This is cool. An Italian LEGO magazine has written a blog about my Blacktron SnubBuzzard. It's quite a complimentary blog too. You can find it here, just remember to enable Google's auto translate first (unless you speak Italian of course):

A highly modified S-100 Stringer-class Starfighter by Rees Serifa's engineers.
Named Vengeance after Rees Serifa joined the Rebellion. Having a life support system, hyperdrive, two X-Wing Laser cannons but boosted for a higher fire rate, two mid-frontal laser cannons, and three powerful engines to bring vengeance swiftly to the enemy.
Serifa was a Pirate Leader who lost her crew to the Empire while she was fighting another Pirate group in the outer rim.
While the pirate group the Empire arrived with its forces above Zeffo and destroyed her cruiser with all hands lost.
The arriving Empire forces didn't know about the conflict between the pirate groups, they were sent to Zeffo to pick up artifacts and to do research. Finding the Cruiser there was a surprise, they knew it was owned by pirates so there was no hesitation in destroying it.
The rest of the forces were mostly lost on Zeffo and she had to retreat.
She pledged to avenge her people and destroy the Empire but with her small squadron of only 3 Starfighters and 2 Snubfighters, it was a difficult task to complete.
She looked to recruit people to her cause but since the Empire was putting terror in people's hearts she was having a hard time getting the numbers to rise anywhere.
After continued raids against small pockets of Empire forces her forces dwindled down to 3 Starfighters, her included. Her vengeance started to look weak.
One day she repelled the Empires forces attacking a damaged Rebel Cruiser, the Captain of the Cruiser asked her to escort them back to the Rebel base. The Rebel Commander offered her to join them and so Rees Serifa and her two companions became the famous Death Squadron of the Rebel Forces.
Seeing her team's amazing skills they decided to supply Serifa's companions with two M52X Starfighters. She was given the title Captain of the Death Squadron which put fear into the Empire's Heart every time they so that black and yellowed wings Starfighter.

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 is another custom Spaceship design. I think the light aqua and orange work well together and am proud of the way i was able to incorporate that windscreen piece.
♦ Instructions available at BrickVault ♦
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!
â–º Instructions for the Acclamator are available at BrickVault!
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.
Here's a smaller spaceship I whipped up in recent weeks. I didn't start out using many of the new speed champions wedges/tiles, but they ended up coming in handy for the shaping on this one!

Have a nice day!
The Braised Tucana is a one-person spacecraft intended for, but not limited to, intrasystem travel. The cockpit can be removed to reveal the cramped interior.
This was the second of two spaceships I built for a contest in July 2023.
My biggest Suntron ship !

Thanks for watching ;-)
The ship has a main reactor and 4 secondary ones arranged like a cross.
The main reactor consists of two parts that rotate in opposition to each other.
Butterfly-Class Racing Ship
Wingspan: 102 studs
The Heartlake Horizon is Nova's custom ship in the hit new space-themed Racing game sweeping Heartlake City. Much like how Nova's tough exterior hides an inner sweetness, her ship's aggressive exterior contrasts its harmless function -- the hulking engines enable faster-than-light travel for thrilling races, the forward blasters merely clear space debris from her path without harming other ships, and the protruding brow above the windscreen facilitate a spacious cockpit. The industrial aesthetic was a practical choice - Nova values function over form. Noting the ship's vague resemblance to a butterfly, Nova decked out her ride in orange and black in reference to the Monarch, known for its ability to travel great distances. The colors also reference a tropical sunset - The orange of the sun's rays, the serene blue ocean, the shocking green flash, and the black of the coming night
This model is my first ever contribution to Shiptember, and of course pulls major inspiration from Friendshiptember. It was a daunting yet exciting challenge to build this in a month! The seeds of this design go further back though, I've wanted to use the vinyl sail element on the back wings in a MOC for well over a year, and I've been holding on to the engine intake design since soon after BrickSlopes 2024 (where I got a Stuntz set featuring the orange ramp pieces). The Jack Stone trailer beds are also pieces I've wanted to use for years, since they're so bulky I figured a 100+ stud build would be an appropriate place for them The final push I needed to get on this project was the Durr Burger set, which I got a couple of at Brickslopes 2025 and used their round orange slopes in the engines.
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.
Slicing em and dicing em.
This build was a lot of fun until it turned out to be 11 studs wide. If you want a real challenge try creating symmetry with an 11 stud wide vehicle. It’s a real pain in the neck. But apart from that I’m especially pleased with the fact that the circular saw at the front of this ship actually spins round!
I’m thinking this fleet of Blacktron ships are combat vessels that fight without using guns. So the first one was a giant battering ram while this one just chops up anything in it’s way. Lovely!
Santa is up to a difficult task this Christmas, with gift deliveries far far away...
He managed to borrow the fastest ship in the galaxy, let's put the sleigh on the side and give some rest to the reindeer.
It's time for Santa and his helpers to load the Falcon full of gifts and start for a new Christmas adventure.
May the force be with you!

A sub-atmospheric speeder with some thicc engines. Great for aerial stunts and high-speed racing, but the insurance rates kinda suck.

I made the stickers with office labels and highlighters. Only the best materials.
Pumpkin Fighter Head On
LEGO spaceship MOC. Started off wanting to build a ship for a Space Police 3 baddie but ended up being a smaller, swooshable ship. Many revisions were undertaken before arriving at this finalized version of a Pumpkin Fighter!
Blacktron Tenderizer
Softening up the enemy.
I was playing one of those video games the other day where the main forms of offence are melee weapons. One of the implements of destruction that I picked up was a humble little tenderising hammer. Like the things you use to soften up steaks before cooking them. Which turned out to be a real skull smasher! and which, in turn, gave me an idea for the next ship in my Blacktron fleet. I imagine in battle this poor chap is sent in first so he probably doesn’t have a very long life expectancy.
Fourth and final ship in my Blacktron II fleet. I’ve always loved those big black wheels (got tons of them) and really wanted them integrated into the wings of a ship, the hull shape you see here looks simple but was actually a pain in the butt to create and connect. So let’s give the Volare (latin for Fly) a function…. It has guns, so we’ll say it’s a heavily armed cargo transport. Full fleet shot to follow.
After a LOT of research, imagery and some reworking of the shaping, I have finally come to a version I really like and that is very stable. A few more parts, and I can finish the second wing and attach it to the cockpit section.
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!

Another microscale cruiser made in 2008.
Thanks to Mark Kelso who gave me very good advices on how to build microscale ships !
Designed in a bid with the New republic, these fighter interceptors are new with top of the line avionics. The developing company lost the contract to Kuat’s RZ-2 A wing and went under. Only a few of these craft were produced and they are highly sought after by mercenaries and assassins for their maneuverability and high durability when compared to other pursuit craft.
A never-before-seen creature made an appearance and not even the Aquanauts database can shed light on the alien encounter. ...Are there forgotten neighbors in the Aquazone? ...And does this bode good or ill for the brave explorers?

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).
1992’s Rebel Hunter from Space Police II enters the LEGO City!
Took lots of pictures of this one, had some fun, check it out!
Also known as the Space Police Prisoner Patrol, this medium sized spaceship brings back loads of memories. Two fractions of Space sub-themes are represented here with the Space Police II fig and a Blacktron prisoner, which I really like as a huge fan of Blacktron.
The prisoner’s capsule is a funny little build that looks like it would clamp down on the fig’s feet. I like how these were the standard capsule in the Space Police 2 line and could be used with their other sets.
The ship itself is pretty basic. Uses some large funky elements to add easy bulk and width. I was never a fan of the technic elements being so prominent on the top of the ship, but I love the simple drop-ship action feature! Great transparent dark green elements! Very classic LEGO.
I always figured the green and red modified facets (3x3x2) were the equivalent of police lights, subbing green for blue.
Did you have this set growing up? Like it? Find it problematic?
More ‘90s LEGO sets to be featured soon, including more Space sun-themes!
