EVE Online Ships - Merlin is a project on LEGO CUUSOO created by czar on May 16th, 2012. The project is based on the Merlin vehicle in the EVE Online MMO (Masive Multiplayer Online) game.

Project Content
This is a large model of a Caldari Frigate called the Merlin. One online wiki has this to say about this ship: "The Merlin is the most powerful all-out combat frigate of the Caldari. It is highly valued for its versatility in using both missiles and turrets, while its defenses are exceptionally strong for a Caldari vessel."
I would love to see an official model of at least 4 EVE Online ships at a size that could make them minifig size and hopefully cost under $100. Or even a larger UCS one-off build of an iconic ship such as the Merlin. An online poll on the EVE Online facebook page and website decided which 4 frigates would be built to complement the Rifter. The Merlin was the Caldari frigate favorite. So, at last here it is.
Here is a shot with the Merlin and Rifter together for the first time.
Because of the design of the Merlin, I had to build a stand for it which I wrapped so it didn't detract.
I spent more time building the Merlin than the Rifter because of the many hard angles. I also added more detail and even a cockpit to house a Caldari pilot. Still not enough room for a pod.
And finally, here is the Mechwarrior Atlas giving his new friend the Merlin a kind arm around.
