There are good ways to blend a lot of colors in a model, and there are bad ways. Joe Perez has mastered the good way. The wings really make this model, both in technique and color.

ROVI the Recycled Robot
Here’s a perfect example of why there is no such thing as a useless piece. Even broken pieces can be used, given sufficient imagination and skill, as flickr user erth&fiya so aptly demonstrates with his adorable creation made entirely of damaged pieces.
Pointlessly Charming
This rover by Luke Hutchinson (Derfal Cadarn) was deliberately designed to be purposeless. The description mentions that it doesn’t have steering, and was built by Fool-Trons. It does however, feature tons of interesting greebles, and a very impressive diorama display.
Starship Age of Light
The Age of Light Starship by ROOK has interesting visual details like the studded fins and neon “whiskers,” making you wonder what they’re used for. There’s also an array of support crafts for this SHIP.

Great Visibility!
This little space ship by /ˈɛlˈdiːˈɛm/ really delivers the whole package. It has an interesting shape, sleek angles, and a popping color scheme. What really sets it apart, though, is the canopy. It’s a face mask for Buzz Lightyear, and an odd shaped piece to work with.

Prometheus unbound
Rob (dasnewten) solidifies his place among LEGO builders as the “master of angles” with this excellent microscale frigate inspired Studio Nue and Kazutaka Miyatake.
G.A.I.A. – HMS ‘Relentless Fire’
This microscale combat cruiser by Jon B. (Heiwa71) has a solid balance of colors and details to satisfy a spacer’s cravings for a SHIP (which I have not seen many original concepts as of late). The hangar bays are my favorite spots on this creation. The full gallery can be found on MOCpages.
Sail away to your new home aboard the North Central Positronics Colonial Fleet
Mike Yoder has his own corporate entity reminiscent of Black Mesa from the Half-Life universe and Weyland-Yutani from the Alien franchise. North Central Positronics is a shadowy, semi-military organization with heavily defended bases on earth and a full-fledged fleet in space. Mike’s latest addition includes a pair of cargo barges, a pilot ship, and several heavy fighters.
Garry King’s Battlestar Valkyrie
I’ve made an association of the name Garry King with gigantic Lego Battlestar Galactica ships. Garry’s latest is the Battlestar Valkyrie, flying in at over 10 feet and containing exactly 42,341 pieces (wow, really?). Check out MOCpages for more photos and additional facts about this ship.
A bed just the right size
LegoBucket puts a spacefaring twist on a classic fairytale with this scene, in which a spaceman finds a comfortable place to lay his weary head. Little details like the plant on the dresser, hat on the smallest alien, and gloves on the floor make the scene.
Terrorism on Mars!
Everybody loves Octan. Well, maybe not the Lunar Separatists, as Mark Stafford (lego_nabii) shows in this lovely diorama.
The Martian strata is particularly excellent, but the checkered stripe on the roadway is another great touch.
A Wind From the Past
This speeder bike by Keith Goldman (La Villa Strangiato) may have been built and posted in December, but it’s still worth noting. I only wish I’d spotted it when Keith first posted the lovely shot. The bike itself is quite stylish, but I think we can all agree that the photography and lighting really set it apart. The wake behind the bike, in particular, is just lovely.
