Anyone who has played StarCraft 2 will instantly recognize Sven Junga‘s model of the Hyperion. Even those who are unfamiliar with the game may recognize the hammerhead shape of the battlecruiser design, which has been done several times in Lego. Check out Sven’s growing Terran army in this photo on Flickr.
I don’t have much to say about this new creation by Peter Reid (legoloverman) except that it’s just great. The use of minifig sextants to build a cube is brilliant, and makes a perfect micro scale Borg cube. It’s hard to think of a more ridiculously single purpose-part, and yet it works quite well to Continue reading →
Jared (Freedom01) has chosen not to grant this space ship a name, but he’s given it lots else. The spindly neck joining rear engines to a forward control area is reminiscent of larger ship designs, and it’s refreshing to see it used on a fighter. The fins at the rear help spice things up, while Continue reading →
I was unable to track down the name of Stefan1987 so if anyone can help me there I’d be grateful. Stefan Schindler (brainbikerider) presents the SF-30 Sparrowhawk, an unusual, elegant and beautiful bird. PS. And no thanks to flickr for dumping him as a contact of mine… I’m so sick of that happening.
Legodrome‘s 190-stud long Bistouri spaceship comes from the Metabaron comics. Did I mention that it’s 5 feet long? The size of the ship is deceptive due to the large triangular fins that could be easily replicated on a smaller scale. The brick-built skull design from a close-up view should convince you of the true size Continue reading →
Novvember is the month of the Vic Viper, and the tradition lives even stronger than the previous year. Here is the fighter map by Pascal of the 255 Vic Vipers by 135 builders.
Nick Trotta’s (aka Tardisblue) newest ship combines a superb color-scheme with incredible angles and a Vic Viper flourish to help finish out Novvember. The integration of the stripes into the wings and tail is wonderfully done, and the sawtooth edges on the forward struts give this ship a particularly aggressive look. Be sure to check Continue reading →
I’m glad that Mike Yoder (builder42) covered and added to maxvf1‘s amazing Valkyrie/Veritech fighter as it gives me an excuse to blog both. maxvf1′s is available on LEGO Cuusoo and was mentioned by Nannan a while back. Unfortunately maxvf1 has restricted use of his pics so we’ll have to provide a link to the Gerwalk Continue reading →
Théo’s (aka Titolian) newest fighter is encased entirely in transparent pieces, and the effect is stunning. In rebellion to conventional Lego Spacer protocol, Théo has thrown all the greeblies in the interior of his spaceship, but only because he’s found an immensely clever way of still showing them off.
They say you’re not a real LEGO Space builder until you’ve built a SHIP — a “Significantly Huge Investment in Parts” — that’s at least 100 studs long. As tempting as it was to take on that challenge, I was having so much fun with my little microscale fleet that I decided I wanted to Continue reading →
You know, there are some places where it’s just worth it to plan an intergalactic road-trip because the food is just so amazing, that even a trip to a restaurant at the end of the universe is no big deal. I’m pretty sure that’s the case for Rod Gillies‘ fabulous micro-diorama. There’s just something in Continue reading →
It’s NoVVember again. This one is from its host Peter Morris and Rich M (Zaximillian). I’m not sure if it’s the lines, the colours or a combination of the two but it’s got such an aggressive macho look. EDIT: Added Rich M’s name. Missed that it was a collaboration.
With each new creation by Tyler (Legohaulic), I’m more convinced he’s the best builder I know (and I’m aware this is not a light statement). The Avid Steele bounty hunter ship uses lines and grooves to create an elegant yet complex look. Since this texture is rarely achieved with the brick on spaceships, one can Continue reading →
Jack McKeen (madLEGOman) enters the FBTB MOC Madness contest with this unique vessel dubbed the Hand of Fate. While the detailing on the hull is certainly cool, what sets this apart for me is the odd configuration of the engines, complete with sails. The interior is excellent as well, with a nice battlesuit parked in Continue reading →
Shannon Sproule (Shannon Ocean) continues work on his Battle for the Moon retro cold war world series. Shannon says With more parts and experience I’m in a better position now to flesh out the BFTM world than before Well I for one loved it before. I think I love it even more now.
