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?

Instructions available from Rebrickable at: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-183741/Rubblemaker/tie-silencer-...
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!

The nose of the ship houses an extractable bridge wagon used both for smaller constructions and for joining the preassembled sections.
Based on the general design of 7051 Tripod Invader this Vic Viper in the Alien Conquest theme is my first contribution to NoVVember 2011!
My favourite Lego fansite of them all, Brothers Brick, have written a great blog about my Blacktron Mohawk. I'm super proud of this ship so it was great to see it out there like this.
You can read the blog here and as ever I highly recommend checking their site out for the amazing builders they feature: www.brothers-brick.com/2023/12/13/being-bad-is-all-about-...

A microscale build of the Spaceship Victory from 승리호 (SPACE SWEEPERS).
I started on this project almost immediately after the movie released internationally, and displayed it in August 2021 at BrickFair Virginia.
At the time I started building this, the only available reference for the ship were screenshots, so I opted to leave out the transformation between its two configurations. Now that better images of the ship are available online... I would probably still build it the same way because the reconfiguration system for the engines is absurd.
Pumpkin Fighter Front and Back Angled
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!
Find many mechanical details and trans-dark blue eerie highlights spread into the organic shaping of this massive 6 foot long alien spaceship! The vintage windows are some of my favorite parts in this build, as well as the 2x2 curved sand green slope! Now what if this huge SHIP could FLY...
The awesome Brothers Brick have blogged my latest 2 Blacktron builds. You can find the blog here or just check out their site in general because they're aren't many people as dedicated or passionate about the hobby, or flying the flag for moc makers as these guys are: www.brothers-brick.com/2025/11/23/get-up-close-and-person...
I'll be giving them a full interview very soon so stay tuned for that... if only to see a picture of my grinning mug staring back at you. 😁

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.

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!

First of three Second Vic Viper completed for Nnovvember 20101 (although the last completed).
The Grey Ghost fighter flew for the Confederated Colonies in the great Galactic Civil War. Named after Col. John Singleton Mosby in the American Civil war, this fighter's slim profile and grey powder finish make it extremely hard to spot. Using it's twin rail guns, the Grey Ghost punches holes in armor of capitol ships, and is just sneaky enough to do it! (Just like Mosby)
Fun fact: My mom grew up in the same town Mosby did, so there's a family connection here.

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.
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.
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.
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?

Every project which I made in M-Tron space had wheels, but M-Tron is in space, so it will be nice to have something which can fly ;)
So I am proud to introduce to you my first M-Tron spaceship :) This is small and fast transporter to carry M-Tron containers.

Third of Three Vic Vipers for Nnovvember 2010.
Also, per suggestions I did do some Nnenn-style modding, with tape on the windshield/hinge bricks and a cut/sanded 1x1 brick on the end of the gun to mirror the angle of the gun.
Named after General Grant's nickname the Unconditional Surrender was the Union's response to the Confederacy's "Grey Ghost." Like the Ghost, the U.S. was armed with a weapon designed to pierce the armor on capitol ships.
Fun Fact: I grew up in Grant County, Oregon, named after the Civil War General. It seemed the logical counterpart to John "Grey Ghost" Mosby.
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 ship was a pain to photograph...
