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.

The new #LEGO #DOTS are #AMAZING & with so much more #durability and #clutchpower than I imagined (but certainly hoped for!)
Thank you @BrickmasterAmy and the @LEGO team for designing a cool new #WearableLEGO line, I am so excited to build more #MOCs with these sweet bracelets!
Special thanks to my daughter for helping me with the photos and video!!! She loves the DOTS, too and we have been using them as communicators and wearing them all day!
A MOC I built a few months back but never really posted properly.
This is the Docking ring version, which features an outer-space scene with planets and stars.

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.
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."

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!

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.

It's Thanksgiving week here in the US, so let's build a mech piloted by a roast turkey. Because why not?
The Carver mech is pretty simplistic in construction but it gets the idea across, and uses an accent colour (yellow) that I rarely use outside of NCS bumblebee striping and Blacktron I.

Captain’s Log. Stardate: 1905.08
The energy blast bounced off their scaly hide and had the opposite effect the team was expecting, enraging the creatures. There’s only one thing left to do: run away!

Here's a little random container hauler I built the last couple of days, bit of a doodle I suppose. Not much backstory really, people have stuff they want to move, they stick them in containers and this thing moves them.
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

I like the middle ring and sandwiched "gun on one side, engine on the other" wing sections. The dark grey round sections are stupidly expensive. I had four and broke one of my SHIPtember rules to get more.
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.
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.
“Old Yeller.”
Play Well Series Decayed Minifigure photo 8: Yellow Futuron spaceman. When my parents divorced in 1989, my father tried to win me back in a custody battle by buying for me the largest, most expensive LEGO set available at the time: the electronic Monorail Transport System, which is where I most likely got this minifig (and it probably subconsciously propelled my eventual skill for incorporating electronics into LEGO models)!
This picture had an excessive amount of color editing done in Lightroom, hence its strange appearance. I've also turned up the clarity and sharpness to the max.

I tried a lot of colors but came back to this not so colorful version. I think this is a strong contender for the colors I will use in the next physical version.
The change to the front completes the silhouette (I hope). i already had that done earlier with the physical version but changed it back because other shapes were more dominant at that time. but now i think they fit the concept.

The single-piece wedge I used for the canopy is hollow below and allows enough space for the pilot cabin.
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.
