The Final Thor's Day Hero: James Tiberius Kirk


Who else could cap off the great run we've had here at the Thor's Day Day Heroes other than Captain Kirk himself? This is the character I'd want at the helm of this whole enchilada, and when those snap decisions need to be made under the most stressful of situations, this is the guy I want in the captain's chair.

Sixty seven weeks of heroes later (over a year!) and I've gotta say I hope y'all have enjoyed reading these as much as I have had writing them.

LEGO Thursday: Micro Reliant


Ha, there was one more undocumented build lurking in the archives; a micro-scale Miranda class ship from the Star Trek franchise, the USS Reliant. I picked this ship because it was hijacked by Khan in the best sci-fi remake of Moby Dick ever.



I did break a major Lego "purist" rule in this build in that I painted the radar dish. I don't know if they make an all-white dish, but I didn't have one so necessity dictated it. I'm not too concerned with 'purism' when it comes to playing with toys though.


Looking at this comparison shot I'm sure I could've done the nacelles differently. I think a duo of parallel, flat, and smooth 1x3's trailing behind the ship would've made this a tad better. As it stands, it still gets the point across. Enjoy!
