TRIMAXION DRONE SHIP
From the 1986 Walt Disney Productions film FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR directed by RANDAL KLEISER
The alien spaceship featured in the film is a sentient craft, capable of defying gravity and reaching incredible speeds. The shiny hull has the capability to alter its shape. Entry to the ship is via manipulation of the ‘metallic’ hull, allowing an opening to appear and the creation of steps to allow the pilot to board.
A kit of this incredible ship would be very simple - the shape altering capability would not be possible (this was accomplished in the film by cutting edge Computer Graphics and skillful traditional animation). Separate pieces for the staircase and ‘hatch’ would be an option - possibly using some clever clear pieces to connect and support the steps and even support the ship itself. .
Designed by WILLIAM CREBER (I believe, please let me know if this is not correct).
