This started as a spare-parts build, which I then built in Studio and entered in the Ideas GWP contest as the "Blacktron Buzzkill." After that I found parts to build the center module. The yellow canopy came last. It's just about exactly the same length and width as the original set. A TIE fighter pilot and BB-9E astromech droid from Star Wars aren't exactly Blacktron, but I figure they've got enough black-costumed bad guy swagger to do the job.
During the early days of the Civil Space Police, they fielded the Solar Vanguard, a hybrid interceptor/perp transport.
The Solar Vanguard was mostly used on sleepy backwater worlds to apprehend rogue Blacktron agents committing minor offenses such as jay-walking, spitting, and public drunkeness.
Quick, well-armed, and holding an internal single holding cell, this is one Space Police craft not to take lightly.
After reading the Bricket Random Set Of The Day about set 5590 “Whirl and Wheel Super Truck” I had the urge to build the B model and convert it into both Futuron and Classic Space variants. The trans yellow windscreen is a bit shorter, and they don’t make the train doors in Medium Stone Grey, but I think I got pretty close!

The Planetary Cargo Transport is a short range scooter that is able to transport cargo and supplies around the CS base.
A large "Tarantula" space hopper touches down on a Trilobite platform, whilst a late-model 6806 Surface Hopper is refuelled on another pad.
...And a little hover-buggy pops out. Probably for when the rover gets stuck in the lunar dust on account of it's terrible ground clearance!
OK so this is probably not my best build but I love Classic Space and wanted to take part in Febrovery, which I've never done before :)
Switching from the Star Wars theme to the Classic Space theme is easy. Only a few parts and element needs to be switched over.
The Landsport-C comes with a generous outboard O2 tank as standard, able to deliver up to 3 full lunar days of life-support.
Plus, our proprietary state-of-the-art avionics and telemetry package means you'll never get lost on the dark side of the moon!*
*satellite coverage and subscription to LunarTel required.
A self contained Research Base, built on a planet in the cold icy depths of space.
The first floor houses the main access airlock and the lab and bio-dome where the scientists carry out all their experiments.
The second floor houses the habitation block, with bunk beds, a kitchenette and toilet facilities.
The third floor has a store and laundry and a second airlock allowing roof access.
The roof contains all the communication equipment and an observation (or angry) dome.
There are many, many examples on Flickr and Eurobricks of beautifully detailed, realistic airlocks that are just static facades, built for show. The only working airlocks I've seen have simple, square hatches with single hinges.
In an upcoming build, I wanted a nice, detailed, round airlock door with modern parts, inset into the wall, with working hinges.
Here, one version translates out and to the left, modeled after an airline door.
Another version swings out and turns to the left on 3.18-mm bar hinges. This version accommodates an astronaut comfortably in the airlock chamber, but the hinges are fragile.
Another version swings out and turns to the left on Technic pin hinges. This version is more robust, but leaves too little room for the astronaut in the airlock chamber.
If anyone can direct me to similar doors and hinges on existing creations from other builders, I'd be glad to see them. They probably work a lot better than these ideas.
Finished rebuild of "LL928 Comes Home" using only modern parts and with greebling and furnishings that are more to my taste. Pressure doors on large and small base buildings really open, even though they look like they probably don't.
This build wouldn't have been possible without having downloaded from Bricklink's Studio gallery a full digital version of Wolf Leews's original model, since that made it easy to copy-paste some of the details (the large antennas on the roof, the comm tower, and the structural floor of the large base) and generally easy to examine the way the original was built. That download can be found here:

Many pictures of the original can also be found here:
Reconnaissance and Light Class Bomber Starfighter.
The BF-19 The Shrike was developed as freight and cargo spacecraft before modified for military use. Immediately after the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War II, the remaining available which had been developed for service on the long haul galactic handling logistic transportation were ordered to be converted for military use.
Armament :
Double Laser Cannons
Twenty Proton Bombs, Ten in each wings Bombs Compartment.
Crew : One Pilot
Cargo Capacity : 500 Kg.
Consumables : Five Days
Hyperdrive System : Class 1.0
MOC. It doesn't look very good, but it has playability with the supports locking the rocket while in transport mode. They fold down on the sides when it's time to launch. You don't have to break the rocket in half to launch it like in the original design.
There's a fuel hose which meets up with a hole in the rocket. Another pair of arms keeps the rocket from sliding forward, and also have launch warning lights.
The whole thing turns on one of those old 2*3 propeller plates.
1993’s Deep Freeze Defender from Ice Planet 2002 enters the 2022 LEGO City!
It’s a particularly cold winter day today, take a look at this retro ice-themed SPACESHIP!
Honestly, this large spaceship may be my favorite from LEGO’s Space theme. It checks every box for me: Excellent color scheme, detachable base of operations, simple smaller “escape ship”, rover(s), useable interior space, and great action features!
My only critique for this set is that there is no droid, built up or mini-fig. Unless you consider the small satellite/Superlaser a droid? It roughly works in height.
I had this back in the day, super excited to have it back!

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!😎

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!
