A fun little build. A Fredoichi-inspired fighter with Don Solo's Neo-Ice Planet color scheme.
Enjoy!

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
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.
No instructions planned for this one but I felt it has some techniques worth sharing - Enjoy!

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.
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.

My attempted remake of my original Space Fighter. And it looked kinda like a manta ray while it was rendering so I called it that. Comments appreciated!

All the rebel ships flying around in my photostream need something to shoot at ;) So here’s some target practice!
The imperial TIE fighter is such an iconic ship of Star Wars I just had to recreate it (that and the fact I wanted to play out some dog fights with my X-wing ;). I’ve had the shell of the craft built for a while now, but only recently got around to creating a proper interior. I’m not overly happy with how the interior turned out but at least this thing is finished now :D The model features an opening top hatch, enough room to comfortably fit a minifigure and a rear window.
With the vast number of Lego TIE mocs out there I doubt my design is totally original but I made a great deal of effort to work through my own solutions to design issues I encountered and to avoid just coping others. As such I’m happy to call this ‘my’ TIE fighter ;)
As ever, comments (both positive and polite negatives) are very welcome :D
EDIT: I've done an LDD model of the whole TIE which can be downloaded here: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?s=5332f76633d4d6115c4e...

By the year 2314 Sadjanah Engineering bought the rights to use and build Heraj-tech's bobsleigh in order to make a multi-role interceptor out of the mainframe. Unfortunately, it wasn't the huge success that was expected...
Its flight abilities were fantastic, though it's lack of a large firepower prevent S.E. from signing major contracts with several authorities. Instead it became famous for being used by smugglers and pirates for convoy protection and, ironically, proven itself very efficient.
Well, I'm glad to finally post something. I've moved into a new place, started new studies...
So here it is, a bit of homeworld, a bit blade runner and a bit of dark turquoise because it's always cool. I'm pretty pleased with, partly because it was my first attempt at decals [Nothing fancy though] and I'm happy with the result.
C&C very encouraged as always !
Built to (roughly) the same scale as my latest X-wing. It's a little fragile, but still swooshable!

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.
...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...

During the USMF's return to power as a major faction in the galactic stage, the need for newer and better ships became more and more apparent. The fallout of the Dimension Wars left numerous unexplored pockets of space in its wake and the need to quickly scout these area was of keen importance to the USMF.
Hyperius Industries, a company who had never partnered with the USMF before, found itself in need of clients after their previous big buyers, (the mysterious "Continuum"), were eradicated in the Dimension Wars. The AV-002 was the first of two major contributions to the USMF's evolving fleet.
The "Aquila" is a a long range scout/fighter craft. Though it has very little in the way of shielding, it makes up for it in raw speed. It's light frame only adds to its agility. This is the most heavily armed you'll see an "Aquila" class ship; four light laser cannons. Though options for additional armaments exist, the USMF prefers to leave the role of interceptors, attack ships, and heavy fighters to other crafts in the fleet. The Av-002 is also sold in the civilian market as well, where it enjoys a high degree of notoriety in professional space racing venues.

As this is my first 'real' building instruction for a LEGO model, please feel free to comment, critique and add sugestion about things which are not clear, could be done better or are just plain bad. Thanks in advance!
Venator microspace fighter. My first vertical fighter and my favorite seahawk color scheme. Weather was shitty, so I was unable to go outside and get proper photos, so I hope this will do.
The SD Starbringer is a large fighter with an ample storage area for precious cargo. This makes safe transport easy. With four large lasers, and built in shield generators, most oppressors stand little chance of stopping this formidable foe.
The main dog fighter of the Secessionist army, the Triple Shrike can go toe to toe with any of The Federations fighters.
Well, this was my next entry into FBTB Steam Wars competition, but unfortunately I was eliminated.
My thoughts in making this was one, what Star Wars CIS fighter would look good as Steampunk (and hadn't been done before)? And two, how could I spin it to be different then the normal grey/gold/brown. So I decided to go with traditional steam engines, but with a fighter jet camouflage scheme.
Detail shots should be up later today!

Working on the Modular aspects of the build, went real simple with technic axles. Not happy with the wing mounts, think I will go down to one technic connection and ad detail around it because I’m not liking the flow of the connections. Also want more greebles :)
