*Lego Pirate Spaceship Part III

So the ship is done. Check out all 12 photos in my relevant Brickshelf folder.
I even made 4 fighter-jet sized [at micro scale] space fighter ships to go along with it.

Pirate Spaceship -- a space freighter stolen by well-organized, affluent pirates. It was converted to be these pirates' flagship, serving as both a command center and a master loot holder.

Stats:
2' 6.5" long X 12" wide X 9" tall (including support stands)
10 hours to build (estimated)
Main plates and many detail pieces came from the Lego Eiffel Tower, set #10181.

Weaponry:
1 main energy cannon, on top, 180 degree lateral rotation with a little elevated aiming also.
2 capital ship-class energy blasters, on either side of the front.
4 quad-energy blaster turrets, 2 on each side, with 360x180 degree rotation.
2 tri-energy blaster turrets, underside, with 360x180 degree rotation.
1 dual-energy blaster turret, behind the control cockpit.

Large cargo bay which doubles as a hangar bay; safe entry from underside.
The front of the ship (the mostly red with black parts) houses a separate energy generator to power the front capital ship-class guns & main cannon on top. This section in an emergency can detach from the body of the ship, and has concealed thrusters to push it along. This feature is saved as a drastic measure of rocketing the entire front into an enemy capital ship after setting the energy generator to overload -- making it a giant bomb.
