UCS scale ARC-170 starfighter
Martin Latta’s (thire5) UCS scale ARC-170 starfighter is very easy on the eyes with its smooth sculpting on the nose, engines, and pretty much everywhere else.

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 →
Yes, I know I’m only supposed to build Castle stuff, but I got on a Space kick. So sue me. I was trying to build a fighter that conformed to the Alien Conquest livery. I think I succeeded. I’m planning on this flying over my section of the Numereji display at BrickCon 2011.
TR Brownridge (.Tromas) is organising a starfighter contest based on Maschinen Krieger (MaK). Since my love of MaK is far from secret I encourage everyone to give it a go. To get to the important details first: it runs from August 1, 2011 – October 1, 2011 in the Starfighters Group so head over there Continue reading →
I’m not entirely sold on the big black gun but I like everything else about Jared’s (Freedom01) ‘Overture’ starfighter. Fabulous use of angles and insect fins.
Even after the passing of Nate Nielson, Novvember still remained the month of the Vic Viper. This is evidenced by the 193 Vic Vipers from 88 builders shown in this starfighter map created by Pascal (pasukaru76). You can visit the Vic Vipers group on Flickr to see all these starfighters in detail.
Rob Morrissau (dasnewten) is usually known for his gorgeous angular yet blocky spaceships where, to paraphrase Jon Hall, every single piece is in the right place. He’s certainly got the pieces in the right place in the QF-45 Sarigar but this time he’s gone vertical and more organic. And the cockpit is excellent.
This set has just been unveiled at San Diego Comic Con, and we have photos, a video, and the press release below. The video should be working at 3pm EST. It isn’t yet, but hopefully will be soon. Obi-Wan's Jedi Star Fighter VIDEO 10215 – Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter™ Ages 14+. 676 pieces. US $ 99.99 Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since I’ve covered any Neo Classic Space creations, but the theme still seems to be going strong. Take this new entry by Brian Harvey (fivebonez), it’s a great take on the theme. Although the chunky style may not be entirely traditional for the theme, it works really well on this ship. I Continue reading →
Stefan (brainbike.rider) recently posted this excellent little starfighter. It has some nice little angles, and I love seeing a bright color scheme on a space craft from time to time. While the blade in front isn’t my favorite detail, it certainly works as an homage to Homeworld style ships.
And there’s only one name we can attibute that to: Nnenn. This collection of fighters shows what Nnenn has been building in the past month and a half. All the models are variations centered around a basic cockpit box design, shown on the bottom right corner of the picture. Also check out this 360 view Continue reading →
I don’t know if Uspez Morbo was thinking of Krull when he named a fighter Glave (right), but it’s certainly a lot cooler than the film was. The fighter has some nice smooth lines, and narrow shapes combined with some bulky sections to give a nice balanced aesthetic. He has also posted a fighter (below) Continue reading →
