VO-Eighty reconnaissance fighter by Dasnewten

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.

Rob (Dasnewten) has built a gorgeous gunship inspired by ships in Homeworld: With brick-built numbers, tank treads on the cannon, and truly complex SNOT on the cockpit, Rob’s gunship is an amazing LEGO creation.
