Johnny Frye (Dr. X) has built a couple of neat starfighters. They’re both meant to have been built by the Japanese in the early days of star travel. If you look closely, you can see that the Tsing-Nasu (below) is an improved version of the Tsing-Yoichi (right). This improvement is attributed to an evolution in Continue reading →
The results have been announced for the Show Us What You Got Contest over on Flickr. As one of the judges in this contest, I must say that this was an extremely tough choice. There were so many fantastic entries that it was hard to narrow things down and produce only four winners. I’ve posted Continue reading →
The F550-Nautilus Fighter by Ben Jarvis is crazy beyond my imagination. It consists of an intricate skeletal shell laced with tubings. I still can’t put my mind to it.
The Starfighters group on Flickr is hosting a “Show Us What You Got” Starfighter Contest. The rules are simple: “build an original starfighter, and make it awesome.” The prizes include custom models from Peter Morris, who’s also among the panel of judges. The contest runs until March 31st, so there’s plenty of time to perfect Continue reading →
Dr. X astounds me with his latest very unique alien starfighter. Unlike most spacecrafts, this one actually resembles a living creature with the tentacles and the life-sustaining cockpit.
There’s always something overwhelming about coming back from vacation, a trip, or whatever and seeing 3,000 unread items in one’s RSS feeds. But Peter Morris makes slogging through all that worthwhile with a batch of fantastic starfighters from the past several weeks. First up, a spacey vehicle for Batman that’s my undeniable favorite: A trio Continue reading →
Check out this custom mini ARC-170 Starfighter by C. K. Yee, who used either stickers or decals or both to decorate this creation to resemble the die cast model.
Jarek (aka Jerac) deviates from his usual style of building spaceships to create this alien starfighter, claiming to have watched too much of my works. This ship reminds me of a flying face of death, and the colored reflections on the hull add a nice rust shade of texturing to the craft. I had originally Continue reading →
Jon Newsome has been a MOCpages user for quite a while now, and his most recent creation showcases the most updated version of his Gattaca starfighter in addition to a base diorama. Check out some of the cool details like the landing pad pattern and the pilot ladder.
When LEGO goth queen Pernilla Johansson (legonillan) shows up with her sigfig, you know things are about to get spooky! The Swedish builder found a lot to love about the recent Beauty and the Beast Castle, but the lilac and gold simply would not do for Pernilla’s coterie of vampires and ghouls. In Extreme Makeover: Continue reading →
Greebles are famously the extraneous bits added to the outside of a model to add texture. Builder Aidan Webb dares to ask, what if a model were nothing but greebles? The Wasteland Strider is inspired by the mechanical wildlife of the Horizon games, with Aidan exploring what a creature might look like if its rider was constantly scavenging for parts to keep the mount functional. As fragile as the beast appears, Aidan managed to wrangle it into a rideable state for a desert nomad and their supplies. It’s an incredible amount of detail for such a compact creature.
This week, we’re throwing out the rulebook and smashing the (injection) mould. Welcome to a Wild Card edition on Minifig Monday — a glorious grab-bag of minifigure madness where demons rub shoulders with space police, and chicken hags party with cake golems. You read that right. This week’s featured builders are a masterclass in thinking Continue reading →
