The Eagle is a joint venture between Wafna Industries and the people at S.P.A.C.E. and the first of his kind. A Gauntlet Class Mech, the Eagle is the largest Mech to come out of the Wafna labs.
Exploriens: a mid-1990s LEGO Space theme of scientists, intended to be successors to Ice Planet and M:Tron. While those two previous themes were mainly space miners and engineers, the Exploriens were a faction of space paleontologists whose purpose was to scour the astros for alien fossils. A key feature of the Exploriens was their inclusion of special decoder discs made from transparent dishes, which would reveal designs of printed tiles; the tiles contained artwork of fossilized alien bones and eggs. I was a huge fan of these sets, as their vehicle design and color schemes were similar to the 1980s Futurons. And since this theme predated LEGO Group's usage of licensed brands such as Star Wars, I would use Explorien elements to construct replicas of Imperial Star Destroyers and AT-ST walkers!
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

Here is a baby replica of the latest iteration of the LEGO Galaxy Explorer set 10497. It still has the main play features of the original set just down sized. Pop off canopy, steering wheels, opening rear end with boarding ramp, airlock sliding door and last but not least ride on booster engines!
This was a blast to build. And was inspired by the builds @troublesbricking made while I was travelling Europe. While on holiday I managed to track down this squad of space babies so that when I got as soon as I got back from holiday I could get into building this moc.
Here's my entry into the LEGO IDEAS 'Out Of This World Space Builds'.

Wind the handle, Mr Moon will roll his eyes as another spaceship orbits him looking for a place to land… Hooray, we’ve planted our flag! Oh, looks like Mr Moon blew the flag down again.
Please give the video a moment to start!
Space Truckin' 🚀🚛 : The Last Leg
Built for the Iron Forge, preliminary round of Iron Builder 2020. Seed part is Minifig legs (if you don't already know by now).
I've used them in a few spots for this microscale space delivery: cargo, side of space-truck bridge, initial ring x2, construction drones. I found some interesting, though sometimes finnicky, connections for them - including StarWars antennae, & stud shooter hammers.
Enjoy! And good luck to all who are testing their mettle right now, alongside me, at home.
Mech-size spacesuit and minifig-size spacesuit :-D

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

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.

“Third Times a Charm” Vic Viper
Third version of a build that I’ve had around for over 5 years. . .
#vicviper #novvember #lego #afol #legospace #swoosh #legomoc #spaceship #starfighter
My build for FriendSHIPtember - an Exobotany Exploratory Vehicle. These Minidolls are touching down on a Crystalline Comet to research the alien flora.
It was awesome building this alongside my kiddo, who helped me design the weapon rack and crew, as well as some side creations of their own. The Party Bus windscreen seed parts from Moto led to some super functional LEGO Dots straps which also are structurally holding the removable top covers so they can't get lost. A winch in the armory can help lower and raise crew members, and a revolving door separates the control room from the entry area.
Built this last year but just didn’t have a way to photograph it due to its size. The top part flies away as a glider-like craft while the bottom works as a Fire Fighting platform and rescue-raft deployment zone.

I made another thing for my RLUG's (Sacramento Brick Builders) monthly build challenge and am posting early. The challenge was either water adventure or tie-fighter. I combined the 2 with my creation of the Tiekranoplan Heavy Assualt. Although digital, this can be completely made in real life with existing elements. Here is my head cannon for the Star Wars spacecraft: The Tiekranoplan Heavy Assault (TK-HA) was designed by the Empire for under-radar/stealth attack runs on well fortified cities specifically located on water worlds. The TK-HA was designed to fly just a few meters above the water with fierce speed powered by 8 forward heavy ion thrusters creating a sudo-ground effect and 8 rear ion engines with relative stealth and the element of surprise against the adversaries of the Empire.
The TK-HA carries 6 long range neutron missiles, 12 proton depth charges, 2 forward facing laser cannons, 2 wing mounted turbo lasers, a rear gunner with actuated quad laser cannons, and a pilot.
Very few have ever discovered this secretive class of Tie-fighters and the few that have, have often referred to them as the "Emperor's Sea Monsters."

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!

Version B of team X-Force's X&M XF38 Racing speeder for the Galactic Speeder League. More aeroefficient and with plazma engines instead of ionic ones in the initial design.
The Captain where he belongs.
This is my own custom starfighter I built. Partly for fun and partly to play Lego with my daughter. I made it with many parts from childhood as well as some newer pieces I recently purchased.

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.
1991’s Aerial Intruder from the Blacktron II fraction enters the LEGO City!
The ‘Big’ ship from a fan favorite (myself decidedly included) sub-theme is actually not all that big compared to the other Space sub-themes’ flagships. This ship checks the majority of my criteria for what made an excellent spaceship play set as a kid!
Great color scheme and cool large transparent elements?
Blacktron 2 has arguably the best + printed large windshield!
Detachable base with usable interior space?
The center of the ship is large when opened and has an aft storage compartment. While tight when loaded with cargo, great when side-builds are deployed
Dropship/Escape Pod?
Two of the best designed simple ships that deploy from the sides, that are also designed to be compatible with the rest of the sub-theme! So simple and genius
And a bonus jetpack element that is classic
Rover?
Two! Yes, super simple, but very standard for the time.
Action features?
The simple rover launch action definitely suffices.
Droid/Robot?
Not for this faction, but I believe that’s because they were outlaws. Correct me if I’m wrong?
Yes, I’m a really big fan of this old spaceship. Any detractors, like having 5 pilot-able options with only two minifigs can be understood with all their buddies they’d have to break from the Space Police II
This Absolute Classic brings me to the conclusion of my look back at some of my favorite LEGO from the ‘90s. I’m sure I’ll do more shoots with these sets in the future, but I’ve got a ton of contemporary sets to showcase for now and a large MOC in progress.
What did you think of this ship? Did you have it? Does it hold up today?
