The Logos;
the epitome of awesomeness. Really though, this is one of a fleet
of hoverships used to jack crewmembers into the Matrix for special
assignments, protect Zion when ultimately needed, but mostly just
for dodging squiddies. This is the smallest and fastest ship of
the fleet; it's about half the size of the Nebuchadnezzar, and has
twenty-six (from what I counted) repulsor pads while the Neb only
has twenty. The scale is a little larger than I thought since the
pads on this are a lot smaller than on the larger hoverships, so
this is actually pretty close to mini-fig scale when I originally
intended it to be about half of that. Since I built this the DVD
of The Matrix: Revolutions came out and I saw just how
very wrong I got this; when I built it I only really had two pictures
to work from. By no means do I mean to drastically change it though,
I'm very happy with the organic look of the ship, and with the pads
on it, it looks exponentially cooler, in my opinion.
Special
thanks: I'd really like to thank Reed Anderson for
the initial idea of surrounding a wheel with visors (as can be seen
in his Brickshelf
Gallery) and Ryan Wood and his use of Reed's idea in what eventually
became his Nacon
Hovership, which made me start and finish the Logos
in a weekend.
