The link or the text in the same post needs to CLEARLY indicate where.

I've been working on a LEGO Classic Type-S Suleiman Scout for a few years

The ISS Andrew Boulton.

Borrowing heavily on the UCS LEGO Star Destroyer for design and many plate parts, the ship is a nice minifig scale version of the original.

The dimensions in Traders and Gunboats of the Scout/Courier (Type S) are 37.5 meters by 24 meters by 7.5 meters,

And the rough dimensions of the LEGO model are:
102-104 studs (between 32 - 34” (based on where you measure, engine detail is not inc)
x 69 studs (22”)
x 25 studs (8”)

It has a full interior and supports its own weight on three spring-loaded feet that fully retract. I particularly love the rear airlock door, a design I got from a MOC called the Manticore. Biggest difference from the deckplans is use of the center lower deck as a wheeled vehicle ramp rather than use of the starboard cargo bay (a willing concession which I found justified given the original location being ill-suited rough-and-tumble adventuring that contemplates scenarios such as getting a broken air-lift or major cargo inside the ship without anti-grav. A member here called Scarecrow posted a gorgeous picture of a Type-S so constructed, if I recall.

Also I love the use of the transparent windows over the staterooms, for exposing big chunks of the design without pulling back the top panels.

Here's a few recent snaps... I'm hoping to finish up all the detailing, post a more recent album, and maybe film a few short clips.

And here's an album of older, mostly-outdated stuff (but which shows a lot of early structure decisions): http://www.mickikaufman.com/suleiman

Building the ship has been a great side project for all this time - enjoy where your ship and crew take you!!!

Pretty extraordinary Mickazoid. Good work.

Wow, Mickazoid. That Lego Type S is fantastic!

I recently 3D printed the "non classic" Type S Scout design from T20 that I worked on with Bryan Gibson "back in the day". It's 1/350 scale, so about 3.75 inches long.

I have a couple of blog posts about it if anyone is interested:

Those look great, Ted.
