Long story short, a couple of weeks ago I ended up finally getting Minecraft, thinking it’d be good for a day or so… Boy was I wrong, quickly discovering the addictive nature of the gameplay. Enticing you in in a similar way to Lego, the only difference being that once you’ve put hours of hard work into what your building you can’t pick it up and throw it at your brother if he annoys you, something I did once with my Lego Enterprise D… It didn’t survive the experience. This was also built on an online server hosted by my good friend Cam. Hopefully the server will never be shut down… D=

At this point, finishing it seemed like something that would never. Ever. Happen.

At this point, those new to the server thought I was building a Star Destroyer…

Sex?

I have two aft views… I thought I’d include them both.

After I had completed, for the most part the exterior (there were, and still are a number of errors in the symmetry, most noticeable in the high-fore shot. I began to get a bit bored for a while, wondering around not doing much and looking at what others were building, before it occurred to me that I could try and build an interior for the ship. My first thoughts were to make it super duper accurate, but with the exterior where the bridge is meant to be only being about 4 blocks, this line of thought was quickly dismissed. So instead I just decided to build as many of the main sections of the show as I could, as close to ‘canon’ as I could (not very).

Possibly the least accurate interior part. The Shuttlebay. It’s not even really a Shuttlebay. It’s mostly the door mechanism so I can have iron shuttlebay doors. I ended up just building a really bad shuttle in there so I could call it the Shuttlebay.

This is the next area once you get past the Shuttlebay. It’s where I store all of my materials.

The next area you come across. The weapons locker houses… Well. Weapons and tools.

Something I tried to do throughout the construction process, but ended up giving up on near the end due to lack of resources was place torches where lighting/consoles were on the show.

I feel that it’s worth mentioning after this pictorial, that the entire ship, aside from the cake in the Mess Hall, the glowstone used to light the nacelles, warp core and deflector and the elements used in the nacelles was made entirely legitimately, including the tools used. It must be said though that a lot of people assisted in the construction by gathering resources while I built the ship. Special mentions to Cam Holmes, Michael Kitchen, Jamie Thompson (also for the Shuttlebay doors), Harry Jeffrey and Luke Bateman.
