I'm still stuck down this rabbit hole making a modernised fleet in the style of Blacktron II (primary colours black, white and trans neon green). I’ve got the aesthetic nailed now, tapering wings/engines and curved contours for the whole fleet. So here is ship 3 in what will hopefully be a 4 ship fleet. I reckon... where Typhoon is the fighter, and Crysalis is the bomber, Orca is the groups recon ship.
Second of three Vic Vipers for Nnovvember 2010.
This ship was an attempt to swing the complete other direction from my first Viper this year in colors and form.
This guy was a pain to photograph...
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?

Here we continue our journey exploring the Blacktron II theme with ship 2 in the fleet. The main colours for this line of sets (originally released all the way back in 1991) were black, white and trans neon green. I really don't know if dark grey was also in there, but I also don't care because it is now. :)
1994’s Saucer Centurion from The most excellent Spyrius sub-theme!
The rover drop-ship feature, while super simple, is amazingly effective. Great figs and prints, that console print (not pictured) is one of my favs. And I’m always stoked to get some neon transparent windscreens and antennas in blue!
I loved this medium sized spaceship as a kid, very happy to have it back in my collection now. Hurray for nostalgia lol
More 90’s sets to be featured soon, including another Spyrius Saucer

Kuat model: R24 halberd
Designation: I-wing
The mad engineers at Kuat Systems Engineering took on some of the requests from the newer resistance pilots and applied it to their ace in the hole. The R24 Halberd is a sort of successor to the RZ-2 A-wing.
Pilots took note of the B-wings agility incorporated a more agile body layout with a pivoting cockpit. Centred the engines and increased the amount of directional vanes. Many pilots would joke how the engineers are still just fitting the biggest and fastest engines they could to a chair. Pilots also wished to inflict more damage. So kuat slapped the biggest ion cannon they could fit… more jokes ensued about overcompensating until these I-wings started taking out capital ships while taking minimal damage due to the new found agility.
Due to the larger power draw of the ion canon, its laser cannons were swapped out for smaller faster repeaters that operate off less energy. With how fast and agile the I-wing was, the loss of range in dog fights is negated. I-wings were very demanding of the pilots abilities and not great for drawn out fights. But if you wanted to be an ace pilot in the resistance forever pushing the boundaries of your abilities, this was the starfighter
Happy #starwarsday !
This build was originally started for TJ the Brickwright. I couldn’t finish it in time. But since picking it back up It’s taken me a while to figure out the construction of the nose. I really wanted to get that sharp bladed edge for the nose.
LEGO #6956 M:Tron Stellar Recon Voyager or
Rescue Star Cruiser, from 1990
New video up on YT: youtu.be/oUNsrVnlAKs
Not sure who designed this, but a good chance Jørn Thomsen was involved
Great M:Tron prints. Strange fence lattice elements. Cool ribbed convex corner panel
And loads of space bits and trans neon green

The ring support is made with a couple of 12 tooth black technic gears and four [3839b] pieces that makes a "cage" that blocks the ring using the groove on it
A sub-atmospheric speeder with some thicc engines. Great for aerial stunts and high-speed racing, but the insurance rates kinda suck.

Double feature of 1997’s small droid ships, the V-Wing and Cyber Blaster enter the LEGO City!
These tiny old sets were heavy on cool intricate prints. All about the minifigs here, but the V-Wing has some really fun classic space elements and shaping!
‘97 picks up with leg printing, which hadn’t been seen in a space theme since ‘94s Spyrius droid, Major Kartofski. And we’ll see leg prints on their human counterparts next time I look at RoboForce.
Happy to have both the Techdroids from this theme back in my collection, which Techdroid do you like better- red or blue?

I need to be ok with the fact that i may not finish on time. Epic photos none the less. Needs more greebly bits, and a presentation.
I tried to make it look like it had middle pods like the LAAT on the back, also there is a turret that pops out the back for point defense.
It’s NoVVember so here’s my Vic Viper for 2025 (the first one anyway, might make more). I really wanted to push the futurism with this and make it as sleek and dynamic as possible. I had an idea to have this huge dorsal fin slicing through the rear section of the ship like a blade. It took some head scratching to figure out how to do it with a snot build like this but I'm pretty happy with the result.
Enter 1994’s Saucer Scout to round out my Spyrius collection
This set felt ubiquitous as a kid. I had it, and I’m pretty sure most of my friends did too back then. It’s about as simple yet effective as LEGO can get with a spacecraft!
So for the line that gave my generation the first leg prints, with Major Kartofski, LEGO doesn’t give too much diversity among the Spyrius crew (outside of the Big One).
Enter the Spyrius-verse, anyone?
As a huge fan of Spyrius, I’m very happy to have this little set back in the collection.
More LEGO retro spaceships and rovers to be featured soon!

► Instructions for the Gozanti are available at BrickVault!
Let's start 2025 with yet another Imperial ship! My ever-growing Nanofig-scale collection gets a new model: the very sleek Imperial Gozanti Cruiser from Rebels.
This build was painstakingly modeled to the most accurate reference material I could find. It features all the details of the original design: shield projectors, narrow viewport, symmetrical upper and ventral turrets, sensor array, tapered engines and wings...
The docking clamps on the underside can hold four TIE fighters I made for display, or two of my Midi AT-ATs, which are now updated and fully compatible with the Gozanti. All models are at the same Nanofigure scale.
The very organic shape of the whole upper section required a precise combination of angled panels in order to achieve a continuous, natural curve. This really felt like designing a fish, reproducing that "elongated teardrop" shape.
You'd think making a fish out of Lego was challenging enough... the wings of the ship had to not only be compact but also have a slight inwards taper. On top of that, they had to hold the weight of two AT-ATs. All these things were achieved thanks to a thin and sturdy technic structure.
This build also has detachable landing gear, and comes with two different stands: a short stand, ideal for displaying the Gozanti solely or with TIEs attached, and a beefier, taller stand to show it carrying two AT-ATs in mid-air. Badass.
At 55cm in length and made of about 3,000 parts, it's still a slim model that can fit pretty much anywhere in your Lego room. Once mounted on its tall stand with two AT-ATs though, it becomes a fairly impressive display piece, with more than 5,300 parts in total.

Like a pulsar to the brain. Blacktron fleet, ship 4
The final ship in my 2023 Neo Classic Space/Blacktron fleets. Full group shots of the whole fleet to come.

Here we are! My very first UCS-style model is finally out, and it's a big one: the mighty Acclamator-class assault ship from Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Made of 5,152 pieces, at 72cm (28,4′′) in length, weighing 3,2kg, it's by far my biggest project to date.
This 100% SNOT build was painstakingly modeled to accurate reference material, from exact profile dimensions to surface detail on top and underneath. The underside was also full of geomertic challenges due to its numerous angles and shapes.
I wanted to include essential functionality like detachable landing gear for landed display, and openable hangar doors with boarding ramps that slide down to reach the ground. The ship also features a removable stand, as well as a hidden handle to make switching display modes easier.
In addition to the "standard" version with Republic markings, I also made a "class-II", all-gray version, which comes with its own instructions and parts list.
The Acclamator is technically one of my oldest projects: the initial version of the design was made right after the Torment in 2021, but I eventually shelved it as I wasn't truly satisfied with it. Since then I had so many requests for this ship that the idea of making a new version progressively grew on me, until I took the plunge in late January 2024.
Starting the new design from scratch, I decided to scale it exactly to Martin Latta's fantastic UCCS (Ultimate Collector Series) Venator, which happens to be in ~1/1000 scale. So I hope my Acclamator will, along with Latta's Venator, form the basis of a bigger 1/1000 scale BrickVault Republic fleet in the future!

Arguably, the greatest thing to come out of the Star Wars sequels was the Tie Silencer. A stunning, sleek take on the Tie Interceptor that had way too little screen time. Set 75179, ‘Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter’, was my entry point into this hobby and I’ve kept hold of it all this time. It’s a great set, but I wanted to turn this playset into a display set. So here it is. A complete overhaul and extensive modification of set 75179.
It keeps much of the interior structure from the set but has an entirely new exterior design with numerous details added and lines re-made based on screenshots and highly detailed 3d models (you’re looking at a lot more than just the original set with some tiles stuck on top) It also features completely re-designed wings using new construction methods.
I re-designed the underside and part of the internal structure (with no loss of structural integrity) to incorporate a cavity for the stand to slot into. A modified version of the UCS Batwing stand worked perfectly for this ship. The instructions have also been completely re-designed from scratch.
The ship now weighs in at 1324 pieces, including the stand (the original set is made up of just 630 pieces) 52% of the parts from the original set are used in my modification so if you own the set you would need an extra 1012 pieces to create this mod, plus it’s stand. (Currently those parts can be purchased from Bricklink for about £60).

The Royal Agapanthus is a well-armed starfighter prototype equipped with OOH-RINGS. They make some people go "ooh!" when gazed upon.
This design came together really quickly, being built over two days in April 2023.
A sub-atmospheric speeder with some thicc engines. Great for aerial stunts and high-speed racing, but the insurance rates kinda suck.

If anyone is wondering why I post these screenshots, they all go into a specific album on my Flickr page called Media Scrapbook. It's for me more than anything. Something I'll look back on when I'm an old man. A scrapbook for the digital age I guess!

Caught in a death grip.
This weird looking thing is ship 4 in my melee Blacktron fleet. It’s great for opening up the hulls of passing enemy ships, or giant cans of tuna for the Blacktron space cat.
This might be it for this fleet. It's definitely it for this year. Plus, I think the Neo Classic Space guys will be needing a melee fleet of their own soon..
So there are two stories. the Making of first.
I might have dared Andrea to draw a ship for me and boy did she give me a doozy. Seriously..it was impossible. But come Shiptember, I was up for the challenge. This sucker is 150 studs long and just about 166 or so when transformed. I love me some Pneumatics, and technic engines. Its got lights, trains, air pumps and all that shippy goodness. Greebs to a T.. and a proud artist.
Its a Kris Blade, turned into a ship..
Next, the story of the Six Demons.
