With the Basilisk starfighter, I wanted to try some weapons/loadout variants, like in a SHMUP. This is the level 2, an upgraded minigun. The one in the original photos looks like it will be level 5. More upgrades to come!

Droneuary, part 4.
The Plasma Armed Combat Patrol Support (PhACoPS) droid is a relatively large but low-slung multilegged Blacktron combat robot patterned after the trilobite from ancient Earth prehistory.
Covered in heavy buckycarbon-polymer ablative armour and armed with a pair of independently-targeting heavy plasma accelerator cannons as a primary weapon and twin high-power electrical dischargers as a close-in weapon, the PhACoPS is relatively compact for its combat power.
It is often used as a fire support system by Blacktron combat patrols and also serves as an armoured hub for power-regeneration service for the entire platoon, allowing relatively easy in-combat replenishment of equipment power systems.
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.
Something from the backlogs, just a little Blacktron 1 fighter / scout craft. It wasn't the original intent but I think it ended up taking some influence from Carter's Shrikes from 2016.
A customized Lego 10019 Ultimate Collector Series Rebel Blockade Runner. I built this over four years ago and kept it in storage for most of that time. I recolored the starship to match the markings of Bail Organa's consular ship from Revenge of the Sith. I recently learned that the ship seen in the film is actually a CR-70 Corvette and was retconned by Lucasfilm after the film released. I actually LOVE the CR-70 design because it is more compact than the CR-90. I have begun designing a smaller CR-70 Corvette MOC that will be more accurate to the film and not just a custom version of a UCS set.
A little bit update to my Lego Ideas project “Space Rover” A.K.A. “Benny’s Space Mech”. As I mentioned before, it has an Interchangeable arms feature, by swapping between different arm modules, "Space Rover" can have different configurations to perform different tasks. This time, a new arm module has been introduced ——The drill arm. Currently it has 3 different configurations. Here is the link to my project: ideas.lego.com/content/project/link/b6337c2b-393f-45d0-8f...
This is my last Basilisk, for now. I have some other ideas I think would look good, and one I hit the wall on parts availability with (olive and dark red), but other projects beckon. So, I give you the Blacktron version, rejected from the Lego Ideas space competition for the 90th anniversary, as not being new.
This is a new project by Kuat Vehicles for the Galactic Speeder League, a client Racing speeder for privateer Team HardLines SW which is from now on headquartered on planet Kuat, to be close to its supplier.
Alien story made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
No display "Space Panic" without... Panic ^_^
A wink at the mythical movie monster... Alien ! Reinterpretation of some of the cult scenes of Alien movies.
Of course on this display as in space, no one can hear you scream...
Ellen Ripley, Jones and the Power Loader (In fight with some aliens)
Blacktron squaddies were supposed to be rough, tough and dangerous.
Dave.... wasn't, exactly.
Using the extendable arm of the BT269 Tridax rover to offer flowers to Corporal Astrid? Well, it was very sweet, but if any of the Federations bennies saw him, they'd likely laugh themselves silly...
A Valentines/FebRovery crossover
Blacktron attack frigate. Just playing around trying to properly figure out three-dimensional shaping, and this little frigate-y looking mini capital ship took shape. So in honour of Star Wars Day yesterday, have some Imperial SD-inspired Blacktron goodness.
A racing machine for the Galactic Speeder League based on the 75268 snowspeeder. In fact, only some parts are used. I dropped the idea of using the large single-mold base of the set and made it look more like a pimped microfighter.
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.
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!
These guys were built for a collab a few years ago but didn't get displayed at show until this year at BricksCascade.
Introducing the first wave of my custom magnifigures of legacy LEGO themes! Here's the classic M:Tron astronaut scientist, with a new articulated upgrade!
Octan Hypertanker
SHIP Length: 118 Studs
Built for SHIPtember 2025.
My SHIPtember plan this year began with a specific goal. I created pages of sketches to prototype layouts for a microscale SHIP with a full interior, and I had a bucket of transparent purple parts purchased over the previous few months set aside in the hope they would be useful for my plan.... A plan which I completely discarded on August 31st when I found the Skeleton Storage Heads (Large) on clearance at a local shop.
So instead I built a minifig scale, Moonbase compatible Octan fuel transport with zero planning.
So after I built that Star Trek bridge module, I got to thinking about how well the Classic Space and Star Trek universes would mesh.
Both are set in space, obviously. Both feature brightly-coloured uniforms. Both depict a future of cooperation and exploration rather than conflict and warfare. Even some of the set names (6929 Starfleet Voyager) sound like Trek.
One of the big visual differences, of course, is that Starfleet crewmembers wear uniform jerseys and beam down to Earthlike planets with breathable atmospheres, whereas Classic Space astronauts wear spacesuits all the time.
I confess that even as a kid this used to bother me, and I'd want to make airlocks and suiting-up rooms on all my bases.
But if the Classic Space astronauts are exploring Earthlike planets, there's surely no reason they have to wear spacesuits. So what would that look like>
Rather like my CS-torso Trek bridge, I suspect.
This, then is my evolution of Classic Space in the direction of Star Trek. I hope you like it.
FebRovery 2022, installment 9, and time for a two-seater version of the mighty 886 rover.
Not too much in the way of super-creative technique, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
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.
A multi-purpose Soviet construction mech. First test units were produced in 2048. As the model became outdated, though robust and reliable in operation, a couple of dozens of Udarniks were cheaply sold to Hibernian colonists. The mechs are now being used for construction and construction-related purposes in some remote settlements. The mech can be operated by a crew of one person or remotely. It has two mechanic hands and a mini-crane at the back, both can be replaced with other construction tools.
I'm something of a fan of vertically-oriented ships, but I don't build them as much as that might suggest. They always look really cool, but they're logistically awkward and often hard to display; however, here's a little vertical-fin space fighter I put together.

I finally scratched the space ship itch again. This is a one-day creation, a micro (or maybe nano?) scale deep space survey vessel. Finally made use of the Bright Light Orange I've been amassing, too. Also cross-posting this on Instagram.
