The 1994 set "Saucer Scout" was one of those simplistic sets I remember as an 11 year old that caught my eye, even though it wasn't the bid robot, or the even bigger robot, or the big saucer thingy.
Lego Space in 1994 was in an odd transition from the "Classic" era to the weird Insectoids, UFO, and Exploriens stuff. Spyrius/Unitron was the last real hurrah before the weirder stuff, and I lost interest (until Star wars.)
The Mk 5 Saucer Scout was a project that largely built itself quickly as a tribute to what was, and what could be with new bricks available today. I sought to honor the original while giving it new life and elegance with our modern bricks. Enjoy!
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?

I've put the classic space livery on a 917LH...and i got it.
Benny can now go to Le Mans with class!
i have a newfound love of the space guys after working on the Exo Suit. love that Classic Space logo on his shoulder. and how awesome is that razor stubble?!
It was the year 1979 when LEGO launched one of the sets that became among the most iconic in the AFOL world: the 928 set.
The Classic Space theme was launched just a year earlier in 1978 and this set became a legend because it represented the most beautiful and largest spaceship in the entire fleet. It is incredible to think of the success that this set of only 338 pieces has had if we compare it to those on sale today, but in those days we were children who dreamed of having this box and our best memories are linked to it.
In '79 I was just 5 years old and I have never been able to have this box, too expensive for my parents, but I have always dreamed of it looking at it in the catalogs. Finally as an adult I looked for it and managed to buy it!
All this premise was used to introduce my new work: the Galaxy Explorer SDR-926! This year I am 10 years old as AFOL and I thought about making mocs that have a special meaning for me. The first of these was the desire to make a spaceship of some importance! SDR-926 wants to be a tribute to the 928 but with very different characteristics and numbers. Number 926 represents the birth of my daughter. The spaceship measures 85 x 75 x 21 cm and is made up of almost 4600 pieces! It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.
Thank you for watching!

I'll be replacing the bonnet (or 'hood' if you prefer) with one of these. They're quite rare in blue.
A "small" outbuilding from Jeff McClain's interpretation of "LL928 Comes Home" by Wolf Leews. The original is way too greebly, uses non-production colors, mixes obsolete and modern parts, and has a fixed (dummy) hatch.
This redesign solves all those problems. The hatch is from my previous post, but with only one door instead of a full airlock due to size restrictions. The larger building from "LL928 Comes Home" is coming soon. It will feature the full airlock.

The mainstay of the Unitron's Volunteer Patrol Force, the Star Hawk IV was responsible for sector patrol in the service of peace and harmony.
Sporting lasers, missiles, and disintegrators, the Star Hawk was deadly to any and all enemies to peace by annihilating said enemies by unequal force of arms. And if all else failed, the blistering speed allowed the Unitron pilot to flee when they found themselves outgunned.
*Note: This was built in 2021 as part of my Neo-Classic Space builds. In my world, Unitron was a volunteer force, and generally inept, balanced out by the able M:Tron force.
I have some more of these girder wings laying around, but only had instructions for these five fighters.

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.
I started a series back in 2018, called Flipover Series. It consist of 3 flipover rovers which have 2 different completely usable sides. The 3 rovers commemorate 6 eras of the old space themes.
This is the first one in the Classic Space / Futuron theme. It's the smallest one. It has the old lego light system.
On the Classic Space side you can access the battery. and can pack cargo on the back, and it's got lights for visibility.
On the Futuron side you have seats for 6 minifigs, 3 cannons and a small compartment for tools.
The cockpit can be rotated with a knob on the back.
Also the rover has 4 wheel steering with a knob in the back for steering. as well.
