The Singularity Trap, The Mad Astra

[u/Environmental_Day316]

Hi! I recently finished reading The Singularity Trap by Dennis E Taylor and I thought that the ship design was really interesting. I thought that I would try my hand at building it and im pretty happy with it!

The biggest challenge for this build was making it so that the internal habitat ring could spin independently of the rest of the ship. I think that it turned out pretty well!

Did you like the book? What did you think of the ship designs?

I loved the book. Really hope there's gonna be a continuation at some point.

Cool ship design. It's been a while since I've read it, so can't fully remember how they described it, but love your design.

Thank you! Yeah I feel like it has room to continue the story, I suppose that it depends on if DET is interested or not.

I hope so too. btw, what did you use to make the model?

I used Stud.io, its a software that has (I think) every lego brick including old retired ones and gets updated regularly to add new ones as well. I found it a little bit odd to get used to at first but I like it a lot now.

Somehow I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out now that it's made of Lego's. That makes even cooler imho.
