Tim Goddard gets all swooshable with this beauty in classic space livery. At first the intricate detailing and lovely presentation might distract you from the scale of this vessel. That is no minifig pilot. Tim used one of the keychain figures to bump up the scale on this ship and he did a very nice job.

Mr. Shnoz goes for a drive
Djokson has really become a master of facial expression and his latest build is no exception. The look of contentment really showcases the love between a “thing” and his car. Talking about the car…there are some lovely details there as well. Besides being built out of a huge Bionicle head, the flow of the undercarriage detailing is really very nice.
Y-3 Pilot – a crazy cubicle dweller.
We posted this fellow’s personal workplace earlier but he deserves a post of his own. Nobu-Tary really created something unusual with this character. The use of the old dog head for a face mask is simply inspired and the rest of the character is made up of a crazy mixture of parts that somehow end up working together for the greater good. It’s really quite impressive.
Titan DSX – big style in a small package
This new fighter by Cole Blaq, makes excellent use of sculpted pieces to provide a detailed and variegated shape in a small form. Take a look, and you’ll notice that the (awesome looking) cockpit is only two studs wide, and the entire creation is probably under 6 inches long.
Sora Vic Viper
There is some really nice color-blocking on this Vic Viper, by Kyubi. I really like how the white outlines make the rest of the colors really pop. Also, the details and textures that have been worked in here are really exceptional. Lastly, if you look really close, you will see some really cool parts-usage. Some of my favorites are the skis and ski-poles.
It’s just called “Space German”
Milan Sekiz built this menacing craft and he calls it “Space German”. I think it’s more Neo-Blacktron, but what do I know? Whatever it is, the ship has some lovely lines and a great color scheme. I’d hate to run across this in the far reaches of outer space…
Scorpion Starfighter
This little beauty, by Jackson, has a lot going for it. The beefy engines give it somewhat of a ‘chibi’ look which I’m liking here. The color selection and precise sticker arrangement work together to give it a nice, clean feel.
Animalistic Hardsuits
This pair of hard-bitten space warriors are sporting hard-suits common to their species. √erde’ has this long backstory about how the wolves are all mean and everything. Don’t you believe it. That bird looks like it deserves everything it gets.
Thundermount
Mark Stafford does it again with this killer Vic Viper. The use of the train front is brilliant as is using the brick seperator for the tail. You also have to love those intakes. Really there is too much awesome here to list. It’s just a sweet, sweet ship.
Angular momentum makes quick work of space battles
This crazy cool Vic Viper version by Rancorbait is chock full of sweet angles and great color blocking. The builder deftly applies some of the new angular slopes LEGO’s been producing in recent years, and the result is spectacular. I particularly love the clever use of this piece down the front of each side, which is so well integrated that I almost didn’t notice it. Overall, this ship looks like a combination of something from Tron: Legacy and LEGO’s own classic Blacktron theme.
4×4 Greeble Transporter
In future, greebles will be highly prized and fought over. David Roberts has built a vehicle to safeguard all those precious bits.
I love the brightness of this rover. The white highlights really seem to jump out and I love the steering mechanism! Using the pistons makes for a really smooth turn. Very nicely done, David!
Warhammer 40K tank on a roll
In the spirit of that old Imperial saying, Victory is achieved through mettle. Glory is achieved through metal, comes this beast of a tank. The Vindicator will stop at nothing to crush its opponents, and flickr user Slnine has done a bang-up job with this LEGO version. While the builder is careful to point out that he took inspiration from some previous models, his version is still super cool and quite a feat.
