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!😎

In 1992, a commando unit during the Blacktron Wars was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Lustarvis nebula. Today, still wanted by the Space Federation, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the B-Team!

 

Sorry guys for keeping you on pins and needles! ;-)

 

Mark Wright has been full of mojo lately building huge fleets of Futuron style craft from age-specific parts. One of them, the CS Utility Shuttle reallyMark Wright has been full of mojo lately building huge fleets of Futuron style craft from age-specific parts. One of them, the CS Utility Shuttle really caught my eye with its combo of cool engines and ATV body.

I couldn't resist having a go at a redux build with more modern parts (and a custom screen) and with his permission here's the result.

Thanks Mark!

The story of this asteroid mining spaceship can be read at the model's main Flickr photo.

Well, it's NnoVVember again, and that means Vic Vipers.

 

For once I felt the urge to participate in this monthly challenge; I've built ships with the set of characteristics that define a Vic Viper, but I wouldn't call myself a specialist in them and I seldom feel the urge to build something with those particular constraints during the month of November.

 

LL731 is pretty conventional as Vic Vipers go: two forward prongs, two rear wings, single vertical tail fin. And it's Classic Space because of course it is.

Welcome to Planet Frost

 

Our tour continues...

 

Planet Frost welcomes all creatures great and small no matter where you are from in this vast galaxy. Over there I see a friendly purple spaceman assisting a group of Liliputanians who seem to be a bit lost. Here we all watch out for each other and do our best to help one another.

 

Febrovery 2025 - 12

(those white and red marks indicate mountain trails in Italy)

Named for the green mineral used in the production of its distinctively coloured canopies, the LG-340 was built for raw speed and could deliver incredible thrust in both atmospheric and zero gravity conditions. It became the model for later Federation policing craft when it was discovered that the windshield material was especially resistant to the later neon technologies that the Blacktron had developed. The sealed, detachable pods at the rear were repurposed as holding cells for transporting detainees and prisoners.

 

I finally caved! My first large-scale foray into light bley space building. I won't abandon old grey for the 1979 colour scheme, but thought I would try bley for my second favourite Classic Space colour scheme - grey/trans-green/trans-red highlights - from 1980 and 1985. Had to be a bit clever on the cockpit to match the old style windscreen with appropriately angled parts in bley. I always found it interesting how the colour scheme was recycled into Space Police II livery. Obviously it needed a green Classic Space minifigure as a further link between the two.

Looking to upgrade the ground clearance and suspension on your old, Classic Space era rover? Look no further!

 

This simple conversion kit from Llwyngwril Systems' Vehicle Design Department will transform your old buggy.

 

(N.B. Access ladder not included and wheels may protrude from existing mudguards)

 

I thought that I'd build the sort of thing that I usually build in LDD for Febrovery but in real bricks and not in February.

Figured I would try to make something fun with the recently released micro-figs.

 

Since I really loved the CS-figs, I decided they deserved a little scene. A bit of a challenge to get the scale fairly correct for the truck but pretty happy with the way it ended up :)

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

My first ever Febrovery submission, I enjoyed building something classic(ish) space themed again!

Get a good grip, start the boosters, then Hold On For Dear Life!

Including: cocktail spacedresses, high heels space boots, earrings, zero-g hairdryer, cosmetics, in a nutshell everything a classy woman absolutely needs in space!

A sturdy 4x4 pick-up truck, with an interestingly angled windscreen. I built this in 2023 when I built the Thug 53 and Vic Viper spaceships that use a similar technique but saved it for Febrovery.

  

My entry for the annual Febrovery!

This is the front view, you can see the Vidiyo part I used as a cockpit.

Poor Benny, no one will let him build his spaceship.

Now with added steering and suspension!

This vehicle was totally stolen from Huw Gwilliam's Uggy buggy. I wanted to make a version that my nephew might be able to zoom and crash into skirting boards. Go and see the original here: flic.kr/p/2qLTZxS

The Vehicle Design Department of Llwyngwril Systems had become an incredibly superstitious bunch over the years. Many drivers, passengers and bystanders had been inexplicably maimed or even killed by vehicles created by the Department. Yes, they were often novel, unusual and cutting-edge but never "weird" or "downright dangerous" as so-called "normal people" and "experts" alleged.

 

However, there was absolutely NO WAY, that they would consider publishing an image of a 13-wheeled vehicle on the 13th day of the month. That would be tempting fate far too far.

So here is a shot of the whole hangar. A medical bay with a control tower and a central crane for transporting the med-pods. The Exosuit is a powerloader-version used primarily for assisting when the pods are being moved (and is of course inspired by the awesome work by Peter Reid). I have made two different versions of exosuits as well as a walker. Will be posting pics of them all later on. I have also made instructions for them which will be found for free on the BriXtar-app in a little while.

This is photo from LugPol exhibition in Sępulno, Poland, 2025. This is my part (tiled landscape and MOCs on it + flying spaceship).

The LL-908 was the smallest ship which used the same aerofoil design principles developed for the Galaxy Explorer. Its open cockpit meant that flight beyond the Troposphere was rarely attempted, but its relatively modest manufacture and maintenance costs made it a common and useful Federation Craft.

 

A quick build by my standards (just two sessions!) I just wanted to make the smallest possible craft on the 1979 classic spacecraft blueprint. The nose was created by removing the print from a classic space piece, and then adding a sticker from the Go Brick Me set. In front of that are three pieces that are rather rare in blue! It was also an excuse to use this windscreen piece - I'm working my way through the trans yellow ones. There are two more recolours in trans-yellow coming this summer in a Batman set - a large bubble canopy, and a big angled one.

Visors? Where we're going we don't need visors.

Inspired by j_m_lizard, who was inspired by me... ;)

M:Tron recolour of my original teal Bubble Scout in all its bubbly glory. Now 20% bubblier due to that canopy, and comes with a deluxe attachable/detachable magnet.

 

This is also a Lego Ideas project, so I would really appreciate your vote so that it build might one day become a real boy set!:

Recently I purchased an original artwork from my friend Robin Thompson. Robin draws amazing LEGO art and you can find him on Facebook at Fun Men Press. I had the Classic Spacemen Skeleton art on my counter and had been admiring it for several weeks when I realized it would be the perfect starting point for a collaboration between me and Robin.

I took inspiration from the haunted scene and came up with the idea to build a Classic Space themed moc to expand on the story of the artwork.

 

The Story goes…

 

In 1984 space mission LL 6945 disappeared unexpectedly. Thought to have been sucked into a black hole, all hope of reaching these brave astronauts was lost…until now.

 

Many years later a ghostly broadcast has been picked up by LL 2022 and is just now being transferred to the main screen on the bridge. What message will these astronauts bring back from the other side?

 

The model is lighted with Blinky Bricks lights. www.blinkybricks.com/

  

The orange lights blink thanks to a lifelites eLite kit, but you can't obviously see that in a picture... a movie would be better, and a movie you'll have soon!

Don't worry because now you can (get ready girls and boys)... "Cross that ditch without a hitch!"
