My latest #WIP: a little light scout #walker. #Lego #MOC #afol #legomoc #legopic #legomech #legomecha #legoscifi #legospace #apocalego #legomilitary #legomania
It's FebRovery again, my favourite themed building month.
So let's begin with a modification of set 10497 (or as I like to call it, the "UCS Galaxy Explorer") into a rover.
As far as names go, "Planetary Explorer" was the obvious and only choice. The rear cargo compartment contains a small skimmer-type vehicle to mirror the rover carried by the original
Wayne Enterprises is back into the Galactic Speeder League. This time, the corporation has built B+ racing speeders for Green Racing team. The team enters Alan Scott and Oliver Queen for the 13th season of the Galactic Speeder League.
10 years ago this month I introduced the first version of my sigfig, Captain Robert Knight of Nova Team and officially started life as an AFOL. He’s had many iterations this past decade but many ideas have also stayed the same.
Nova Team fans may notice he’s no longer sporting custom printed torso and legs. I’ve since retired them. Over the last few years LEGO has been giving us Classic Space fans a lot of love in the minifigure department so I felt it was time. The rest of Nova Team will get their time in the limelight soon enough. Just waiting on the Subspace Carrier Service to deliver some BrickLink orders.
As always, thank you everyone for your continued interest!

A reversible submersible.
Part submarine, part spaceship, this seems like the sort of thing Seatron might have come up with if it had ever got past the prototype stage.
Sadly the pilot seat has to be taken out and reattached to flip between spaceship mode and submarine mode, but otherwise I'm pleased with the concept.
A microscale spaceship built for the open round of Iron Forge.
The seed parts are the Classic Space helmet (used four times) and the standard motorcycle helmet (used once)
Not inspired by anything in particular, I just went for something and subconsciously ended up Star Wars-y.
FebRovery 2022, installment 20.
The VX2267 Cryomander is a large, eight-wheeled long-range surface explorer in use by the Interstellar Cryotic Exoplanet and Polar Landscapes Exploration Teams (ICEPLANET) for exploring the surface of cryogenic-temperature worlds and ultra-cold environments such as the famed "ice planet" Krysto, home base of the famed Team 2002.
Named after the salamanders that its low-slung, forward-cab design is vaguely reminiscent of, the Cryomander features large, high-powered communications arrays, substantial fuel and environmental supplies and a pair of rear-mounted manipulators.
Drilling Machine made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
In the spirit of "Classic Space", the drill fits easily into the display.
The small challenge of this construction was to divert the Christmas ball Lego to build the cockpit of the drill .
To complicate my life, I built this machine in version "Tripod"... 3 "legs" to give it a look "Alien"
High point of the show ! Smoke (with a smoke generator) comes out of the crater under drill machine. (See the video)
I am happy, I find this machine very fun :)
Vigilum Class Scout Vehicles are built for speed, allowing their fearless riders to flit across the battlefield and behind enemy lines to gather much-needed intel on the Accused.
For a long time when I was at University, most of my Lego building was focused on creating armies and terrain for games of Brikwars with a group of friends. While we stopped playing Brikwars with any semblance of regularity four or five years ago, most of the models for a couple of armies have remained intact since then, in a box under the spare bed, awaiting proper photography before I can finally disassemble them. Built between 2012 and 2016, the models themselves are of varying quality, but I thought I would upload and preserve them in photo form anyway.
These models come from my “main” Brikwars army - officially called the Iustitiae Praeconum, but more lovingly referred to as the “SpOrks”. Their backstory was that they were members of a highly advanced race that had taken it upon themselves to act as a galactic judge, jury, and executioner for other species they deemed criminal - Judge Dredd writ large. I decided that I wanted these highly advanced spacefarers to be Orks - hence “SpOrks”. Aesthetically they are heavily indebted to the Eldar/Craftworld Aeldari from Warhammer 40,000, with most of their vehicles taking direct inspiration from particular Eldar units.
Looking back on the army now, it is all a bit uncomfortably fascistic for my tastes, but I thought I would preserve the models - complete with the descriptions of the units I had put on their stat cards at the time - regardless.

Of course that is Lego and not tin, but I really wanted to convey the vintage 50s' saucer toy look for this build. This MOC is of course part of Febrovery: every February, lego enthusiasts challenge themselves in this most noble art of making silly space rovers. I also wanted to include the parts from newelementary.com that didn't make the cut for the parts fest at the end of 2019. This build started when I noticed the very subtle angle you can achieve when combining the new slope 49618 with the much older 30022 tipper end.

The Blacktron BLB-7
Superfast long-range bomber-looter. With 2 ridiculously big and strong engines, bomb bay, and cargo space.
Seriously, I suck at coming up with technical specifications and back-stories and whatnot. So here's a spaceship with really big guns that go pew-pew. It's supposed to look kinda like TR's for the Starfighter Telephone game. (Renamed to the Condor. Seems to fit.)
Part mech, part rover, the Lagrange-Lunacorp 286 Moonskater was one of their least commercially successful designs.
The thinking of the design team was that the design would combine the speed of a traditional rover with the agility of a mech; however, the addition of wheels to the vehicle's feet made the LL286 inherently unstable and it had a reputation for falling over and being difficult to control.
The few that were produced mostly saw service as mechanic-shop utility vehicles used to repair large spaceships and rovers, where their manipulator arms could be used to best effect.
X1 Freedom Rebel Fighter
The X1 was a Pre-Republic ship lost in time with old markings of a forgotten faction. All grace and dignity were left behind in favor of raw power and functionality. This combat-ready ship's oversized cannons were optimized with its powerful engines for the best obliteration of its enemy. Dogfighting against it was not advisable if you valued your life.
Some say X-Wing was inspired by this relic a long time ago.

Just some microscale Blacktron I goodness. This is another one that would be really fun to scale up.
In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is an example module showing the what the habitats look like. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.

corellian_custom on Instagram had this incredible design for a a real powerhouse of an X-Wing Starfighter. I loved the design and put it in brick form.
Built for the Christchurch Brick show in 2015 this classic space/ Tintin crossover was built to the moonbase standards, in that it has 4x 48 stud moonbase modules.
The rocket opens up to reveal the classic spacemen living their daily lives.
Approx 3,000 bricks and took 2 weeks to build
The hardest part of the model was recreating the LEGO moonbase from the 80's on a 3x scale!

Here is a baby replica of the latest iteration of the LEGO Galaxy Explorer set 10497. It still has the main play features of the original set just down sized. Pop off canopy, steering wheels, opening rear end with boarding ramp, airlock sliding door and last but not least ride on booster engines!
This was a blast to build. And was inspired by the builds @troublesbricking made while I was travelling Europe. While on holiday I managed to track down this squad of space babies so that when I got as soon as I got back from holiday I could get into building this moc.
Here's my revamp of the iconic All Terrain Vehicle from 1981. Enjoy, and support the classic space set idea in the link below! ideas.lego.com/projects/593592ef-5da6-4a2a-9422-a17e0f8438ea
This build is Ice Station Icarus on the planet Krysto, inspired by Ice Planet 2002 but using the range of pieces and building techniques now available.
The colour scheme and styling of this build will hopefully be recognisable to any fan of the original LEGO Ice Planet 2002 sets (1993-1994), though I have broadened the colour scheme ever so slightly for my post-apocalyptic Ice Planet setting.
This build features my previously posted KDF-07 Frost Giant Mech and Surefoot TR3 Rover
Space: Chase for the Brick - I decided to enter the LEGO Ideas contest: "You're the Final Piece" where contestants are to create a picture/art with Lego in 4 categories. I chose space. It was an opportunity for me to try some more techniques in Cinema 4D, Octane, and use the powerful asset engine, Quixel Bridge. This was completed using Bricklink Studio, Mecabricks, Cinema 4D, Greyscale Gorilla Lightkit Pro 3, Octane, Quixel Bridge, and Adobe Photoshop all done on a Puget machine. I hope you like it and I hope it does well in the contest. Go on over to Lego Ideas to check it out!

:::I was a little reluctant to post this image because I kind of felt like there wasn't much visually going on here but when I started to look at the previous two "Test Flight" photos as a body of work instead of looking at them individually I felt that this image would connect nicely to what will be the last image in this series which I hope to post soon.

The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope.
Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighing almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version.
With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building.
One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom.
The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer.
The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp.

LEGO Space: because you can’t spell “asteroids” without “steroids!”
This is a composite image of two photos: the top image is six retro space minifigs, and below is their custom magnfigure counterparts. I've never created a magnifigure of a Space Police II minifig, due to the lack of green-colored hinge plates and modified tiles.
