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!

Yet to be equipped with any Weaponry, this Gauntlet class mech is a search and explore unit only. This was a requirement of the people at S.P.A.C.E. as it corresponds with their ongoing mission parameters.

Completed with hipersonic speed and long-range missiles, the Spear2.0 is the highlight of the Space Police spaceships.
Because of its aerodynamic shape and its new generation engine, it is perfect for chases and secret high-dangerous missions.
It is equipped by two completely rotating turrets on the sides, two high-power missiles and two heavy cannons on the front.

A Lego Classic Space lunar base needs a large spaceship, for journeys back to Earth and to asteroids and elsewhere. Here is my first such spaceship, Set 6929, a fairly large set released in 1981, consisting of 242 pieces and one red astronaut minifigure. It has a distinctive shape, between the pilot's cab in the front and the cargo compartment in the back that can carry a tool box. Additionally, its design language, with blue transparent windows and white spoilers, is a step away from the original blue/gray spaceships and their yellow windows that had been introduced in 1978.
Unpacked. Quite a lot of pieces, especially for a Classic Space set. As I assembled the set, I also found that a couple of pieces had significant crack damage; I made sure to place them in areas where they would be unlikely to face further damage.
Set 6870, released in 1981 and consisting of 60 pieces, depicts a one-seat space probe as well as a carrier vehicle for it. A red astronaut minifigure drives the carrier vehicle to a desired location, then hops into the space probe and launches.
This set, part of Lego's highly desirable Space collection, was obtained via an eBay auction in June 2012. It is in generally good shape, even though the minifigure's face needed a bit of scrubbing.
The probe is complete. The gold on the probe's logo is slightly faded, but it is still very serviceable.
1991’s Blacktron II little battle pack, The Two-Pilot Craft. What a name.
This fun little craft is about as basic as it gets. No printed pieces, other than the minifigs, but the weird thing has charm!
Blacktron II is a great space sub-theme with the black, white, and neon green color scheme. Really screams retro LEGO to me.
Acquiring this set was really just to grab a couple more of these minifigs for cheap, but I’m happy with this funny little craft.
More ‘90s LEGO to be featured soon, including more (larger) Blacktron II

Set 6842 depicts a small shuttle. Introduced in 1981, it consists of 46 pieces. I received this from an eBay auction in July 2012, in practically new condition with virtually no play wear; it appears to have been in a grownup's display collection.
The completed set. It looks excellent, especially with the red astronaut minifigure's torso logo completely intact (they fade rather easily).
I built this as a reason for a gun that didn't even make it into the MOC. I also wanted to use the Bionicle Kraata can as a cockpit.
The ship started out more horizontal, with the cockpit long-axis-horizontal on the right, and the missile pod on the left. There was also a large gun array, and a huge bomb that could be attached to the outside of the missile pack. I wanted it to be modular, like a Huey gunship. However, parts conspired against me, and it gradually got smaller and more off-balance until it got stood on its side. There was no going back after that.
I condensed the missile pack, moved the gun, centered the engines, and rebuilt the cockpit. I like it how it is now, even though it has so much SNOT that it really needs a hazmat suit to handle.
Plus, I just wanted to do something with the shoulder pieces.
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.

It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.

I'm calling this color scheme on the Basilisk the "R" or "Type R". I've been seeing this color scheme, or variants on it, show up on a lot of cars. Some are black on gray, without the red, some have a red stripe on black and a variety of main colors (see the "sport" trim on the Subaru Forester). It's a nice look. Funny thing, I tried this with both red fins and black fins, and even though the fins are small, the difference is a dramatic difference in how bright or dark the ship looks overall.

I always thought that set 6883 could have been part of the Ice Planet universe. The predominant blue and white colors but also the use, a satellite transport ... So I tried to modify it a little bit to make it even closer to this universe
