I'm an old fan of the game Elite. I thought it would be good to build the classic versions of the ships. In particular, the flag ship Cobra Mk III.
So, here it is. I built it in the guise of the original classic version as you would have seen on the British computer the BBC. Elite is one of the original procedural games.
Oh yeah, when close to finishing this ship I thought, "Oops, I should have looked up the dimensions". So I checked them out and as it turns out I fluked the dimensions. It's almost exactly the ones mentioned on this Wiki 65x30x130. My build is 63x22x121, so it's close.

My main reference for building this ship was the following pics.

Which is why the core is where it is.
I also posted this to the General Discussion area.

My Elite Cobra Mk III Classic
Yeah, I understand turning off the lights. I like Frontier. It had the planet side and the 3 stations orbiting Earth use to crack me up. The US station being the smallest and the Japanese being the largest.
