The Manticore

Leave comment
Featured on The Brothers Brick!

The Manticore is my third SHIP (seriously huge investment in parts). At 180 studs, it is significantly larger than my first two SHIPs. I built the Manticore over an agonizingly long 10 1/2 months.

The Manticore is a battle ship built around a super weapon colloquially known as the Destructo Beam. The ship also carries two large laser turrets on the roof, a number of smaller turrets, and two fighters.

that is amazing, all of the ships. i have always dreamed of making a huge ship like that, or at least see one.

Sweet you should think about making it in the digital designer so if anyone was interested they could buy it.

Thank you all!

A bystander, I do not make instructions or LDD files for any of my my creations. It would take months of unpaid labor on my part.

Wow. Just came across these on a random image search, and thought it looked like an awesome ship. Then I realised it was lego and my mind was blown! Seriously great work!
