and fourty minutes.

Right down to its Commander

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Executive Officer -- Captain Sansky (David Suchet) was the Claw's commander.

 

[TopGun]

Yeah after years of hearing David Suchet with a Belgium accent, it was wierd to hear him with his native english accent

 

[Iceman16]

When the Tiger Claw was gettin ready to make the jump at Charydis and Captain Sansky went on the Intercom saying something like "All hands prepare for jump" he sounded sorta like the professer from Futurama (at least he did to me)

However Geralds presence (Jurgen Prochnow) could be taken as a sub movie reference

 

[Ridgerunner]

Remember what originally happened to Dr. Emmet Brown?

Yeah, but he was wearing a bullet proof vest.

Yes, Gerald is the Executive Officer LOAF was referring to.

The number "75" on the side of the LEGO aircraft carrier's island made me curious . . .

It turns out this model is of the CVN-75 Harry S. Truman Nimitz class aircraft carrier.

This photo shows the timetable of the construction of the modules.

 

[st3lt3k]

Although they might not be as impressive, you may like to take a look at the Lego space carriers I reported four years ago too. They vaguely ressemble the Tiger's Claw in shape, especially the first one.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of those.

 

[TopGun]

Yeah, but he was wearing a bullet proof vest.

Not originally

Some cool pics there st3lt3k

 

[Edfilho]

Ok, here's a plan.
Each one of the CIC's readers will mail me any 3 random gray lego pieces.
Yay!
