Building a Water Shipper Freighter: A lesson in frustration
Hey guys, it's me—the creator of Falconhold.
Ever since I noticed that the Water Shipper build set has what looks like landing legs, and many of the bits look like they are made for starships, I had the inkling to give the idea a go.
So a couple of days back, I took my buggy out, ground out over 10,000 granite, and started making it.
And it has been a lesson in abject frustration.
There are so many missing pieces: no solid corner blocks, no half-length ramps or stairs, no ladders, and no double-length doors.
NO ROUNDED PARTS WHATSOEVER.
Still, I had already done the mining, so I pushed on. I got a basic design done and filled up some of the rooms. But now, I'm out of motivation.
I'm not happy with the compromises I ended up with, and I really don't feel like finishing it.
So, here are some of the pretty pictures of the unfinished hulk.
