Futuron continues its client program in B+ class of the Galactic Speeder League with team Mauna-Effa. Being a volcanic planet, Mauna-Effa provides an excellent source of fuel for engines — lava! The speeder is aerodynamically similar to Futuron's most successful racecraft ever, BRS 05 B+. It utilizes cooling units from speeders produced on planet Alpha, and engines manufactured on Mauna-Effa. Given this, it's the League's first truly interplanetary project.
In an attempt to make the standard rover more service-friendly, it has been tried to move the engine and aggregates to the outside, while keeping the whels on the inside of the frame. There has been some progress in the field of upside-down rovers lately, but the concept of an inside-out rover must be pronounced a dead end.
The bridge is almost entirely the same bridge as on the Jaguar, the previous incarnation of this vessel. I thought it worked OK on that ship but think it fits much better on this one. I might save this piece.

The set that got me my first blue astronaut as a kid, the little Astro Dasher was also a good source of those triangular girder wing elements.
I was in the mood to rebuild a small Classic Space set, but with so much of my blue and light bluish grey in use on this year's SHIPtember build, it would have to be either one of the blue and white sets or something very tiny. Flipping through Brickset's category of CS sets for inspiration, the Astro Dasher caught my eye.
I imagine it's a small surface skimmer/speeder type vehicle with some limited space capability.
Third of Three Vic Vipers for Nnovvember 2010.
Also, per suggestions I did do some Nnenn-style modding, with tape on the windshield/hinge bricks and a cut/sanded 1x1 brick on the end of the gun to mirror the angle of the gun.
Named after General Grant's nickname the Unconditional Surrender was the Union's response to the Confederated Colonies' "Grey Ghost." Like the Ghost, the U.S. was armed with a weapon designed to pierce the armor on capitol ships.
Fun Fact: I grew up in Grant County, Oregon, named after the Civil War General. It seemed the logical counterpart to John "Grey Ghost" Mosby.
More Lego shoots with extra SX-70 frames I had after a shoot elsewhere.

Still randomly finding missing pieces for this.

A sub-atmospheric speeder with some thicc engines. Great for aerial stunts and high-speed racing, but the insurance rates kinda suck.

I made the stickers with office labels and highlighters. Only the best materials.
The idea behind this build was to capture a sci-fi themed outpost that specialised in the research and growing of plants and fauna on a colonised alien planet. The scene depicts a native species of giant worm attacking the scientists whilst being defended by the colony's security.
My first "real" bike.. It was fun to get out of my comfort zone, even if it remains a silly vehicle, which is not exactly new for me ^^
I'm a bit late in posting these pictures, but here is our model of the space shuttle Discovery in action. The model is suspended upside down from the roof, giving the illusion that it is in space.
The orbiter itself is 1.4m long and approx 25,000 bricks.
Its debut was at the Brickman experience in Sydney
#BREAKING: Officers DoubleTap415, Cup Cake and Dewey (from SouthLAnd) bust the largest computer theft ring in the history of the LEGO Universe!
The suspects include a Zombified Blacktron trooper, Stormtrooper, Red Spaceman, and a Rebel Pilot who apparently have been secretly collaborating to run a billion dollar multi-national, multi-galaxy, and multi-time dimensional computer theft ring for over 15 years!
Great job Officers! These criminal scum bags are going away for a long time.
♥ Enjoy LEGO POLICE FORCE on other Social Media ♥
I love comments and feedback!

FebRovery 2022, installment 11.
There seem to be a lot of motorbike-type rovers in my submissions this year. Here's another one, in my personal favourite Space Police colours, the first generation of that subtheme.
My submission to Brickset's Instagram competition to commemorate 60 Years of the LEGO brick, here's my microscale replica of the LEGO Space Futuron massive model "Monorail Transport System!"
I actually owned this set when I was very young, and I've always considered it my favorite LEGO set of all time. Despite growing up in poverty, I managed to get hold of this gargantuan model at age 6: after my parents divorced in 1989, my father moved away and tried to win me in a custody battle by sending me this huge set for my birthday. With my lack of dexterity at the time, I was unable to assemble most of this huge model according its instructions, and instead used the parts to make random space stations and ships. Then at age 7, I used components of the monorail to build a space station MOC as an entry to a LEGO-building contest at our local KMart in Lancaster, PA. I won a t-shirt for my efforts.
When my family moved around a lot in my childhood, I lost many key components of the monorail, and to this very day, only some of the grey tracks and black stanchions survive in my collection. Eventually some day I plan on installing this monorail to travel around the perimeter of the interior my house. Unfortunately the grey tracks are incredible rare, so hopefully a 3D printing techniques can fill in the gaps.
As for this particular model/photo: I built this in just a few days, with the major obstacle being the wait for the curved tiles to arrive in the mail. Otherwise, the overall project was rather streamlined. Subsequent challenges involved the photo shoot: the big challenge was shooting it in low light with proper fill light, in order to keep the backgrounds dark and the subject exposed enough. I placed the model on top of a black folding table, then achieved the red glowing background by placing a red spotlight up against a black backdrop. Then I pointed a bright white softbox over the scene, and diffused it with a reflector disc.
Single-wheel rovers are awesome, but I think this is the first time I've pulled it off without the "cheat" of supporting the vehicle elsewhere as well.
Only my fifth rover this FebRovery. I need to step it up.
Spyrius: another great 1990s Space theme. I was 9 years old when Spyrius was first launched; my first set of this series was the small Saucer Scout spaceship. Although it was a short-lived theme with a handful of sets, these space scoundrels were intended to be successors to the villainous Blacktron factions from the late ‘80s and early '90s. Some of the notable highlights of this theme were the large robot vehicles, as well as the introduction of an android minifigure.
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.

Built for the Real World +200 Starfighter contest.
Comments and critique welcome.
Golden hour on Proxima Centauri b is quite epic with its triple star system.

I remade set 6851 „Tri-Wheeled Tyrax“ for #JbbClassicRemake on Instagram.
I had so much fun upscaling the classic set. Hope you like it.
A microscale build of the Spaceship Victory from 승리호 (SPACE SWEEPERS).
I started on this project almost immediately after the movie released internationally, and displayed it in August 2021 at BrickFair Virginia.
At the time I started building this, the only available reference for the ship were screenshots, so I opted to leave out the transformation between its two configurations. Now that better images of the ship are available online... I would probably still build it the same way because the reconfiguration system for the engines is absurd.
A Technic frame with suspension, working steering, 4 wheel drive, double V8 engine, and working flatbed to carry spaceship.
Classic Space grey greebly covering with large cab with big yellow windscreen.
I started a series back in 2018, called Flipover Series. It consist of 3 flipover rovers which have 2 different completely usable sides. The 3 rovers commemorate 6 eras of the old space themes.
This is the first one in the Classic Space / Futuron theme. It's the smallest one. It has the old lego light system.
On the Classic Space side you can access the battery. and can pack cargo on the back, and it's got lights for visibility.
On the Futuron side you have seats for 6 minifigs, 3 cannons and a small compartment for tools.
The cockpit can be rotated with a knob on the back.
Also the rover has 4 wheel steering with a knob in the back for steering. as well.

Roberwhal VF-20 is a racing speeder produced by Kuat Vehicles, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, for team XtreMe Racing to be used in the Unlim class of the Galactic Speeder League. Before season 20 of the League, team principal Lando Calrissian decided to switch from the vehicles built on Kostamir by a small private enterprise to those produced by a large corporation. However, the Kostamirian genius engineer Jean-Christophe Arbousique also took part in the design process. The model's most characteristic feature is the unusual cockpit where driver comfortably lies on his chest, as opposed to sitting straight or nearly straight in other racing vehicles of the League.
I still exist! It has been a long time since I have uploaded anything, though I have been building a fair amount. I get frustrated when I can't get a good photo of a MOC and so I often just don't bother. But then I realised that an OK photo is better than no photo at all, so here we are!
I built this a number of months ago and it has been sitting around on my desk since. You Star Wars EU fans will (hopefully) recognise it pretty quickly, and for those of you who don't this is a Z-95 Headhunter, a small starfighter that was created as an in-universe precurser to the famous X-Wing. My MOC is of the original non-Clone Wars version which I think is vastly superior.
Anyway it's good to upload again, I also have a Vic Viper in the works for this year's Novvember which should hopefully be up before the end of the month. Comments and criticism are welcome as always :)
He can be a bit clumsy at times but he is very strong and already made many places accessible for everyone on mars.

The Lagrange-Lunacorp 82 "Cricket" is a vastly more popular design than its LL286 stablemate. A small, open-cockpit personal rover with adjustable-height suspension, it has proved popular with explorers, prospectors, planetary surveyors and hobbyists alike, and has been produced in 7 separate iterations now.
Though the controls are of a rather unusual keypad type, the Cricket has still proved fairly intuitive to drive; its one drawback being the lack of a passenger seat and the inability to carry any cargo.
