It's coming along well. I popped off the top tonight and added vertical support 'pylons' on the inside -- it's much more structurally sound now.
I created a folder on my Brickshelf account for this space pirate ship. Black and grey ["bley" actually, hehe] themed by default. Red as a tertiary color because it's in abundance.
The 5th picture shows the huge energy cannon (turret) I just made. And at the bottom you can see one of four identical quad-turrets for the sides of the ship.
The inside of the 'neck' now contains a reactor/generator/energy-conduit with a hinged top so it can be seen at BrickFair.
Still need to build the front (aka the 'head'), and the top of the back where the command center will be. Then supports to elevate it for display, and so I can add underside turrets and cargo bay opens that open downward (I guess).
Only 2 weeks till BrickFair '09!
[I was listening to "Turret Top Boogie", instrumental swing, by Blue Sky 5 as I wrote this.]
