In a Star Trek world of Enterprises and Klingon Birds of Prey, sometimes it’s the little ships that mean a lot. Take this LEGO Shuttlecraft built by Horace Worblehat for example. It’s expertly crafted and certainly takes me back to classic Star Trek episodes. This little craft has taken these two crewmembers to parts unknown. What will harangue them next? Will it be a ferocious Gorn or a hideous Salt Vampire? One thing for certain is one of these guys will escape by the skin of their teeth and the other will die a horrible yet amusing death. It’s the Redshirt, by the way. It’s always the Redshirt.
A very nice model. I wish Lego had the licence to make an official shuttlecraft, alien landscape and Enterprise bridge, transporter room, etc. Lego minifigures do have the perfect format for classic and Next Generation starfleet uniforms.
Very nice! I love seeing STAR TREK builds, and the fact that this appears to be “purist” LEGO is admirable. The shuttle itself seems modeled after a Type 6 shuttlecraft from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, but the stark contrasts and primary colors (and font/logo choice) give off a distinct THE ORIGINAL SERIES vibe.
