If you are familiar with Mike Yoder at all, then you know that he not only builds a mean LEGO spaceship, but he is also a gifted painter. Well Mike certainly has proven both of these points with his latest project…an acrylic on canvas painting of his Calamity Jane starship.
I don’t recall a spaceship ever looking so beautiful.

It’s crazy to see how creative members of the community are beyond the Lego medium. I love seeing people’s sketches evolve into builds. I wonder if he’ll build a model of this down the road.
Fred, you ought to click through some of the links in the article.
Fred, thank you by the way, but this started out as a LEGO ship. I built it in 2008, the same year it was first blogged by The Brothers Brick. I also built a Calamity Jane II, which has been featured here a number of times as well. I photoshopped the image into a space scene about a year ago, and then just painted it on canvas this week. Although it only took two days in execution, it has been in the planning stages for almost five years!
Cheers,
Yoder out.
Well I feel silly (Not an usual state for me!)
My painting talent ends at walls and trim
