Older bots didn't have a lot going for them in terms of emotional expression. You can never quite be sure just what they're thinking.

I have wanted to build something with teal (aka Dark Turquoise) for a long time. This was my first run. I'd like to use coral as an accent color on a future endeavor, but that will likely have to wait until more parts are available in that color. Got the build done just in time for BrickFair Virginia this year, but not the stickering.
Find many mechanical details and trans-dark blue eerie highlights spread into the organic shaping of this massive 6 foot long alien spaceship! The vintage windows are some of my favorite parts in this build, as well as the 2x2 curved sand green slope! Now what if this huge SHIP could FLY...
Futuron space fighter
I'm not quite as pleased with this as I'd hoped, but I can't quite figure out what to do to fix it. Anyway, it was built around those two old Aquanauts windscreens, and that part I am pleased with.
I guess you could say I'm wipped... Could be worse. Also some insight that is the mayhem of my process.
After 3 years of work, hiatus and more work, I'm happy to share my newst model. Inspired by concept art, Mandal Motors designs and Mandal Hypernautics cruisers from Star Wars Legends, this heavy cruiser has a total of 7760 pieces and measures 85x42 cm (33x17 in). It was a fun a challenging build that started back in 2022 and forced me to balance the odd shapes and angles with strong structural integrity and a clean finishing.
I hope you like it! I will be releasing Instructions for it at some point down the line so stay tuned!
My LEGO MOC, "Live from Space! Lives of Astronauts", is compatible with the new LEGO CITY 60350 Lunar Research Base! Connect the airlocks to expand the habitable volume!
The Orion is a short range starfighter designed to be based from space stations or capital ship as a defensive interceptor or offensive fighter.
For compact power and ease of maintenance, the Orion is powered by hydrogen burning engines. Its primary propulsion comes from a single main engine, with secondary engines for backup and minor course correction. Its unparalleled maneuverability is provided by 16 directional thrusters mounted on booms away from the craft's center of mass.
The Orion's maneuverability is enhanced by its balanced mass distribution which places the center of mass at the craft's exact center. The Orion is quadrilaterally symmetrical in terms of mass, and bilaterally symmetrical in mechanical design, providing full redundancy on every system, (including pilot, but excluding single main engine).
The Orion's weaponry consists of a deadly array of guided missiles. It carries 8 simple but deadly stealth kinetic missiles, which accelerate to high velocity towards the target, then deactivate their engines and release a volume of compressed nitrogen through an internal network of narrow tubes, instantly cooling the projectile and reducing its thermal signature, rendering the tiny frozen missile nearly invisible. Its 8 breacher torpedoes are designed to penetrate enemy craft by impact force before detonating. Its 4 shrapnel missiles contain powerful explosive charges which detonate as near as possible to the target, releasing a cloud of deadly fragments, impossible to fully deflect or dodge.
Foregoing shielding for the sake of reducing weight, the Orion relies primarily on its maneuverability and speed for defense. However, it also possesses a complement of kinetic slugs, which are fired to intercept and deflect incoming projectiles.
The Orion is operated by two pilots, whose cockpits are placed in a unique bilaterally opposed orientation. This evens mass distribution, as well as provides 360° of forward optical visibility. The microfilament reinforced, variable transparency canopies shield the pilot from dangerous radiation, as well as providing optical visibility for backup in case of external camera failure. In conjunction with the craft's computer and the pilot's helmet, the canopy adaptively darkens over dangerously bright light sources, such as explosions or engines. It can also be projected with camera views from the rear of the ship, or images from non-visible wavelengths, such as UV, infrared, or radio.
In combat, one pilot operates the craft, and the other the weapons systems. However, both cockpits contain full controls, and either pilot can operate the craft independently. Each cockpit also has fully independent life support systems.
In spite of the cramped conditions, the pilots of the Orion are proud to operate this small, fast, maneuverable, and deadly craft: a true starfighter.

Double feature of 1997’s small droid ships, the V-Wing and Cyber Blaster enter the LEGO City!
These tiny old sets were heavy on cool intricate prints. All about the minifigs here, but the V-Wing has some really fun classic space elements and shaping!
‘97 picks up with leg printing, which hadn’t been seen in a space theme since ‘94s Spyrius droid, Major Kartofski. And we’ll see leg prints on their human counterparts next time I look at RoboForce.
Happy to have both the Techdroids from this theme back in my collection, which Techdroid do you like better- red or blue?

The basic workhorse of the Jakari Defence Force, the Boilerplate-Class Light Interceptor is found in great numbers in the hangars of every Jakari battlecruiser, installation and base. What it lacks in armour, shielding, or variety of armament, it more than makes up in speed and singularity of focus. With its twin shimmer-lance cannons, it also packs a reasonable punch, especially when deployed at the ratio of overwhelming numbers the Jakari prefer: at least 8:1.
As with most vessels out of the Jakari Sunstar Systems shipyards, its designation was chosen from a pool of name suggestions put forward by the engineers and shipwrights who designed and built it. Understandably, “Boilerplate” was chosen over such suggestions as “VAST (Very Adequate Space Thing)”, “Grey Ship 461”, and the ever-suggested “Spacey McSpace Face”.

I have had this Vic Viper built since at least 2016, but every year Nnovvember would fly by and yet again I would not have taken any good pictures of it. So when I recently finished making a (very basic) lightbox for Lego photography, I thought it would be a good opportunity to finally shoot and upload something for Nnovvember.
This is my first (and so far, only) Vic Viper, so I wanted to go for something really classic in its shape and profile, hence the name. If I were to build it now I would make it much more colourful, but I did not want to change it before photographing it, given how long it has sat in a box awaiting this moment.
I will be uploading a bunch of other old models now that I have a more reliable way of taking okay pictures, so watch this space!
Built for SW Factions RPG
The founder of Haelos Star Yards is a subject of great debate, as knowledge regarding the figure known as Haelos is more fiction than fact. However, a few records from the corporation’s early days circa 600 BBY does have historical merit, as well as his rumoured return in recent years.
Depictions of said founder is identical to the footage of HSY’s new Chief Executive Officer after Imperial agents and shareholders were expelled from the corporate board.
Holofeeds from The Var-Haelos headquarters on Denon depict the CEO - or Haelos - as tall, robed, and humanoid in silhouette wearing a distinctive headdress resembling the HSY logo. Other beings of similar stature accompany him, and it is unclear if they also have ties to the corporation’s founding,

This is my spin on the classic space 918, built with the NEXO Parts Palette. Here I have enhanced the image with some extra UV lighting. The Red Nebula....may have been a happy accident...
Technic functional goodness!
Even though I grew up with LEGO Technic before my semi-dark ages, my skills in it are still rusty. I struggled for weeks trying to make the 4-wheel drive, pendular suspension, steering, double V8 engine, and working flatbed.
Medium Combat Mech. Humbolt has a sturdy frame covered by covered by ablative armor panels. with a center torso cockpit for a single pilot, It carries a fusion lance in its right hand and is armed with an auto cannon capable of firing either armor-piercing or cluster rounds. primarily powered by nuclear energy, This model is notorious for random electrical faults.
After P7 speeder did not perform as well as expected in the Unlim class, team AstroTech turned their eyes to the B+ class of the Galactic Speeder League with their new P8 racing speeder. Being as nimble as the team's previous project, it's currently the most compact speeder in class. With a large protonic engine and sleek aerodynamics it is expected to be almost unbeatable at twisty tracks with smooth surface like those on planet Exo or Mauna-Effa.
A new racing speeder entered into the Galactic Speeder League by Team Rebel Alliance. The hovercraft utilizes Y-Wing engines and some design elements of the Imperial hoverbike from the 75268 set.
House Tanatuos Envoy Ship “Silent Hand of Heaven”
The diplomats of House Tanatuos traverse displacement space in vessels that bear no visible armaments or defences, protected only by their reputation, their House colours, and the Emperor’s writ of passage.
Well, that and the House’s fleet of Thundermaw-class escort vessels, whose constant presence ensures that their envoys reach their destinations without incident.

And so, my first SHIPtember build is complete! I am very happy with how it has come out on the whole; and glad for the quick progress I made in the first half of the month, given the limited time and energy I have had for it over the last two weeks due to sickness and other things. It has been great fun to properly engage with SHIPtember this year, and I imagine I will be back at it again next year!
Thank you to everyone who commented and gave feedback and suggestions along the way, I really appreciate it!
Update of set 894/452.
So many of the really early Classic Space sets were so much more grounded in near-future science than their later counterparts, and the Mobile Tracking Station certainly fits this vibe. At the time I remember thinking the set was a bit boring and ugly, being basically a grey box on wheels; these days its more realistic near-future vibe and clear, recogniseable purpose are part of the charm.
Seeing as I seem to be on an "updated rebuilds of old Classic Space sets" kick at the moment, I couldn't resist.
The LL724 Tandem Hawk is a twin-cockpit Federation transatmospheric craft with three main engines. Shown here with various groundside tender vehicles including mobile ladder, fueler and pilot transfer landtrain, its variable-geometry atmospheric wings give it excellent in-atmosphere manoeuvring ability while its dual twin lasers and shoulder-mounted proton beams give it a significant armament for a general-purpose Federation explorer.
Typical Federation cockpit layout has the pilot on the right side and the navigator or commander on the left, but "opposite-handed" left-hand-drive versions do exist.
Developed as a long-range exploration vessel sized between its more famous stablemates the LL928 and LL924, the LL926 Cosmos Explorer ended up having less in the way of cargo space in the rear compartment, only able to fit the smallest design of rover available to the Lagrange-Lunacorp designers. Most of the extra space was taken up with fuel storage and crew supplies, giving the Cosmos Explorer the longest unsupplied range of the three vessels.
The lack of cargo capacity made the Cosmos Explorer less versatile than either of the other early LL-type explorer ships, however, and many planetary fleets of the inner system bought only a few of the craft. In the far reaches of the Uranian and Neptunian leagues and the Kuiper Belt Alliance, however, these ultra-long-range craft really came into their own.
~~~
So I was planning to build a sleekened, updated version of the old LL924 Space Transporter, but I think this ended up a bit bigger than that venerable beauty. Not quite up to the LL928, but that might actually be within reach now. Amazing thought.
Running out of inspiration after the last build, so today's FebRovery installment is a little tablescrap Ice Planet rover.
This is Team BMW's new racing speederbike for Galactic Speeder League. Light and aeroefficient, it however sacrifices some of BMW's historically good cooling effectiveness. The two photonic engine blocks are now mounted on the huge front wing, a decision pioneered by engineers from planet and team Dendrocopos a few seasons earlier.
Today the noble Juliarii are usually associated with high learning, arts and business. A pacifistic race with the barest minimum of military forces, and a heart to serve; but it has not always been so. For once, the Juliaran Empire ruled over many hundreds of systems with an iron fist. But one fighter changed it all...
For a start, its development was costly, immensely so, but the engineers behind this revolutionary craft were convinced it would pay off. However, it was a complete military flop. Too large to operate successfully in swarms, yet too lightly armed to be a successful snub fighter, it filled no convenient niche. It's “Revolutionary” and “Innovative”; orientation meant that new docks had to be constructed to house the bloody thing, new capital starships designed to carry it, new boarding systems brought in to get into it. Its "high-tech", "powerful" and "efficient" propulsion system was only understood by the 11 engineers who built it, ten of whom died in a freak yachting accident, and the eleventh of whom was a drunk living in exile for sleeping with the Emperor's wife. But an immense amount of wealth had been poured into creating the thing, pilots had been trained to fly it. The entire military economy crashed, the Empire was quickly demolished by its long-standing rivals, and the Juliarii were left with a few gunships, their home planet, and debt the size of the western galactic spiral arm. War, the “noble” Juliarii belatedly decided, didn't pay...
