The Minotaur is a heavily armed battle ship. It features two triple-barreled laser turrets, six ion cannons for orbital bombardment, seven fighter bays (3 on each side and one in front) for its fleet of drone fighters, and a variety of smaller arms.
The Minotaur is 146 studs long (almost four feet), weighs 28 lbs, and intricately detailed both inside and out.

A roof section removed to expose the interior of the airlock chamber. Those levers control the interior airlock doors. One interior door leads to the crew quarters, and the other leads to the unpressurized fighter bays:

For sure one of the best lego spaceships (with Dan Jassim's explorer ^^ ) I've seen until then, keep going that way ;)

Absolutely amazing, how do you purchase alle those bricks, i know you can collect sets, but you still have to win the lottery or so. Is it possible to by loose bricks on the intenet?

Thanks Soren! I purchased a lot of parts used on ebay. Bricklink is another great resource. You can get pretty much any part that has ever been made without buying an entire set.

Hi there and happy new year !
Congratulations for your magnificent creation ... lego is a disease and if you "catch" it ... no one can save u ;)
I am trying to build a ship of my own but i have problems on using the right bricks on the right plan i have on my mind. Is there any program i could use for designing lego models and then make a list of the bricks needed to complete my design?
Thanx a lot and again congrats ! ;)

Hey, I'm just getting into legos (at age 35!) and I'd like to build a "colonial 1" from battlestar galactica, and to scale with the mini figures. I'm wondering, how did you go about acquiring all the pieces that you need for your ships, such as the minataur? (which is awesome by the way)
thanks for any advice!
