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!

It was bound to happen. It was always a matter of time.
Amazingly though, I never built an X-Wing before because it seemed so boring and trivial, and now? I can easily put the good old X-Wing among the top three most difficult ships to get right. No surface is parallell to any other. You have to deal with thin wings with nasty understuds. You have a collection of cockpit pieces, out of which each is so fundamentally wrong it messes up the geometry. You need to fit a minifig, and most importantly, solve the opening wing mechanism, which even on studio models was wrong and caused all kinds of problems.
Are you a MOCer? You want a challenge? Make an X-Wing.
You will be surprised.
Also, how do you like mine?

Ship - Category 2 CR90 Corvette 'Sheev's Mercy'. The diplomatic ship was the third most important vessel in the ambassador's pool. Skav had been a passenger before, when visiting Hutts hiding beyond Nar Shadaa's gravity well.
Before the bureaucratic chain reaction managed to cancel his clearance, he granted the full crew compliment 6 hours of shore leave. Then he, a depressed Rodian, and an Ugnaught pilot stole the ship, and headed for deep space.
While the flights of the RSS Pale Blue Dot and the RSS Mote of Dust provided successful proof of concept that hyperspace travel was possible, their ventures within the Solar system never truly achieved what the final goal was: faster-than-light travel. That honor was reserved for the RSS Hedy Lamarr that embarked on a 4-and-a-half-Month-40-light-years-round trip to the Trappist-1 System (solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/335/10-things-all-about-trappis...) in 2361, gathering a plethora of valuable data during a close flyby.
Behind the scenes:
It did take me forever to build that follow-up on the RSS Pale Blue Dot (flic.kr/s/aHskHoPuG3) and the RSS Mote of Dust (flic.kr/s/aHskUJZMn8). There were a number of attempts and iterations, most were never photographed, some were photographed but remained unpublished.

X1 Freedom Rebel Fighter
The X1 was a Pre-Republic ship lost in time with old markings of a forgotten faction. All grace and dignity were left behind in favor of raw power and functionality. This combat-ready ship's oversized cannons were optimized with its powerful engines for the best obliteration of its enemy. Dogfighting against it was not advisable if you valued your life.
Some say X-Wing was inspired by this relic a long time ago.

As my exploration of Prequel ships continues, I'm trying to shift my focus to Minifig-scale more, and decided to give a crack at Obi-Wan's sleek Delta-7 from Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
At exactly 400 pieces, this compact and angular ship was full of technical challenges, especially with the constraint of making a proper interior that could accommodate a full Obi-Wan Minifigure without ending up with a bulky design.
Following my "wings must be as thin as possible" philosophy (like the Eta-2), I used a combination of plates & tiles for the outline of the wings, and bricks on their sides for the rest: this resulted in 2-plate thick wings, which give the ship all its slenderness, especially seen from lower angles. At this scale, and given how compact the ship is in-universe, I wanted to respect the slim and sharp look of the original design.
Making a functional cockpit with comfortable space was the most daunting task as I needed to securely attach the fin section and both angled fuselage parts that surround the cockpit without using any vertical space, where Obi-Wan sits. I also managed to incorporate a dashboard that doesn't obstruct the pilot's view and depicts the screen fairly well.
The model features detachable landing gear to be displayed on the ground, as well as a canted stand for a more dynamic pose. The model is very stable overall and perfectly swooshable.

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.
Second of three Vic Vipers for Nnovvember 2010.

This is an approximately 1/44 scale LEGO model of a Frazi class heavy fighter deployed by the Narn regime in the Babylon 5 universe.
Babylon 5 was a good science fiction series from the 1990s which featured a detailed story arc and great characters. There were many interesting ship designs (CGI no models) provided for the Humans and the many aliens species.
This is my second LEGO realization of a ship from Babylon 5 (the first being a Earth Alliance Hyperion class Heavy Cruiser).
The Narns were one of the younger star-faring races who had recently emerged from under the domination by another race, the Centauri. The Narn weapon systems were relatively unsophisticated; nevertheless, they were made quite powerful by the brute force approach as can be seen by the two massive particle beams emitters on either side of the one-Narn cockpit.
The model is 15.5 inches (39.3 cm) long and weighs about 2 pounds (0.9 Kg). The cockpit canopy hinges open; the cockpit provides enough room for a minifig and control panel. I used a dark green color accent for the model; if the LEGO parts had been available in olive green, that would have worked well in replicating the source material. The "C"-like symbols on the side of the hull are made using excess material from a LEGO sticker sheet from an Egyptian themed set.
This was a fun model to build; it gave me a break from all the Detroit architecture models that I have built.
United States Space Force
Formed in December of 2019, the USSF is a branch of the US AIr Force. Although its mission is public knowledge, much of its activity and infrastructure is unknown except to the highest levels of the military and government. With gravity plating being engineered in the 1950's, the only constraint was the quantity of rare earth elements. There had only been several square feet of plating, no more than a standard bath-mat, but enough to prove the technology. Thus the missions to the Moon. Once acquired, designs for a secret fleet of manned ships in permanent orbit would be feasible.
With a crew of five to ten, the latest and most advanced ships are capable of multiple missions. Armed with nuclear and kinetic weapons for terrestrial targets, and phalanx and ship to ship missiles, these ships are both offensive and defensive platforms.
General George J. Stennard was a Union general during the US Civil War. He was in command of the Vermont Brigade at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Vermont Brigade was known for stopping Pickett's Charge, July 3rd, 1863, winning the battle and stopping the invasion of Washington, DC. In spite of the cynicism surrounding the US Space Force, the mission, beginning 1982 as the US Space Command, has been crucial to the US and allied security. Thus, like her namesake, the Stannard and her crew may be the most important ship and soldiers you've never heard of.

A custom blacktron build which I worked a lot on, and one of my most complex spaceship designs
It features a modern cockpit, a cargo bay which can be opened and contains 2 small containers. It’s got a bomb bay too and you can reload the bombs and even release them with a push of a button. Also there is a secret compartment in the ship with a data recorder, and for landings there are landing legs too!😎

This ship is uniquely capable of creating separations in spacetime and opening rifts in the fabric of the universe through which it can travel great distances in an instant.

A little challenge with some friends from the Brickpirate forum !
Very simple : I upload a MOC of a Starfighter, the other builders make their own version, and they'll all upload their work the same day.
Hope you'll like this MOC - and stay tuned for the versions of my friends : F@bz, Lokiloki, Xavier, SpirituInsanum, and Piratecox !
Inspired by some throwback MOCs posted by @mocs_maker @vrillon_transmissions and others, I decided to share a MOC if my own that I made about 6 years ago.
The Ice Planet Frostfang doubles as a long distance explorer carrying a crew of 4 for extended periods or a heavy assault transport carrying up to 11 for combat.

► Instructions for the Venator are available at BrickVault!
The Venator is probably my favorite capital ship in the SW franchise. So what better tribute to this ship than bringing it to life a second time? And since this version will likely be the last, I wanted this build to set a milestone in my work. A proof of my dedication to a spaceship I love so much. Enter the Ultimate Venator-class Star Destroyer!
At almost 7,000 pieces and 85cm (33.4") long, this model is a faithful, screen-accurate replica of the Venator featured in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Neither quite UCS-sized nor Midi-Scale like my Negotiator, it had to be the most refined Venator I could possibly make. I modeled it closely after the source material to capture all the proportions, angles and intricacies of the original design at a reasonable size.
Although this isn't a direct update to my Negotiator but a separate model, the 25% increase in size gave me a lot more wiggle room, opening the door to drastically more complex design choices: fully SNOT wings on both the top and underside, clean tapers and angles, brick-built Open Circle Fleet symbols... although challenging, this intermediate scale offered just enough space to achieve the prop look I strive for.
And the best part is, this model scales perfectly with 2mpaired's Eviscerator ISD. I realized this shortly after settling on the size... the idea of pairing such a beauty with a matching-scale Venator made me even more motivated about this project.
Although it's a pure display model, its sturdy integrated stand makes it easy to handle safely. Lateral hangars can be switched between closed doors and deflector shields for variety. In addition to the classic version, the all-gray variant of the ship is also included for all you Empire addicts.

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.

Developed as a long-range exploration vessel sized between its more famous stablemates the LL928 and LL924, the LL926 Cosmos Explorer ended up having less in the way of cargo space in the rear compartment, only able to fit the smallest design of rover available to the Lagrange-Lunacorp designers. Most of the extra space was taken up with fuel storage and crew supplies, giving the Cosmos Explorer the longest unsupplied range of the three vessels.
The lack of cargo capacity made the Cosmos Explorer less versatile than either of the other early LL-type explorer ships, however, and many planetary fleets of the inner system bought only a few of the craft. In the far reaches of the Uranian and Neptunian leagues and the Kuiper Belt Alliance, however, these ultra-long-range craft really came into their own.
~~~
So I was planning to build a sleekened, updated version of the old LL924 Space Transporter, but I think this ended up a bit bigger than that venerable beauty. Not quite up to the LL928, but that might actually be within reach now. Amazing thought.
I tried out the photorealistic render option in studio 2.0. I used the very high settings at 4k resolution (or 3840x2160 pixels to be specific).
The model itself is the improved version from 2016.

My U-wing V2.0 is officially complete! This ship is one of the best things to come out of the Disney Era of Star Wars and I wanted to do this amazing design justice. I originally created a U-wing Moc ~7 years ago and while it was fine for the time, looking back it has some major issues. New part releases and some greater experience helped me craft my version 2.0.
I'm also excited to announce that INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE at www.brickvault.toys. if you're interested, please feel free to head over there and purchase them so you can also build this for yourself!
I will be posting more of this one as well, so also keep an eye out for that. I hope yall enjoy!

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.
