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.
Sometimes, all it takes for a great creation is to make creative use of an unusual part. Take these space ships built by Haypro. Shamefully, it’s taken me almost two months to post this photo, which I loved as soon as I saw it. First, I was struck by the creative use of the Hero Continue reading →
After I posted my little fleet of microscale spaceships in September, I kept tinkering with the design of the ships, and when I got bored, built new ones. By BrickCon, I had added a new cruiser and hospital ship. The cruiser is based on the same keel as the carrier, but the most notable improvements Continue reading →
Is it possible to be late posting something that’s Futuron? Of course not; so take a look at this spectacular collaborative diorama built for The Great Western Lego Show a few weeks ago. Constructed by five members of the Brickish LUG, it features everything a burgeoning space colony could want; from communications arrays and defense Continue reading →
The Ma.K starfighter contest may be over, but there still some fantastic builds to be found in the LEGO Starfighters group on Flickr. This shapely fighter by ROOK is an entry for the FBTB MOC Madness 2011 tournament, and features some excellent weathered stripes and interesting textures on the wings.
Zane Houston designed a spy ship and outfitted it with guns to suit a bounty hunter. Not a bad combination of stealth and firepower.
There’s been a spate of really great Neo-Classic Space models over this last week or so, and I hadn’t realized I missed it quite as much as I apparently do. The latest update to a classic set is Chris Edwards‘s update to 6928 Uranium Search Vehicle. As much as I love the vehicle — from Continue reading →
And for Jon Walker (Jon1138), those three prongs are excellence, imagination, and the capacity to carry out his plans. It seems that every year, large spaceship designs get more innovative and more unorthodox in their shapes, and the Dalu planetary defense craft is certainly at the forefront of these original designs. According to Jon, it Continue reading →
This latest spaceship by T.Oechsner, a veteran of Classic-Space themed models, is certainly a beauty. All the antennas and other technical accoutrements are perfectly placed to give this spaceship a menacing, sturdy feel.
The winners of the Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K.) Starfighter contest have just been announced. In the words of its creator TR Brownbridge (.Tromas), One last thing…I think I can speak for Tim & Peter when I say this…this was without a doubt the best line up of contest entries that we have ever seen. You have Continue reading →
886 Space Buggy holds a special place in my heart, so I always appreciate seeing reinterpretations of this tiny, classic set. I recognized the inspiration behind this version by _zenn immediately.
Garry King likes building ships from the Battlestar Galactica universe, and he likes them big. His newest Battlestar Berzerk is so large that it requires internal supports for this 54-pound behemoth. More pictures and detailed descriptions are on MOCpages.
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to the Numereji 2421 display at BrickCon in Seattle last weekend! Because of your skill and creativity people got a much clearer idea of our vision. We plan on a Numereji 2422 collaborative display at BrickCon 2012 and look forward to the return of great Continue reading →
Bart De Dobbelaer amazes me with the intricacies of his scenes and the action that he packs into them. The scary aliens/bugs in this scene are pretty wild and the backdrop highlights the action perfectly.
I’m so used to seeing excellent teensy spaceships from Rodney Bistline (Buster) that I had to check twice that I had the name right. I did. This delightful helicopter combines Rodney’s gorgeous use of shape and colour with a more contemporary design. I want to see more near-future stuff from you, Rodney. Got that!
