The Scythe is a long-range, high altitude fighter designed primarily for covert reconnaissance. The aerodynamic profile and drop tanks allow it to cover incredible distances and collect high-detail map imagery. It is armed with light strike missiles that can be used in self-defense or in precision attacks against valuable targets.
Inspired by some of the Gamilan designs from the excellent anime Space Battleship Yamato 2099.

A Bristol F2 Fighter at the Aerospace Museum in the Bristol suburb of Filton. It was produced during the First World War where it proved it could hold its own against opposing fighters and when the war was over it became the RAF's standard army cooperation machine. The designer of the aircraft was Frank Barnwell.
First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
The USMF's elite pilots (those given the rank of Paladin) are a tough breed whose exploits are well known across the galaxy. Though qualified on a wide array of different craft (including ones not used by the USMF) most Paladins operate solo or in small groups; often great distances from allied bases or capital ships and thus have found great use in one-man fighter craft with FTL capability.
Miniaturizing FTL jump drives is a complex and costly process, but the benefits of a faster-than-light starfighter are numerous. For years, the USMF Paladins utilized the AX-20 "Katana" in this role. While a sturdy and fast ship, the Katana's production foundry was completely destroyed in the beginning stages of the Dimension Wars, and as such, it's service numbers dwindled further from the already small amount (in comparison to non-FTL fighters in the fleet).
Starcom Solution's answered the call for a "faster-than-light jack of all trades" by introducing the "Tekkan" (a name of Japanese origin inspired by its spiritual predecessor "Katana"). Starcom Solutions, living up to it's name, conquered the complex issue of small FTL jump drives with a unique solution; the drive systems were built at the capital ship shipyards on Saturn and then shipped to Neptune where quantum technology was used to shrink the units down to a smaller size.
Impressed by the originality of Starcom Solutions' engineering prowess, the USMF quickly requested a Tekkan for immediate trial runs. The first Tekkan produced (which was painted red with white markings as tribute to the Katana) passed its tests with flying colors (no pun intended) and was assigned to Paladin Kira Janus.
The Tekkan features twin heavy repeating lasers (much like those found on Hyperius Industries' "Scorpion"-class heavy fighter) and twin "Mjölnir"-type lightning cannons, which fire thunderous bolts of energy across great distances. These weapons pack quite the punch and require no ammunition, but require a great amount of charge time. If safety protocols are bypassed, the capacitor banks can overcharge and result in a devastating chain reaction.
Due to increasing threats from the NHE, the UAR unveils a new jet fighter dubbed the "Hellcat (حطموك)"
This comes shortly after the United Arabian Republic drafted 160,000 soldiers as a precaution for rising tensions in the area.
This plane is in mass production and the UAR is expected to have 500 units produced by the end of this month.
Name: UAR Hellcat
Wingspan: 18 meters
Top Speed: 1,350 mph
Developer: Admallah Industrial

Comments and faves appreciated, feedback is welcome as always!
Originally started as a commissioned build for BrickVault, but ended up being a complete redesign of an older MOC. The model is scaled up to fit a minifig inside and still have that spherical-ish design of older 2014 design.
In addition, I have created instructions available at BrickVault: www.youtube.com/watch?v=webxi_LxdIA
VENGANZA awacs belongs to the GUERNICA space carrier. The dark orange (38) wings distinguish it from the regular ESCUADRA 26 space fighter using the bright orange (106).
My version of Ryan Wood's fighter for the Starfighter Telephone Game. Check out the .gif of the wing animation below.
Redesigned version of the Republic Fighter Tank. More organic looking, beefier engines for speed, better cockpit visibility. I've kept the épée parts as antennas from set 75342 but angled them back. More pictures to follow.
I'm not hiding it, this is a fighter design I adore. It works in any medium, from Lego to various scale models and even graphic silhouettes like the one in this poster.
A little over a year ago I made some Star Wars spaceship posters (album here), some with Lego, some with scale models. I added two more Lego posters to the series.
I will have to see if we have more of these models as I think they make swell subjects for things like this.
The TIE Fighter is such an iconic starfighter from the Star Wars universe I just had to build with LEGO bricks. There are some excellent TIE fighter designs in the AFOL community. I especially like Jerac’s TIE Fighter which inspired me to build a version of my own. I started from scratch using blueprints, screenshots from the movies and pictures of scale models. Obviously I also incorporated some of Jerac's ideas like the brick-build wings and the use of dome bricks for the round cockpit.
The iconic silhouette of the X-wing fighter is something we recognize immediately, it is an astonishing little fighter. When the wings, or "s-foils", opened in Star Wars for the first time, we knew they meant business.
I was profoundly delighted when I saw the new X-wing fighter from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is a beautiful update to the original design. I call the new fighter "Stiletto" because of how the wings open. It looks mean!
A little over a year ago I made some Star Wars spaceship posters (album here), some with Lego, some with scale models. I added two more Lego posters to the series a few days ago. I add another one to the lot.
With this new one I am definitively stepping away from the strict top view design. The Lego X-wing has many gaps looking at it from the top, I wanted to see if another angle would be more interesting. I tried an old image from March 2013 and it looked good enough so I just kept that.
VL-400 Quimera
The Vila Disparador VL-400 “Quimera” is a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet multi-role strike fighter originally developed for the Imperial Lego Air Force to replace the Freelancer fighter/interceptor. Fast, agile and extremely maneuverable, the Quimera was also operated by the Imperial Lego Naval Aviation, usually from the 130 000 tons Imperial Aircraft carriers.
The plane is considered today the very first “Strike Fighter” operated by the Lego nation, the project evolving from a high-speed interceptor into a fully multi-role capable (for both ground attack and air-to-air missions) fighter.
Featuring the highly advanced R-323 long-range radar, the Quimera was the first plane to employ the Fire-Dragon Air-to-air missile in combat and for many years was also the only fighter capable of firing 4 individual missiles against four different targets at the same time.
The Quimera nine weapons stations (including a small internal bomb bay) had a capacity for up to 8500kg of various weapons, including ground attack guided and unguided missiles or bombs, rockets, air-to-air missiles and other stores. Two 30mm ENA-60 auto-cannons are also carried on the sides of the frontal landing gear.
Despite the dimensions and heavy weight of the fighter, the very powerful V-475 jet engine and the variable geometry wings allows it to achieve a maximum speed of Mach 2.7, with four Firedragon missiles under the fuselage. To help maintain the control at those very high speeds, two movable fins deploy under the fuselage once the plane retracts his wings.
As soon as the Quimera entered service, it started to replace the older but still highly effective “Freelancer” fighter. Pilots found the new aircraft as docile as the previous one, thanks to the new wings and the advanced avionics. Before the Quimera, to perform a certain special role (like Wild Weasel), it was necessary to build a completely new plane for that role or to modify extensively an existing one. The VL-400 was the first multi-role plane, being capable of perform different missions without extensive modifications. On that role, it survived until the VL-27 Flanker fighter appeared.

The Warp Wing Fighter is a set (6915) from the UFO theme released in 1997. I always thought it looks remotely like an X-wing from the Star Wars Universe. The ‘Redesign a set’ competition on Dutch LEGO User Group Lowlug is the perfect opportunity to build a new Warp Wing Fighter with working X-wing’s S-foils.

I'll be heading out with the band for some dates on their European tour which starts Tomorrow! Looking forward to meeting some cool people and getting some more shots when I join the tour!
Short-range starfighter thing, I suppose. Couldn't decide on a color scheme.

I never thought I'd see one of these, let alone see one drive. This is a car with a lot of presence. A whole lot of it. I got a few shots of this car (none very good) but just seeing it was enough for me.
...Scientists were not able to give a distinctive explanation of this phenomenon. It is known that appearance of Delleh's mirages is spontaneous and depends neither on a specific geographical position, nor on the day part.
It should be mentioned that the possibility of appearance is stronger in sparsely populated regions, on abandoned territories and wastes. However, cases of mirages in densely populated areas were recorded as well...

I was coming back to this place again and again trying to capture a new phantom. I had a long time wandering through the Buninskaya valley on the outskirts of Moscow.
I felt I will be lucky that day and kept searching systematically, trying not to pay attention to the bitter cold.
Delleh's Mirage appeared around 2 pm when I was already chilled to the bone.
This time it was a flying warship. I think if the fighter could be real, its repulsor system or something like had been damaged, and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing...
Despite severe frost in that late night it was still possible to encounter people in the streets. The shot was made a moment before on the road next to the ravine exactly opposite the spot where I stood appeared half-drunk hobo pushing a stolen from the nearest supermarket trolley filled with unremarkable stuff. When he saw me he shouted in a characteristic hoarse manner: "Uuh! Wut are you.. shoo..ting here!?" Apparently, he decided the photographer had been waiting to take a picture of him. But I just silently pointed at the bottom of the ravine. He came closer and looked down. Phantom gradually dissolved in the frosty air. I bet I heard him cursing the booze he had been drinking ...

... Ученые не могут дать четкое объяснение природe возникновения данного феномена. Известно лишь, что появление миражей Дельлеха спонтанно, не связано с конкретной географической зоной и не зависит от времени суток. Отмечается, что вероятность их появления выше в безлюдных местах, на заброшенных территориях и пустырях. Однако фиксировались случаи появления фантомов и в густонаселенных городских районах...

Я возвращался на это место снова и снова в надежде запечатлеть очередной фантом. Приходилось подолгу бродить по Бунинской лощине на окраине Москвы.
В тот день я чувствовал, что мне повезет и методично продолжал поиски, стараясь не обращать внимание на сильный мороз.
Мираж Дельлеха появился примерно около двух часов ночи, когда я уже промерз до мозга костей.
На этот раз я сумел запечатлеть фантом некоего летающего боевого корабля. Сложилось впечатление, что будь истребитель реальным, у него могла повредиться система репульсора или что-то вроде нее и пилот вынужден был совершить аварийную посадку...
Даже при сильном морозе в позднюю ночь на улице еще можно было встретить людей. Кадр был сделан за мгновение до того, как на дорогу рядом с оврагом ровно напротив того места, где стоял я, вышел полупьяный бродяга, толкая впереди себя тележку из ближайшего супермаркета, заполненную непримечательным хламом. Увидев меня, он крикнул характерным хриплым голосом: "Ээ! Ч-че ты тут... ф..фото... гра..ффируешь?" Видимо, решил, будто фотограф специально ждал появления его персоны. Но я лишь молча указал рукой на дно оврага. Он подошел поближе и глянул вниз. Фантом постепенно растворялся в морозном воздухе. Мне послышалось, что мужичок сквозь бороду проклинал пойло, употребленное им в этот день...
The Scaevola was used to highlight large enemy cruisers or space stations. Once the fighter marked it's target it had to quickly evade detection and return to it's main force. The marked targets would be highly vulnerable to torpedoes or artillery fire.
I designed this with playability in mind, the cockpit opens up by pulling the rear thruster.
Credit for the marker gun goes to Jehkay.
