I’ve seen a bunch of space pirate spaceships, but never one that looks like an old-schooled pirate ship as made by Wes Pitter. The sails on this vessel are quite a novelty. You may be wondering, how does one walk the plank on a ship in space? According to the builder, “all the captain had [...]
Cole Blaq is becoming a regular on our blog, and so is our usage of his name in puns. His latest two space creations defy the ordinary. These examples from the prolific builder show how multiple techniques of creative parts usage, color coordination, and making those “right” shapes altogether make us say “wow.” Sometimes builders [...]
A different Stefan (2×4) than the guy who built the Sunblade below has built the great maker. He’s captured the feel of the sandworms from the old Dune movie perfectly. The three-way split mouth filled with teeth is absolutely perfect. Also note the micro shuttle (there are no wings, so it can’t [...]
Stefan (brainbike.rider) recently posted this excellent little starfighter. It has some nice little angles, and I love seeing a bright color scheme on a space craft from time to time. While the blade in front isn’t my favorite detail, it certainly works as an homage to Homeworld style ships.
This month, several Neo Classic Space fans got together at Peter Reid’s house in the UK and called it The Meeting. They individually and collectively produced some great stuff, my personal favorite is the LL0505 Comet, a collaborative effort by Thomas Oechsner, Peter Reid and Stuart Crawshaw.
Worth checking out the other photos of The [...]
The latest odd and awesome spaceship from Rob (dasnewten) is this unconventional “light fighter/reconnaissance type” vehicle.
As different and equally cool as they both are, this could almost be from the same space force as Joel Larsson’s Sleipnir.
Joel Larsson (ProfessorLarson) recently posted a new space ship. He calls it the Sleipnir. I don’t know what the name means, but I love the build.
He’s achieved some fantastic angles on this thing. I also absolutely love the use of crates for the guns. The sticker use is quite reserved, and [...]
A big creation deserves a big name – that’s how 3LUG rolls. Of course, when I say 3LUG, I mean Nick Kappatos and myself. Nick and I started discussing a joint display at the end of BrickFair 2008. We spent most of the last year nailing down our layout and avoiding each other, [...]
Brickshelf user Scouzy has some great science fiction creations online. They’re worth checking out. I think this motorcycle is the most recent, but my favorite is this mecha.
Thanks to Bill (Kidthor) for the tip.
Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) has put his new microfigures to work in his adorable Neon Classic Space project (geddit!). I just wish I could purchase these sets so I could have a play myself.
Dali Zheng has been hosting a Speeder Bike Contest with some really excellent entries so far. If you’d like to enter yourself, you have until the end of August.
Thomas Oechsner contributes a Neo-Classic Space speeder bike with appropriate greeblage.
What LEGO contest would be complete without a nostalgic Octan entry? This one’s by Mristoph Chonnaie.
Karf would [...]
I really do love the new Space Police III theme, from the wonderful alien minifigs to the subtle in-jokes that the designers incorporated throughout their sets.
Nevertheless, a running joke among LEGO fans is that the line is xenophobic and defames sentient non-human life forms.
Seeing District 9 last night (based on Alive in Joberg [...]
Mark Anderson has a unique project going on, namely a series of Alphabet Spacecraft. Honestly, I never heard of anything like this. I’ve seen series of vignettes made in alphabetical order, but actually building the shape of the letter as a ship? That’s a new one to me and pretty dang awesome, [...]
Adrian Drake has done an incredible job here. This ship is gorgeous. It’s over a 100 studs in length and almost entirely studless. I’m very impressed. Beautiful!
The massively, over-sized engines on this beauty are what caught my attention. But they aren’t the only noteworthy item. It’s sleek, the engines have just the right amount of detail, this thing is gorgeous. It’s by Blake Foster and it’s called “XS-SP33D Fireball”.
Though we’ve featured creations inspired by Crimso Giger before, we shockingly haven’t actually featured any of his creations. He recently started uploading new pictures and the improved photo quality is just making the colorful creativity pop. Below is the BLX-570, which he built almost 2 years ago.
I’ve seen a lot of great space stuff, [...]
As well as all the other parts of Voltron. I always loved Voltron when I was a kid, and Mark Sandlin’s rendition using a TeknoMeka frame is a fantastic representation. This model looks great, even if the show hasn’t stood up to the test of time.
And yes, this Voltron does divide up into [...]
This is something you probably don’t see on LEGO spaceships: vines. Check out the Shooting Star by Space2310.
