Gentle Giant SHIP swims to a new Horizon

Concept artist Pierre E Fieschi is a SHIP legend, having created dozens of large-scale LEGO space vehicles over nearly 20 years. It’s been a while since we’ve seen new MOCs from Pierre (outside of his work on LEGO video games), so it was a joy to see his return this SHIPtember with a model inspired by the machine designs from the Horizon video games.  As a fan of the franchise, I can’t help but look for weak points for Aloy to chip away at. Those power cells look tempting and are brilliantly designed using Technic link treads. The head, cleverly using black tubes to achieve the shape of a baleen whale, seems lacking in firepower. True to its name though, this Gentle Giant is closer to a peaceful Tallneck than a Thunderjaw, so maybe we shouldn’t try to blow this one up.

Standing out against the dark depths of space

LEGO Spaceship builder Pierre Fieschi doesn’t put together models as often as he used to, but when he does, you can be sure it’ll be something worth taking a look at. This 105-stud long starship is for “deepspace rescue and crisis response” and appears to be ready for anything, bedecked as it is with grabber arms, sensors, and drop-ships. The colour choices in this model are excellent, the accent colours really popping against the greebly detailing. I love the striping on the yellow and black carapace section — that in conjunction with the bold teal gives this a strong Chris Foss vibe, and evoking the grand-daddy of starship designers is surely a good thing in anyone’s book.
