With the Basilisk starfighter, I wanted to try some weapons/loadout variants, like in a SHMUP. This is the level IV, high caliber, tri-barrel gatling. The one in the original photos looks like it will be level 5. More upgrades to come!
Wysyłka Striker
A starfighter mainly used to patrol trade routes. Features include retractable landing gear, a rear cargo hatch, and a modular design allowing for multiple configurations.
Built in summer 2021 and displayed at BrickFair Virginia 2021 as part of a series of 3 spaceships. The next time I unpack it I'll take some photos with less blur.
Octan Hypertanker
SHIP Length: 118 Studs
Built for SHIPtember 2025.
My SHIPtember plan this year began with a specific goal. I created pages of sketches to prototype layouts for a microscale SHIP with a full interior, and I had a bucket of transparent purple parts purchased over the previous few months set aside in the hope they would be useful for my plan.... A plan which I completely discarded on August 31st when I found the Skeleton Storage Heads (Large) on clearance at a local shop.
So instead I built a minifig scale, Moonbase compatible Octan fuel transport with zero planning.
Alberich's Decadence is a surveying ship currently crewed by four luckless souls.
A significant portion of the build is modular, built around a triangular hull with a narrow corridor stretching the full length of the ship. The crew can travel between the cockpit, cargo docks, and a sensor control room. Most sections can be swapped around as needed.
This build was assembled in July 2023 as one of two entries for a contest held on Instagram & Discord, and it joins the ranks of builds I finally had time to lightly edit the photos of.
Jumping into the Helix Nebula is a job for incorrigible adventurers. Before launch, it is necessary to check the operation of all ship systems. Even the smallest deviations can lead to unpredictable consequences. Any weak link must be replaced immediately.
It was really fun to play with the light and make those transparent 1x2 tiles glow. It's amazing how interesting to work with shallow depth of field and longer shutter speeds. Absolutely impossible without a remote control.
This control room is the first part of a future MOC that I am currently working on. I really like the new space minifigures.
After I built the inverted color scheme version of this fighter, I caught a bit of a repaint bug. Here's the first of several that I've completed. Dark blue and lime. I've had a WIP SHIP on my build table since before my 11 year old son was born... someday, I'll finish that, too.
The Nomad Class SHIPs are the backbone of the Explorer fleet - Each SHIP can be docked to two others for the long term interstellar travel.
Once at the destination the SHIP can split to explore various planets or two can continue onto their next destination.

So ends my most ambitious SHIPtember efforts ... Rule 1 of Government Spending: why have one, when you can have three, at triple the cost?
I based this build on the wonderful art form Colie Wertz's Nomad Cluster SHIP (www.artstation.com/artwork/mmov) which is a tri-SHIP combo.
Special thanks to wonderful Chris for feedback and early brainstorming, and all the folks in the Space Discord and Instagram people and of course Flickr Folks!
We break-in from your regularly scheduled "Nova Team" photo with something VERY exciting and a VERY long time coming. I've had the absolute thrill, honor and pleasure to work with some LEGO Space community "Titans" from across the pond in the form of Tim Goddard, Peter Reid, Alec Hole and Chris Salt on a really fun and exciting project called I.C.E. Titan. It’s an official prequel story for the I.C.E Team made popular in Tim and Pete's wonderful book called "LEGO Space: Building the Future" If you haven't read it, it’s a must! What's even better? The Brothers Brick has been kind enough to exclusively feature and host our story complete with behind the scenes interviews and a PDF you can download and read. Check it now only at: The Brothers Brick. I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as we had making it!
A CS fuel tanker truck for FebRovery 2022 installment 3. In my personal schematic for minifig suit colours, yellow astronauts are engineering and logistics, so either way this works.
About time I build a classic ship from Star Wars. But I had two goals in mind:
1. Make it perfectly minifig scale, no matter how big or how small.
2. Use the most unconventional LEGO pieces and techniques to get the shapes and proportions without delving into “illegal” territory.
Needless to say, I think I nailed it. Measuring just under 22 studs long, this matches up with the canonical length of 6.9 metres or 21 feet.
As for the parts usage... I think you can see for yourself. There are also some old rare bits that cost me more than I anticipated.
The Federation wasted nothing when processing the minerals, ore and fuels recovered by its massive mining operations. Dangerous by-products were recycled and reformed for other important uses. Even more importantly, many key fuels were exceptionally dangerous if utilised incorrectly, requiring acute physical stability during transit. Transport rovers were fitted with sensitive gyroscopic technologies and extremely responsive suspension for this task.
Here's a fun little build using only current (light bley) parts. I put together instructions too. If you could check them out on Rebrickable and give them a like or comment that would really help them gain visibility! Enjoy!

This is Project Ophanim.
Supporting the Prophet Warriors of the Intergalactic Church with holy supply packages.
Sixth in a series of spaceships built for a Starship Telephone Game. Based on Ivan's Tecum Balam (This was also rendered by Ivan, so big thanks to him!)
The LL-856 Hammerhead was used by the Federation to measure the gravitational and magnetic fields of planets, moons, and planetesimals, revealing vital information about their sub surface structures, composition, and dynamics. The wide hammerhead fins, packed with delicate, encased sensors, facilitated extremely fine spacial resolution in all directions, unimpeded by the main body of the craft.
This build came together very quickly by my standards, after playing around with those bubble cockpits and a blue castle turret. Created in September, and 54 studs long, it's my demi-SHIP. :) The blue turret I first spotted on a nice old neo-classic spaceship by Yvonne Doyle from back in 2008. As the old saying goes, all parts are Space parts!
More shots to come in the next couple of days. Nice to do that Lego Space design speciality, the twin cockpit. It's all old grey of course and the landing gear is functional.

For the sake of completeness, here's my full lineup of Tales of the Space Age. I don't think there will be more in a foreseeable future - I'm very happy with the seven pictures as is and enjoy having them on the wall of my home office.
And just in case you'd like to build some of them, 21340 Tales of the Space Age is still available in LEGO S@H. For the additional ones, you can get the instructions from my Rebrickable page: rebrickable.com/users/john.carter/mocs/
This was a quick 3 day build that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. The cockpit shape is very similar to one I did for Space Jam last year. The angular lines were inspired by Nick Trotta who has some incredible ships!
NFS/no instructions
A new Iron Forge contest was the best excuse for me to actually build a complete MOC for the first time in a year, and the seed parts for the first round (swords in the minifig weapons Bricklink category) gave me the perfect spaceship to build in microscale… one that’s flown by Spike Spiegel!

Third iteration of this ship. Latest changes based on feedback I've received. A little less rough edges. Testing Wicked Brick stand for the first time.
There is nothing like exploring the surface of a previously undiscovered alien planet! Especially when cruising along at not recommended unsafe velocities in one of the Federation's fastest rovers, the Runabout All-Terrain Sport Rover.
Well, that’s at least how Captain Knight feels about it anyway! His copilot on this mission, Commander Sydney Stargazer, hopes her captain doesn't wear out the new rover's accelerator. As it seems to her, he's forgotten where the brake is, or is choosing not to use it. She hasn't decided which one she believes yet.

BTS: The reports of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated! Man it has been a long time since I've post anything! And even longer for something Nova Team related! The last time, I promised I wouldn't be away for very long and well, life got in the way. Work, family, stuff like that and on top of it, I lost my LEGO creativity. I am truly sorry for that. Sure, I've some done work for Blocks Magazine on and off (actually got some stuff to show you, and something new coming out in a future issue) but I lost the drive to build much, come up with new Nova Team adventures and take pictures.
However, its February, or better known as Febrovery! Over the last few weeks I've been scrolling through Flickr enjoying everyone's wonderful rovers and I felt the itch, the unmistakable LEGO itch! I've been siting on 3 little rover builds for a year or so and never gave them the "Nova Team treatment". So, as 11th hour Febrovery entries I'll be posting photos of these rovers over the next few days. I can't wait for your comments!
I'd love to say I'll be able to post a lot from now on. But after these rovers, some Blocks stuff and maybe a few throw backs from old projects never seen here before, that'll be it for a bit. We're about to make big family move, and work is crazier than ever. But with some luck and a lot of hard work, later this year I hope it'll be easier for me to get back into this hobby that I love, start building again and more importantly, have new Nova Team adventures! Thanks always for the comments and support. I've always apricated them.

Meant to post this on Monday to mark the anniversary, but had a migraine so spent whole evening in a dark room avoiding any light. Anyway, here it is.
On November 14th 1971 NASA's Mariner 9 reached Mars, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit another planet. After dust storms that lasted several months following its arrival, the orbiter managed to send back clear pictures of the surface. Mariner 9 successfully returned 7,329 images over the course of its mission, which concluded in October 1972.
The Mariner 9 model is based on a design by phreaddee on Rebrickable and can be downloaded for free, here:

Mars is my creation, which I'm pretty pleased with tbh!
Hey y'all! This is my rendition of the bridge on a Star Destroyer that I built for a collaboration I'm in. It has probably been my most complicated build I've done just because of all the angles and build techniques used, but I hope you all enjoy it! :)
Here is the story line for the build:
"After confirming this was the former Jedi Knight of the mighty Sith Lord, ISB Agent Isaideon Suffson reports to Darth Vader’s commander ship. “Lord Vader, it seems that I have discovered yet another Jedi in the lower levels of Cororsaunt. But it’s not any Jedi my Lord, it’s one of your former apprentices. Caspan. Caspan Tez” “Good work agent, take a squad of your best men to his location and eliminate him as quickly as possible. We do not want want any further trouble.” “As you wish Lord Vader, I will report back on my mission as soon as possible”"

The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope.
Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighing almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version.
With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building.
One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom.
The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer.
The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp.
► Instructions for the Millennium Falcon are available at BrickVault!

So this is a shot that’s been lingering in my Lightroom library from last year and I figured I'd share it with all of you. I know it's been a while since I've posted anything spacey or Nova Team related and I'm really sorry about that - I miss them too!! I've just been so busy with so many things lately, real life stuff and LEGO things - some of which you've seen in the form of the work I've done for Blocks Magazine and other things that have yet to come out yet. However, behind the scenes I have a bunch of new things in the works for new adventures! In the meantime enjoy!

For those who are interested, unfortunately I am unable to sell the Nova Team minifigures or designs due to the use of the "Classic Space" logo which is owned and trademarked by The LEGO Group. My custom designed figures and use of the official "Classic Space" logo is for personal use only in my MOCs and photography. By the same token, I will not give away the design files and source material either. Thank you for understanding! Trust me, if I could legally sell these, I would.
The Epiks - Defense Fighter is MSF's close range starfighter intended for deployment on Capital SHIPs and Space Stations.

A recolour of my Bubble Scout Lego Ideas project.
Though the original designs were pretty solid, I wanted to make one that was ultra stable to prove to myself that it could meet set requirements for strength, without sacrificing the design. I also wanted to try integrating the new grey magnet piece into the body of the model, so that the space cargo could be carried more stably than when I used the train magnet. (I'm not super attached to the magnetic element - any other method of attachment of the space cargo is fine - might do a non magnetic one next). This model can easily survive being dropped (!) and additionally uses the modern helicopter screen that is still in production.

Double crater to be precise. the module is 32x32, but it's surrounded by 10 "blank" 8x16 modules to show how it would look in a larger terrain.
I need a bit more empty space around my moonbase, and a crater does create that space atmosphere.
The crater inside is new dark grey while the rest of the terrain is old dark grey.
