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.
Was lucky to be gifted these 1987 Futuron minifigures at our August Tartan LUG gathering.

This ship is uniquely capable of creating separations in spacetime and opening rifts in the fabric of the universe through which it can travel great distances in an instant.
Kuat Vehicles present a new Galactic Speeder League project together with team Starworks, now racing under the flags of planet Kalevala. Crescentia is an upconvert from previous successful speederbike, KV Crescent. The New model is no longer a bike but a full-fledged unlim landspeeder. It now has two more engines, rear diffuser, closed cockpit, beam wing and evolved aero package.
Builders and Engineers of the Laniakea Galaxy Cluster,
the first week of #Febrovery is almost over and today marks Moment of Unitron Galactics first release. In January this galactic year, corporate Management tasked our finest Engineers with a rather large Moonshot Project. We wanted a somehow fast and reliable way to generate any given Terrain in order to get real Terraforming going.
Altho initial efforts seem to lead to some small victories the search for innovation was hard. Some things only had to be pieced together in the right order, others were only developed for this sole purpose.
Unitron Galactics Terraforming Department wants to share its Workflow with all galactic and terrestrial builders today:
Find the Workflow-Description as well as the Software here:
github.com/Unitron-Galactic/Tools-Workflows/tree/master/T...
With the Release of this Workflow, we also want to share some already build terrains from all over the solar system, to demonstrate its scope.

With the Basilisk starfighter, I wanted to try some weapons/loadout variants, like in a SHMUP. This is the level III, a set of mini/micro missile pods. The one in the original photos looks like it will be level 5. More upgrades to come!
After having returned a few seasons earlier as an engine supplier for BMW and Porsche, Futuron corporation has finally re-established its works team in the Unlim class of the Galactic Speeder League. The new BRS 08 has a giant wing underneath the speeder, two protonic engines and a huge diffuser. But the main feature of the model is its large cockpit with a modern safety cell installed inside.
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.
These classic space minifigs wanted to have some fun so they decided to race. Instructions: rebrickable.com/users/bassdj/mocs/
So this build was started for SHIPtember 2019, but struggled with it a bunch trying to make it a long spaceship (honestly I just didn’t have enough bricks to do it right). After giving up on the idea of building it for SHIPtember 2019, I struggled again because... don’t really know just remember stuggling with the concept of it(I guess if that makes any sense🤔). So time went by and I ended up seeing the categories for SpaceJam 2019 and there was this one called Galaxy Trucker. And that sparked me.
That’s it pretty much how this guy came to be. So seriously building it was started after December 1st.
Unfortunately the name FASE does not mean anything really I just made it up to have something.
The short version of the story is that this is my entry for SpaceJam 2019’s Galaxy Trucker category.
The ship is used by a trade company to ship products across the galaxy. It has a antenna on the top of the command bridge. On the front of the bridge you can find a quad turbo laser, and three single laser cannons on the back of it. On the top after the bridge you can find the energy cells, after that come the generators. The circular cutout with a bit of greeble detailing on the upper half of the ship is the shield generator.
Here's another take on the Basilisk starfighter (I may have mentioned getting hooked on building these). This one was inspired by the La Sirena from Star Trek Picard. I hadn't seen the show, but saw a pic of the ship in an email, and loved the white diagonals on red color scheme. I think this came out well, though maybe photographing it on a white background was a bad call. There's a 1x1 stud spot for greebles on the front of this, and I went through more than a dozen ideas for what to put in that little spot - sometimes, it's the little things.

„What do you mean? 11 Life Signals?! I guess we need to recalibrate your Sensors. You are supposed to analyze atmosphere, soil and overall geodesic mapping!“

Synthwave Lego Shoot
Last year I came across my old Legos so, with nothing else to do, I rebuilt them. Now I have all these Legos around so I've randomly started using them for pictures.
Rocket made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
The theme of the display being the "Space", it was obvious to make a reference to Tintin and his famous rocket.
The 3 heroes. Basically, I took the form, the color, the 3 "legs" of the Tintin rocket.
I voluntarily modified the top of the rocket with a cockpit to get close to the spirit "Lego Space"
Minifigs Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy are relatively faithful to the comic.
One of a number of cold-adapted heavy dropships employed by the ICEPLANET organization, the VX-731 series Nova Valkyrie-class was unique in possessing its own compact hyperdrive, allowing the vessel a degree of operational flexibility unmatched by other ICEPLANET vessels.
Possessing large airfoil control surfaces for in-atmospheric manoeuvring, the Nova Valkyrie does not depend on bulky and expensive counter-gravity equipment - which is notorious for breakdowns in the cryogenic temperatures the ICEPLANET teams work in.

Although the classic Vic Viper is a single-seat starfighter, nothing prevents the design constraints from being used on something else: a hyperspace-capable dropship, for instance, or a cruiser. This pleasantly chonky little ship simply doesn't feel like a fighter to me, so I've decided it's a dropship.
There are some brief descriptions of the new Star Wars The Force Awakens Sets. Here is my thoughts/speculations on what some of them could be:
75102 - TFA Hero Starfighter (89.99 €) I guess this will be the new X-Wing Fighter that has been seen in the teaser trailer.
75103 - TFA Villain Transport (99.99 €) I reckon that this will be the dropship thing that was also shown in the trailer.
75104 - TFA Lead Villain Vehicle (119.99 €) Maybe some sort of star destroyer.
75105 - TFA Hero Vehicle (149.99 €) Almost definitely the Millennium Falcon!!!

I've replaced the three generic smiling faces with more expressive ones, to give Benny's Squad more character depth. Base is Super Sculpey Firm.
I built my little mini shuttle (www.flickr.com/photos/breadman017/48733815836/) but I wouldn't have been happy if I'd left it at that. So I built a booster, and then another booster, and then it turned into a complete launch system. :P
I don't normally do photocomps but I just happened to snap a shot at this angle and it was pretty much begging for it.
More coming later.
The carrier is the largest ship in the fleet, and forms the core of its offensive capabilities. Armed with a laser pulse turret and two point-defense laser turrets, and with a hangar with which it can build and repair fighters, the carrier is a force to be reckoned with.
In the real world, several of the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn (notably Europa, Enceladus and Ganymede) have an interior liquid ocean beneath the surface ice.
So the question is, does LEGO's own ice planet Krysto?
I rather like the idea, so I had to have a crack at building it.
I don't remotely have enough bricks for the sort of minifig-scale creation I'd really like to do, but that's what microbuilds are for.
The subaquatic Ice Planeteers use a variant on the traditional Ice Planet colours of blue, white, black and trans neon orange, replacing the blue with yellow and the trans neon orange with trans red.
Obviously the Krystovian ice crust is particularly thin in this section, but no doubt that helped with the drilling.
I've been doing some design work in a sci-fi setting. When I got to designing starships, I couldn't help myself. There should be three more of these up in the next few days unless I decide to build a bunch more!
At brickvention 2016 we got the public to help us build a giant classic space buggy (set 886)
We used over 550,000 LEGO bricks and ended up with an awesome giant set replica.
Thanks to everyone who helped built it, we hope you had as much fun building it as we did!
Here is a photo of the build team!
