more than one week without pics...I have less time...but I'll try to post at least one or two pics per week
The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
My favourite piece of the build is at the front: the 6x8 black slope, inverted. This was my starting point.
The last addition was the landing gear. Fully retractable would have been nice but at this scale I had to settle for 'easily removable'.
If you like it and want to see it made into an official lego set, please add your support on Lego Ideas:
The Solar-Powered Interstellar Drone for Extraterrestrial Research (S.P.I.D.E.R.) is finally completed at the 'Moonbase Celebration 50'.
With onboard intelligence, a formidable assortment of tools, and unlimited renewable power, this endlessly useful companion is sometimes referred to as 'GRAMPS' - Giant Robotic Assistant & Mobile Power Station (especially by arachnophobic astronauts).
Future missions will be accompanied by these units, to aid in planetoid habitability investigation and geo/bio research. Manipulator arms, coupled with highly advanced sensors allow this drone to examine samples, move debris, haul equipment, and even carry out rescue operations for astronauts in danger.
Fully capable of traversing uneven terrain, and repelling into crevaces with it's winch, this robotic research assistant can go just about anywhere on atmospheric and non-atmospheric terrestrial landscapes.
Prepare to give Space exploration a leg-up (or six!) and take your celestial crew to a whole new level of awesome adventure with a giant (robot) S.P.I.D.E.R. on board!

This MOC has been a journey, developing a seamless transition through System and CCBS/Bionicle elements. With adjustable Greebles to simulate actuators. Fully articulated through each leg, the model is stable, poseable, and quite dynamic (in-environment shots coming soon!).
The features include: adjustable solar arrays, whiskers, and rear hitches, poseable manipulator arms (3), legs with up to 12+ points of articulation each + working shock absorption, opening hatch to reveal central core, storage for a large assortment of space tools, and a working winch (which can support the full weight of the build).
Watch my video for a hands-on with the features: youtu.be/Q3HC0IzGPfc
Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy it!
In this "CASE", MOC stands for Most Obvious Collection of parts. I will make this in real brick, and print stickers for the markings.
Interstellar dust & matter Looking towards the inner spurs of our galaxy, Milkyway, from the wonderful star party at mt Parnon, Sparta 10th National Annual Star Party of Greek Amateur Astronomers Special thanks to the Astronomical Union of Sparta! Banquet of interstellar dust matter and looking at the internal threads of our galaxy somewhere between Centaur Sagittarius, Scutum and Serpens Cauda. The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way. The estimates for its location range from 7.6 to 8.7 kiloparsecs (about 25,000 to 28,000 lightyears) from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. There is strong evidence consistent with the existence of a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. text bit.ly/2bblTJz The main disc of our galaxy has a diameter of 80,000 to 100,000 light-years, the perimeter 250 to 300 000 light years and a thickness of about 1,000 light years. It consists of 200 up to 400 billion stars. If we define a natural scale and assume that the Milky Way has a diameter of 130 km, the solar system would have a length of 2 mm. The Galactic Halo extends over a diameter of 250,000 and 400,000 light years. As reported extensively in the galaxy structure below, new research has shown that the disk extends much more than we thought until last. Officially, since 2005, the Milky Way is now considered to be a large barred spiral galaxy SBbc type the Hubble sequence (small barred spiral helix) with a total mass of 600 to 3,000 billion solar masses (M☉) [5] [6], comprising from 200 to 400,000,000,000 stars. The galactic disk has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light years. The distance of the Sun from the center of the galaxy is estimated at 26,000 light years. The disc is protuberant in the center and symperikleietai from the so-called thick disk. The Sun (and thus the Earth and the Solar System) is quite close to the inner ring of the Arm of Orion, local cloud, at 7,94 ± 0,42 kpc from the Galactic Center. The distance between the local arm and immediately nearest, the Perseus Arm, is of the order of 1 · 1019 m (6.500 light years). The Sun and by extension the solar system, located in what scientists call the Galactic Habitable Zone. The direction of the Sun's path (apix or corymb), refers to the direction of the Sun as it travels in the Galaxy. The general direction of galactic motion of the Sun is near the constellation Hercules, at an angle of approximately 86 degrees from the Galactic Center. The orbit of the Sun in the Galaxy is expected to be approximately elliptical with the addition of influences from the galactic arms and uneven mass distribution. We are currently 1/8 of the track before perigalaxio (the shortest distance from the center of the Milky Way). The solar system takes about 225-250000000 years to complete an orbit (one Galactic Year), so speculation has performed approximately 20-25 orbits during its lifetime. The orbital speed of the Solar System is 217 km / sec, ie. One light-year every 1,400 years, and 1 AU in 8 days.

I was so glad that I was able to see this movie in theaters the day after it came out. It instantly became my favorite movie, and I decided that I wanted to make a Ranger. However, after seeing all the amazing Rangers that others have built, I kind of lost interest for awhile.
It wasn't until the digital release that I decided to try. It's taken me since March to complete this, and I nearly gave up multiple times, but I really wanted a Ranger model in my collection, so I kept with it. Here are the end results. It does have some interior detailing, which was actually easier to do than the exterior. Sadly, I don't have to many Computer panel pieces, so it doesn't have a lot of screen like it does in the movie. Also, one last bit. I tried to scale this based on how big the Endurance is (There is an infographic that shows how big the Endurance -With Rangers- is compared to the U.S. Space Shuttle.) I used that to try and get a rough size for my Ranger model, and while it looks a little large when compared to minifigures, I am quite happy with the results.
Here is a good view of this color. I really like this shade, but unfortunately ILNP does not offer it without the holo specks.
The Interstellar Spark is one piece of Blacktron II technology that is an example of the expression: “If its not broken… don’t fix it!”. With a heavy bulky structure, this ship won’t break a lot of record speeds like its successors, but it is one of the most reliable Vic Vipers in use by the Blacktron II air force.

This small Vic Viper was part of my participation on the New Elementary - 2019 Parts Fest #2.

And here is a small description of the process:
"When I saw the Roof Tile 1x8x3 Deg 25 No 1 in White (6262530|49618) I thought that they would be great to make spaceship wings because of their larger surface areas with fewer lines/unions. Since we are in “Novvember" I decided to make this year’s Vic Viper. Although I wanted to make a cleaner ship, I was able to incorporate some greebling on the wings using the “circular saw” part from the Mini Accessory, No. 11."

Interstellar Overdrive - a psychedelic composition written by Pink Floyd in 1966, which appears on their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn at almost ten minutes in length. An earlier, longer recording, 16:52, can be heard on the soundtrack to the film Tonite Let's All Make Love in London, which was released in the same year.
Interstellar is a fantastic movie. I love the way it explores the depths of time dilation. And the Endurance is a cool unique looking ship.
I saw a lego version of the Ranger in the link below and thought I'd see if I could make one like his. I think it turned out okay. I put and opening hatch on the back and also gave it landing gear.
