.Tromas has obviously been seduced by the Dark Side or something, because he seems to have developed an uncanny knack for cracking out Star Wars MOCs which spectacularly nail the Star Wars style in all sorts of exciting new forms. Exhibit Y: the Koensayr YT-T3 Invader. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tromas/27916647301/in/album-72157669405200560/ Basically it’s a supersized Y Wing with two pilots up […]
I don’t have any bulk liquids I need to haul through the icy vastness of space, but if I did this space tanker by Gamabomb would be ideal. I applaud the use of those big blue curve pieces and I love the contrast between the smooth surface of the tank and all the greebly bits around the edges. […]
It’s universally accepted that the millennium falcon is the coolest spaceship in the universe. Probably that makes this model of Dash Rendar’s Outrider by The Solitary Dark the second coolest spaceship in the universe. For those who don’t know, Dash Rendar was a character who appeared in the Star Wars Expanded Universe and was basically a […]
It was Brickworld last week, and US builders are beginning to post the creations they took to the show. Tim Schwalfenberg gives us not one but FOUR amazing Homeworld builds, including one SHIP. First up the Vagyr Corvette is a zippy little number that flies around shooting things. The Vaygr Missile Frigate lives up to its […]
A while back a colleague of mine suggested I could build a D’deridex Class Romulan Warbird from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I took a look at some photos, noticed the complex curves and hollow structure and lost interest. Fortunately however Jon Munz was undaunted: This is an incredible model, and Jon has really nailed the distinctive shape with […]
It’s shameless self promotion time again. Behold the Requin Alpha: Having built the Classic Space Carrier some months earlier, I set out to build a Blacktron themed microscale ship loosely based on 6894 Invader, and somehow wandered into making a pirate gunboat in dark bley and dark red! However I was really pleased with how it turned out: […]
I’m remiss in not sooner sharing this wonderful LEGO Ideas submission from billyburg. Why? CLASSIC SPACE. The Lunar Exploration Geological Outpost is a fantastic little playset featuring three main models: a 6 wheeled Lunar Utility Vehicle for driving about the lunar surface, a Lunar Surface Skimmer for zipping across and mapping the lunar surface and a larger Galaxy […]
This latest build by ska2d2 makes a bold design decision: it’s basically just a box with details. There’s literally almost no shape to it whatsoever apart from this big vertical box and the interest really lies in the detailing the builder has covered it in. I’ll be honest I’m a bit confused about the scale of the […]
This extraordinary space fighter by curtydc caught my eye and drew it immediately to the NPU at the end of each of its four radiating arms: that’s an upside down canoe element being used as a cool spacey fairing thingy. But when my roving was eye was done where it finally settled was on the black […]
It was only a few days ago we featured this teeny-weeny Viper from Battlestar Galactica; and now a whole squadron of cutie-pie craft have flown in from the world of Glen A. Larson courtesy of SPARKART!. Larson is of course the producer of the seminal TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Battlestar Galactica; from […]
Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
