I like a heavy motorbike as much as the next guy, but there’s something a little fishy about this LEGO trike by Ian Ying! Maybe it’s the sharp blue-and-red custom color-scheme or the cold golden gleam of the engine (with many parts recolored to pearl gold), but something makes me feel like there’s jaws (and teeth!) closing in. Well, not to worry. With a ride this fast, you’re sure to leave the competition eating your bubbles!
The Albatross multi-atmospheric carrier ship is a brutalist beast of aerospace engineering dreamed up by concept artist Theo Stylianides and recreated here in LEGO by Vitus Barth. The massive dual-colored wings look incredible and pose quite a structural challenge for the builder. Vitus does a great job matching the form of his inspiration while making some creative choices with color that enhance the build as a LEGO model, such as making the top of the craft in tan and using black for the impressive “orbit breaker” thrusters and intakes.
We first featured Vitus’ work back in 2007 and it’s great to see he’s still creating and sharing amazing sci-fi builds.
