Ridgeback Racer by David Roberts Via Flickr: The Ridgeback was an early pinnace class racing spacecraft. The ship was fast and highly manoeuvrable. A focus on performance and weight saving meant that there were almost no concessions to crew comfort. The cockpit was crammed in between the massive main engine and fuel tanks. Later pinnace racers would have more emphasis on crew ergonomics but when it came to the Ridgeback, its pilots would all say, "You CAN take the Ridgeback! Oh, my back!". There's a "swooshing" video of this spaceship on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidrobertslego/p/DKSIxtNiBih/?img_ind... Thank you to @glatmocs and @intvlan1shut for putting me onto this idea. I've never seen The Expanse TV series or read the books. This was an adventure in Lego geometry and I would have like the front to be an unequal hexagon, like the Razorback but that didn't happen. My next post should be a disassembly video to show people how I built my Ridgeback.
