With the Basilisk starfighter, I wanted to try some weapons/loadout variants, like in a SHMUP. This is the level VIII, the weapons on the ship are the same as level VI, the gun drones are retained, and a shield drone is added in front. The one in the original photos looks like it will be level 5. This is the final upgrade I've built, and the last that I had ideas for.
Space Panic

Command Base Beta I
Display made for the french convention "Brick à Dole" 2017. The V2 with a new part "Starship Troopers" was presented to the french convention "Let\'s Go" 2018 in Schiltigheim.
This MOC is a collaborative diorama created with my friend Sweetsha & N3rik.
On this diorama we find the new theme Space Lego but also the Classic Space Lego.
It is intentionally ultra colored, it gives a side very fun :)
There are also many references to the great films of SF, pop culture and it\'s full of humor.
Obviously nothing will happen as planned, Space is going to shit. ^^
Designation: B6816-1
Function: Establish Research Facilities within Orion's Belt
Log entry 274:
Day 31 within solar system Alnilam, the yielding of crystals has proven to be difficult. Despite base positioning being in optimal parameters for extraction, the crust of the planet has led to great degradation on the equipment. It is comprised of a new mineral with a high density. One that could not have been scanned accurately from orbital data. Battery reserves are still optimum for a few years on minimum power usage until the raw power crystals are extracted.
--End Log--
It was the year 1979 when LEGO launched one of the sets that became among the most iconic in the AFOL world: the 928 set.
The Classic Space theme was launched just a year earlier in 1978 and this set became a legend because it represented the most beautiful and largest spaceship in the entire fleet. It is incredible to think of the success that this set of only 338 pieces has had if we compare it to those on sale today, but in those days we were children who dreamed of having this box and our best memories are linked to it.
In '79 I was just 5 years old and I have never been able to have this box, too expensive for my parents, but I have always dreamed of it looking at it in the catalogs. Finally as an adult I looked for it and managed to buy it!
All this premise was used to introduce my new work: the Galaxy Explorer SDR-926! This year I am 10 years old as AFOL and I thought about making mocs that have a special meaning for me. The first of these was the desire to make a spaceship of some importance! SDR-926 wants to be a tribute to the 928 but with very different characteristics and numbers. Number 926 represents the birth of my daughter. The spaceship measures 85 x 75 x 21 cm and is made up of almost 4600 pieces! It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.
Thank you for watching!

With the Basilisk starfighter, I wanted to try some weapons/loadout variants, like in a SHMUP. This is the level VII, the weapons on the ship are the same as level VI, but it is now accompanied by drones with additional weapons. The one in the original photos looks like it will be level 5. More upgrades to come!
I liked the Flying Fish spaceship by LeggoCMG and I had fun coloring it with the Classic Space colors.
A personal favorite of mine to redesign. Enjoy, and support the link to bring back Classic Lego Space! ideas.lego.com/projects/593592ef-5da6-4a2a-9422-a17e0f8438ea
"Through a Mirror Darkly."
After the Terran Empire conquered the Klingon Federation, Warp-Ship scientists and designers took on the Federation's workhorse ship and adapted it to "Earther" ways. With warp nacelles embedded into the wings, this ship design seemed to the Terran Empire to encompass the best of both types of designs.
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.
Built by Nick Kappatos and myself for BrickFair VA, 2021. The landing pad and roadway components were modular in nature, with the hope of expanding and rearranging over time.
I work as the Senior Technical Illustrator at a satellite and spacecraft manufacturer called Maxar in Palo Alto, CA. You probably have seen many of the satellites and spacecraft I have worked on in the news or have been launched by SpaceX and other launch providers (you can see some of what I have done that is publicly available at www.stevenwhoward.com). Most of the earth images you see in the news are provided by Maxar spacecraft. I have literally drawn and animated thousands of satellite and spacecraft drawings and videos these past 8+ years for commercial customers, to NASA, and others.
I have been extra busy supporting my team and am thankful I have a job and can work from home during these days. Some of my own teammates have to still work on site like @german_buenrostro_photography and I want to thank them for the hard work they are doing and for all the extra precautions they have to take each day to remain healthy and safe and keep the rest of our team safe. Our business not only deals with commercial spacecraft but we also support government spacecraft so our business is considered essential during these times.
Using what Lego I had at home I made a small geo satellite and a mini-fig scale earth-observation spacecraft on a dolly being tested, both similar to the satellites we manufacture.
Our company @maxartechnologies works hard to keep many of the services you enjoy that rely on spacecraft going. A special thanks to all of you at Maxar, NASA, JPL, and other space businesses for keeping up the hard work during these trying times.

The XL-15 enters the LEGO City!
This set wouldn’t have been on my radar if it wasn’t for the buzz about the Lightyear film’s director being AFOL Angus MacLane (check out his builds on Flickr!).
Evidently, he pushed for the in-film design to have a yellow transparent canopy, reminiscent of the Classic Space elements.
He also had an interesting spot on LEGOCon, worth a check out.
The build of this one and a cat seater spaceship is substantial! As a medium sized ship it checks most boxes for me: fits all accessories, swoosh-ability is there, has mobile base in form of laptop (stretch), and droid in the Catbot (also stretch). No escape pod/rover, which loses some points when compared to the medium builds of my ‘90s childhood.
But the elements and connections this set brings to the table blow anything from my childhood away. There are a few elements that are super obscure.
Color scheme for the spaceship is great, can’t miss with light blue, white, and black with that yellow canopy.
Also bonus points for extra head/hair elements for minifigs.
Less stellar for me were the minifigs. Buzz looks pretty good, but I’d prefer the dome over a normal helmet (I’m sure that’s a movie plot detail). The other figs have nice printing, but are pretty mute brown, like something out of a Star Wars set.
The shoulder pauldrons for all of them are cumbersome to range of motion.
The rocket launcher build doesn’t really work out to be held, but I do appreciate the built up weapon/scanning accessories.
Very nice set, strong suggest for the building experience and MOC possibilities!
I left off the red stripes off the wings. Does it look cleaner? Worse? Let me know
I’ll be looking at more contemporary LEGO sets that are bringing back Classic Space soon!

6984 Galactic Mediator - 1992 (Bonus 6887 Allied Avenger - 1991) Brickset 60 years of the LEGO brick competition
This was built for WACKlug's Nexo Knight Fly-in for BrickCon 2017.
The reason it's taken me so long to post is it's the build I'm probably least happy with from the last few years. While there are some areas (head, neck, blast shield) that I came into with a solid vision and am satisfied with the execution of, there are many others that were rushed; hodgepodges of parts that I came at with no plan beyond a vague overall shaping, and didn't feel like taking the time to fix. The underside in particular is painfully embarrassing.
There is one other motorized function not shown: extendable landing gear. However the weight of the final build far exceeds the lifting capacity of 2 XL motors and it's pretty much impossible to demonstrate now.
X1 Freedom Rebel Fighter
The X1 was a Pre-Republic ship lost in time with old markings of a forgotten faction. All grace and dignity were left behind in favor of raw power and functionality. This combat-ready ship's oversized cannons were optimized with its powerful engines for the best obliteration of its enemy. Dogfighting against it was not advisable if you valued your life.
Some say X-Wing was inspired by this relic a long time ago.

LEGO Ideas contest entry: ideas.lego.com/challenges/2d3f47a4-66c9-4f41-92ee-87ccc9f...
My submission to an official LEGO contest to showcase music, futurism, and celebrations – thus, this creation encompasses all three. The Moon Rocks are a far-out cosmic rock band with a hypersonic sound totally out of this world!
This is based off a concept I tinkered with in 2015-2016 which featured a fictional LEGO rock band comprised of astronauts, known as The Highway Stars. Only unlike my previous build which depicted the spaceman band traveling in a flying rocket convertible car, this particular new concept features the band performing on a lunar base.
The ground begins with dark grey bricks to give the rocky appearance, which then has a simple structure of light grey to mimic the look of a space station, and uses numerous pipes and tubes for design effect. On the stage you can see the five members, each wearing outfits reminiscent of classic Space minifigures. The audience is a mix of various spacemen from different eras – including M-Tron, Blacktron, Space Police, Uitron, and even a bunch of Mars Mission green aliens. I started working on this in March 2022 and quickly finished the whole project by the beginning of April.
The stage was originally intended to be designed to resemble a giant boombox with cassette player, but instead I utilized the back wall to have a huge JumboTron screen! There weren't many engineering obstacles since the actual base is rather straightforward, but instead the major challenges were obtaining enough 1x1 plates of the proper colors to make the mosaics. The planet earth mosaic was difficult to map out in Photoshop due to my limitations with blue pieces, and I had to use pinks and lavenders instead.
The latest RogueBricks contest called for speedy spaceships: 'Space Police Tag-Team' required people to pair up in teams of two, one building for the good guys, and one for the baddies.
YgrekLego went with Space Police and I decided to take a look into Blacktron again!
The Blacktron Shapeshifter is a harmless, civil and rusty looking light spaceship. But wait until its firepower is revealed. If you don't look fast enough you won't know what hit you!
This is the second rover in the series and first to have RC controls and thanks to the SBrick, it is controllable from phone.

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!
1997’s Robo Master, the Big One from the bizarre RoboForce sub-theme!
That neon dome! And all the prints! It’s like a better version the Blacktron 2 pods, but it’s on this weird Beast Wars mecha. And it doesn’t detach to fly off. Bummer.
What does detach to fly off is pretty cool for how simplistic it is: a smaller Unitron Star Hawk II (#1789). A set design from another far superior Space sub-theme.
I don’t mean to hate on RoboForce this much, it looks cool, has tons of prints, neon transparent elements, and great minifigs with leg prints and updated helmet sculpts! All of that is awesome!
But why wasn’t this designed as a spacecraft? It would have been among the best. LEGO hadn’t figured out Mechs in ‘97, but they sure have now.
Final thought, what was the tail thing?
A weapon? A ‘robot’? A charger for the spacecraft?

1997’s Robo Raider! Check out this old LEGO Mech from a space sub-theme that I hardly remember!
I was a huge fan of the Space theme through the entirety of the 90’s, and was probably collecting the most LEGO of my childhood around ‘97, but when I came across this sub-theme I have a blind spot.
Exploriens? for sure. Insectoids and UFO? I was all about it. Robo Raiders? Never heard of ‘em.
Enough of my potential forgetful-ness, check out this funky robot.
This whole theme had some pretty rad prints, awesome neon transparent elements, and really cool mini-figs!
More RoboForce and older Space sets to be featured soon!

NeoClassic Space popping up in the Monkie Kid theme with Chang’e Moon Cake Factory
With the build-up to the release of the Galaxy Explorer 2022, I’m looking back at a few builds over the past year that harken back to Classic Space- NeoClassic Space
I’m not necessarily the demographic for this kit, but the neon transparent elements and color scheme caught my eye for MOC potential. When viewing it through the lens of a medium-sized spaceship from early ‘90s, I can appreciate the set as a compelling plaything.
The Bunny Mech, while not meant for minifigs, carries two intended bunny-pilots or a resting minifig. The butt of the ship can pop off to reveal either an energy fuel container or storage for valuables (if not just a microwave in a strange place).
The ship has interesting shaping, especially with the legs, and that great large dome element. Escape pod box gets checked. Stud-shooters are there to good effect as well.
The side-base, a moon cake factory, build is simplistic but charismatic and effective. There is a conveyor belt that might not be captured by my photos, which looks really good for the few elements used.
Simple carrot-rocket and hover-control station/Live-stream station are simple but effective small builds to add to the play value/storytelling.
A funny medium-sized kit with some good MOC potential. What do you think?

I have wanted to build something with teal (aka Dark Turquoise) for a long time. This was my first run. I'd like to use coral as an accent color on a future endeavor, but that will likely have to wait until more parts are available in that color. Got the build done just in time for BrickFair Virginia this year, but not the stickering.
