The Galaxy Explorer (and the original space theme for that matter) is a classic. The only evidence you need to see the absolute affection the community has for this craft is the continual homages paid to it. I myself have created one, and I was given one as a gift. And builder ZCerberus has crafted this gorgeous tribute to the venerable ship, carrying on the tradition.
Here at brickNerd we don't just blog the latest creations, we also celebrate influential MOCs from days gone by. Like this awesome reinterpretation of the classic Galaxy Explorer by Pete Reid. The dimensions of the distance to which my mind was blown when I first laid eyes on this had to be measured by satellite.
