Starman

Continuing with the retro-future theme a little more (and the Bowie references) I present the Rocketship Paragon.

Space Oddity!

Continuing on the retro-future theme for a bit.
Soren has added to his aliens with a Martian spacesuit and the Secretary General of the UP

And, as well as giving my pseudoyak a skeleton I’ve also added a Uranian and her spacesuit.

Let’s see if we make more

Had enough Primal Screaming? Try Primal Bots!

Rong Yiren is working on a nifty series of nomadic, tribal bots. Never one to pass up on a good battle scene, I fell in love with these vicious little brutes.

Space Ninja battle continues

The fight between the white and black space ninja continues in Shannon Young’s third diorama of the battle (you can see the previous ones here). This time, it takes place in a factory powerplant with dangerous cliffs. This large diorama measures 109 studs wide by 36 deep and rises 60 studs high, that’s planty of […]

It’s just the freakiest show

Those of use with a love of pulp science fiction know exactly how the Solar System should have been. It should have been filled with strange aliens, unique animals, forests and rivers.
To remedy this Soren Roberts has ensured we can populate our LEGO universe with weird and wonderful intra-system aliens. My favourite is the Martian […]

I love swooshablility!

Nnenn has posted yet another awesome spacey-thang.
If I owned this, I would be running up and down the hallway with it, making swooshing noises…

Nnenn’s own description:
“This is the custom UGT with duo-core suspenders, extended foil, guide accelerators, and two reverse negagravs that Ioz Petrisusha entered into the Hadis Games under […]

Hits of the 80s

Here’s a couple for the oldies…
Hearkening back to the good ‘ol days of Classic Space, Pete Reid (legoloverman) presents LL-612, his excellent, modern take on a theme that many of us loved.

And heading forward a few years I give us a modernised take on the robots and buggies common to Futuron.

LV-16p by Tony Hafner

Oh yes, orange is beautiful. Tony Hafner’s LV-16p truck sports a high-contrast paint scheme and is equipped for prospecting:

Scharnvirk’s starfighter

Jarek (aka Jerac) deviates from his usual style of building spaceships to create this alien starfighter, claiming to have watched too much of my works. This ship reminds me of a flying face of death, and the colored reflections on the hull add a nice rust shade of texturing to the craft. I had originally […]

Retro-space transports

Kotaro “EARL-0″ Ono (of How Many Studs to LEGOLAND) has some nice retro-space creations in his gallery, check out these transport vehicles and especially the power generators. Way cool.

A great debut

David Paul presents us with his debut LEGO model, the Short Range Striker. His collection consists of “a Jedi Starfighter set… a Mindscapes R2D2, Mars Mission Recon Dropship, Y-Wing, and the Ferrari” yet he manages to put those limited parts to great use with this model. Truly an inspiration to anyone just starting out.

Parrotted design

A new dogfighter from me. I’ve heavily copied Adrian Florea’s style here in order to practise new techniques and shapes. The dark tan and orange combination was a lucky find.

In space, you can’t hear the multi-beams go “pew pew!”

Microscale master Tim “Spook” Zarki (Flickr) presents the Tsaitu Z37 Multi-Beam Frigate, armed with an Ion Capacitor Lance, C-PAC Beam, and multiple Point Defense Turrets:

See lots more on Next-Gen.

Gattaca III starfighter landing

Jon Newsome has been a MOCpages user for quite a while now, and his most recent creation showcases the most updated version of his Gattaca starfighter in addition to a base diorama. Check out some of the cool details like the landing pad pattern and the pilot ladder.

Gtahelpers Futuron Moonbase Module Zebra

Brickshelfer GTAhelper has put together a very nice architectural Futuron Moonbase Module:

I adore the bendy shapes of this - reminds me a bitĀ of the Turning Torso in my back yard. Check out the full gallery on the ’shelf.

Ride the Helix

Ed Diment presents the round, proud and crazy Helios. I’ll use Ed’s words here “The Helions use spacecraft that resemble the Sun (theyr’e not very original like that!). This the Helios class scouting vessel, the fact that one of these has been sighted over earth can only mean an invasion of other Helions. Beware! “. […]

“You forgot one very important thing, mate…I’m Captain Jack Sparrow.”

Well, you can’t forget that with this incredible bust by Craig Stevens

He’s done another captain too!

Basking in the autumnal glow of Zach Clapsadle’s Geminated Ruby

Zach Clapsadle combines dark red and “pearl gold” with his signature crazy level of detail and a pentagon technique by ixlramp to create a weirdly wonderful ship called Geminated Ruby:

Here’s the crew:

Love the combo of the braids and the Ten Numb head.
