The original design by Daniel Simon is an amazing and elegant example of bio-mimetic design that I've tried to pay homage to. I've tried to keep the scale small so a few details got over-simplified (one seat rather than two, etc). I still need to tweak a few things here and there. Will be posting on Lego Ideas. I've seen plastic models kits of the Bubbleship go for hundreds of dollars; I hope to make a more affordable alternative!
