After I built the inverted color scheme version of this fighter, I caught a bit of a repaint bug. Here's the first of several that I've completed. Dark blue and lime. I've had a WIP SHIP on my build table since before my 11 year old son was born... someday, I'll finish that, too.
Never mind the infallible precision radar guidance you'd need to land a freaking space rocket in an interior hangar accessible through a door barely wider than the rocket itself, interior hangars are cool. I was quite happy with the microscale retro-style rocket, but felt like it needed something more to complete the build; thus the hangar and port facility.
T.O.R.D - Tactical Omnilateral Reconnaissance Droid
Greetings! I want to give this robot some focus. I built it for my first Exploriens diorama in September. T.O.R.D is a swift reconnaisance mech often used in initial observations of a fossil containing site. It is foldable and is often carried on the back of a larger mecha which transports it to the point of interest. When scouting, the droid's many sensors effectively scan large areas in all directions. The green hand hologram is an omni-tool (taken from Mass Effect). Omni-tools are handheld devices that combine a computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and minifacturing fabricator.

S-Wing Starfighter
A collaborative design project
At first I had no idea how to use dark blue on the S-Wing. I knew I wanted a way for the wings to fold up so that it would have a landed mode. My first idea was to use grey jumper plates and 1x1 dark blue tiles rotated 45º to make a snake like pattern. I abandoned that and used the neon orange with unintentionally referenced the Nexo-Knights theme. I really love the way the greebles on the underside turned out.
One cold weekend afternoon, I was looking for something to do with my three year old in the house. We went to our Lego room, "What do you want to build?", "A spaceship," Star Wars obsessive Elliot answered, "an E-Wing!" I knew that the Lego fan site From Bricks to Bothans held a letter based starfighter contest years before, but I was willing to give it our own try.
During the build I developed our own set of self imposed RULES:
1. The ship has to be in the shape of the letter
2. It must be strong enough for a three year old to play with it without breaking
3. The primary color and cockpit location are chosen by Elliot
4. Any piece Elliot finds (that matches the color scheme) MUST be incorporated into the build
5. What Elliot says, goes. So if he wants a play feature or design element, I had find a way to make it happen
As the project progressed the builds became more and more complex and the rules became more flexible. We finished the letters of Elliot's first name and then he wanted his middle name. During the second set of letters I tried to incorporate more complex play features.
These creations sit in display in his room and he loves playing with them and creating self invented narratives and worlds. Working with him helped stretch my skills and introduced him into the process of design.
All 13 of these ships were on public display at Brickworld Chicago 2019. Please let me know if you saw them there and what you thought!
Finally acquired a couple of these Nexo Knights windscreen elements and decided to build a nice little Ice Planet fighter to showcase one of them. I'm calling it the "Winterspike" because most of the other names that seemed appropriate (Ice Dagger, Snowhawk etc) seem to already be taken.
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.
Adapted from the MAG-1 skycar chassis, this low orbit fighter offers agility and firepower in a compact frame, if only at the cost of pilot safety.

Based on the Russian concept of launching a miniature shuttle from the back of the Antonov. This was eventually built in real-life but unfortunately the external tank was damaged in a move and beyond repair or rebuild.
Ever since I had the privileged opportunity to suggest this cockpit be moulded in the iconic Blacktron I colours, I have dreamed of putting it into a MOC worthy of the amazing 80's aesthetic that the Snow Speeder windscreen just SCREAMS. To me, that's an attack-helicopter with legs a-la Mechwarrior/Battletech - something in the realm of the Marauder/Catapult (Mad Cat / Timber Wolf / Stormcrow / Viper ) variety. Since the amazing set The Force Burner Snowspeederâ„¢ 75414
designed by Daniel Lehmann released last month, and because he graciously outed me as the catalyst for the windscreen's bold look, I have endeavoured to make my retro bipedal Battle Mech. I used a TON of vintage parts and tried to stick closely to the original design language and pattern of the Blacktron I sets. This model is my sturdiest Mech MOC yet! Incorporating dynamic posing, I could achieve this cool pose, and with some supports it could definitely get into a running position. It has working actuators and armor panels that adapt to the shifts in the legs, seats two pilots, and has a winch for them to ascend to the main body from the ground. I am planning to do some outdoor/diorama scenes with SPI getting their comeuppance, but it is an ABSOLUTE dust magnet so I ran to the office for some beauty shots. If you want the whole story of the windscreen, ask me in person. This will be at Skærbæk 2025. I hope you enjoy!!!
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

Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the horizon of all those treacherous dunes on Classic Space box art? Well, heck if I know -- BUT I can ask you a better question: how does one get there? CERTAINLY not with 6mm offset tread wheels mind you! Legend has it, as you progress deeper and deeper into the dunes, the sediment becomes darker and redder. Some believe this is because of a rich resource which lies deep beneath it, some say it leads to treasure, and others may warn that is home to the Insectoids... Personally I think its because I only had so many options to work with for backgrounds -- BUT the answer is up to you!
------------------------------------------------------------------THE CRAWLER------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the big question, how does one cross those dunes? Well, the nerds over at Classic Space HQ (trans-green edition) have the answer! They came up with the legendary idea of slapping the biggest tires possible on the 6901 Mobile Lab, but then quickly realized the tire itself was far bigger than the lab, so they had to resort to an increased budget. They searched far and wide for whatever traditional light gray pieces they could find and were able to create a behemoth lab crawler ready to challenge the dunes themselves. It is time to discover and research what lies beyond them!

Wind-powered rover for large salt planes. The vertical rotor drives the main wheel, independent of wind direction. Steering by rudder blade. Works!
Known to the Blacktron Alliance as the "Jackal"-class strike craft, and to their Federation foes simply as the "Raider", this is a manoeuvrable small craft used by the Blacktron for a number of roles, particularly commerce interdiction against Federation trade routes but also escort duties and long-range armed reconnaissance.
The Jackal incorporates only two laser cannons as primary armament, but these are significantly more powerful than the equivalent Federation small craft utilise.
Built around the use of the new UCS Galaxy Explorer windscreen element, the pleasingly wedge-shaped Blacktron command shuttle is a hefty brick of a ship, surprisingly underarmed for a Blacktron vessel but carrying more weapons than the equivalent Federation commanders' runabouts.
Built off one of the Speed Racers chassis elements, I'm pleased with how seamlessly the sides and roof elements fit together.
