Meeting Qlalny from planet Dawharvis, pilot of the NCS "Reckless" and Ayq, his co-pilot / mechanic / weapons expert, practically his factotum.
Qlalny has been a truck driver since always, moving from one job to another, not disdaining the less legal ones. He's not a real smuggler, let's say that for a fair remuneration he can do (almost) everything.
He lost his leg during an attempted assault on his truck, ten years ago; he was carrying two containers full of HDs (Holographic discs) of the first - and last - album by Shaggy Starblast, "The bright side of Khadoon III". If you don't know this singer, just check here:
He doesn't think of this artificial leg as an impairment, on the contrary, as an enhancement of his body. Anyway, since then, he decided to hire a robot, in charge of security and weaponry.
And he met Ayq, a Z5 series droid; they are great friends now, not employer and employee anymore, but partners (did anybody say "in crime"?).
Sometimes they take the long way just to stop by at Al's for a quick hotdog or two (even if I'm not so sure that Ayq really enjoy them).
The Frost Blade Sentry was used to patrol the areas in which Commander Cold and his force was conducting top secret cold fusion research.
Each Frost Blade included 3 mission-specific droids deployable from the underside of the craft.
Made up to be part of Cracker Inc. and Round 7 of the telephone star fighter game!
Can stuff be almost purist? I guess not ;). Tried to keep an oldskool flavour but slipped a little here and there!

The perfect machine for taking a stroll across the surface of the Moon.

I'm calling this the SPARTVS (“Spartus”; “Synergistic Piloted Assault Robot Tactical Victory Suit”). Twin-piloted mechs aren't all that common, but I'm really not too sure why not.
I'm thinking it's some sort of close-quarters battle mech or possibly law enforcement-type.

Lunar MCC (Mobile Command Center) with high visibility of the surroundings thanks to the height of the command module.
This planetary explorer (factory name: “PEX-1ML”) was designed as a mobile base (serving also as a laboratory and an observatory). It has all the necessary equipment to explore terrain of new planets. Its drivetrain and suspension was built to handle very rough terrain, while its body was constructed from materials that can withstand almost any weather conditions.
You can watch a video showcasing all of the functions here: www.flickr.com/photos/186152771@N07/51467442155/
Inspired by “LEGO Movie 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, Spaceship!” set. This is the type of a vehicle Benny would drive on the surface of the planet.
It is remote-controlled via standard Lego Power Functions’ parts.
The 6680 here is also modified (more wheels) and... funkyfied I guess ^^
The 6530 was already very "space", even in its original yellow Town form ^^
Below my latest digital MOC, a modern redesign of the LEGO Classic Space Set 6861 X1 Patrol Craft.
In 2016, I already did a decent attempt by using the snotting technique with slopes (flickr.com/photos/jm_aalen/28102078180/in/dateposted-public/), but when I detected some days ago that there are 2 Monkie Kid Sets that have a 8 x 4 x 2 Windscreen (21849) in Bright-Green, so an non rare, new and affordable Cockpit Window, I decided to redesign the ship again with a closed cockpit. The size has a bit increased now, but maybe you like the MOC however.
This cute space couple is boogieing-down like its 1978!
Behind the Scenes: I was inspired by Lego's more recent tagline for their old classic space line "Lego... In Space Since 1978." And I thought, hmm... 70's... space... SPACE DISCO! Our cute couple is made up of a Classic Space Red Shirt and (my daughter's personal favorite Minifig) Intergalactic Girl from the Series 6 Collectable Minifigures.
I had an interesting time with this one. You ever have a concept in your head that you're in love with, but when you go to execute it, it doesn't turn out the way you expected? That's what happened here with V1 of this photo. I took it yesterday and stared at it all day at work today not able to take my mind off the fact I screwed the whole thing up and I couldn't figure out why. After a quick run and some dinner, I got some re-newed inspiration. I took my daughter and we ran upstairs and I took the whole photo over again going about it much simpler than I did before, I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm also proud to say, that my daughter is the one that pushed the trigger on this very photo and of course I did all the post work ;-)
Space is big ... very big ... so you need a large dish to send and receive messages over vast distances. Or a hyperspace communications system, of course!
Built for the New Elementary Nexagon parts festival. Check out the article for more pictures and details of how I made her.
Classic Space works leading antigravity technology is out on display, sleek angled lines, Dual multidirectional thrusters for a great power to weight ratio, purpose built for speed. Jenny is hoping for some clean and classic racing.
My entry for @bfg_audiophile's #BFzeroG #space #legospace league
I was pondering for a long time on which space theme to build for this. SHIPtember consumed all of my remaining black parts that would have been useful for this. I've had the cockpit idea on my table scraps shelf for a while, waiting to be used. Since I've been trying to work through my WIPs/Table scraps from years past, currently completed at least 2 so far. However i think 7 WIPs have been added on-top of my existing pile... woops. There is just too much fun to be had. Happy building!
I've had this idea for quite some time but only recently decided to actually make it. I went for a "old-pub-pool-table-kind-of-look" since I'm partial to that aesthetic ;)
It's fully functional (made a few videos that can be found on youtube using the link below).

What makes this version a bit more fun (hopefully) is that you can change the minifigures to whatever theme you prefer.
This is showing a neo classic space battle but I also have a few other version coming later (police vs robbers and two different SW-themed versions).
Recenly posted this on LEGO ideas so if you want to support it just follow the link below :)

The Frost Blade Sentry was used to patrol the areas in which Commander Cold and his force was conducting top secret cold fusion research.
Each Frost Blade included 3 mission-specific droids deployable from the underside of the craft.
After attempting to build a small and tidy enough differential bar for the rocker bogie, I gave up and used the internal counter-rotating gear method instead... It's *marginally* functional.
Also: Double CS Wave!

"Command Base" made for the display "Space Panic" at the french convention Brick à Dole 2017.
Refresh of a famous Lego set, a set from my childhood, the "Beta I Command Base" n°6970 #Nostalgie
I kept the overall shape of the base, the idea of radars and interior design but adding a touch of modernity (especially the back side).
View of the interior of the base...
In the base, we find the part "relaxation" and the part "work" as on the original.
On the side "Work" we find the Admiral Ackbar (with his famous replica) and a SpaceMan with my running gag. Indeed, on all the tablets of the display we find "cocks".... Sorry rockets. ^^
On the side "Relax", Adding a kitchen where you can sip a little quiet coffee. (Part modified from original with berths)
New Space Hangar - Area 78
Finally ready. Spaceship based on Nick Trotta's Elfire. "Handplants" seen by Marcel V.
Been a while since my last posting. Just as I was begining this dio just over a week ago I got the call from Jim Raynor, the Zerg were on the move. I had to stop playing until this was finished otherwise it might never have been done.
I have really enjoyed this series of vignettes, and the next collectable minifig range is due in Australian stores next month. I am really not sure if I will do a series for the next lot, only time will tell.
Besides Starcraft 2 I have a mountain of sorting to do, the last 23 (!) postings on my photo stream need to be sorted by colour and type. So I have no plans for anything new for a little while.
I am getting the urge to build big again... I'm thinking either an attempt at a SHIP or a large castle layout - hopefully both.
Thanks to everyone who has followed this series, your comments have kept me going back to the LEGO room. It's been a real challenge building for 16 different personalities.
Till next time
Excellsior!
My Entry for the Eurobricks Summer Faction Festival; The Wolftrons.
The classic castle Wolfpack have made it to space. I've attempted to include aspects of the classic castle and classic space aesthetic.
The Pack Leader is a highly maneuverable scout ship with room for 1 pilot and one wolf. It has biting jaws for some reason.
As per the contest requirements I have;
Two primary colours: Black and Light Grey
Three secondary colours: Red, Brown and Dark Grey
And one transparent color: Red
Hopefully the using both the current and old browns isn't outwith the rules.
Lots of other pictures on my feed and on instagram.
I had a lot of housework to do this week, so I just ordered the XL-15 and Zurg from Target and they sent it on over to my house. It took all week but now it’s here and man is it ever glorious. This new canopy part is magical. It actually looks like it was designed to work in the system. It’s not some weird length. The angled part fits with standard wedge parts. And it’s so nostalgic it almost hurts!
My goodness it’s just beautiful. Hats off to its designer. It deserves to be produced in every color and just slathered lovingly on everything from SPACE to City jets, boats, and cars, to Ninjago and even Castle and Pirate stuff. It’s just that majestic.
I'm going to have to get a bunch.
Intergalactic radio: "We are expecting another cloudless day in space, so put your sun glasses on and have a safe journey!"
The level of implied violence represented by the insectoid minifig is facinating.
No matter what fiction may tell you cybernetics is a very unattractive and painful business - the amount of drugs necessary to keep tissue rejection at bay is enough to make any sane person squeemish for starters, and any PC tech worth their salt will tell you the last thing you want in your head is a CPU... I mean come on people!
