While the flights of the RSS Pale Blue Dot and the RSS Mote of Dust provided successful proof of concept that hyperspace travel was possible, their ventures within the Solar system never truly achieved what the final goal was: faster-than-light travel. That honor was reserved for the RSS Hedy Lamarr that embarked on a 4-and-a-half-Month-40-light-years-round trip to the Trappist-1 System (solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/335/10-things-all-about-trappis...) in 2361, gathering a plethora of valuable data during a close flyby.
Behind the scenes:
It did take me forever to build that follow-up on the RSS Pale Blue Dot (flic.kr/s/aHskHoPuG3) and the RSS Mote of Dust (flic.kr/s/aHskUJZMn8). There were a number of attempts and iterations, most were never photographed, some were photographed but remained unpublished.

National Geographic „Deadalus“ Spaceship by Oscar Cafaro
Service, maintenance, space side assistance vehicle. Reverses up to the ship in need and access via the service deck at the rear. Equipped with Multi directional thrusters for precision driving and bash bars for durability and those tough spots in asteroid fields.
The ideal ship for mobile mechanics.
I built this for Jeff Cross in a moc exchange event I participated in end of last year/start of this year. I Forgot to share it here

Here is a baby replica of the latest iteration of the LEGO Galaxy Explorer set 10497. It still has the main play features of the original set just down sized. Pop off canopy, steering wheels, opening rear end with boarding ramp, airlock sliding door and last but not least ride on booster engines!
This was a blast to build. And was inspired by the builds @troublesbricking made while I was travelling Europe. While on holiday I managed to track down this squad of space babies so that when I got as soon as I got back from holiday I could get into building this moc.

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!
Redesign of the ship from 2018.
Based on the design of the Republic spaceships from the Star Wars universe.
Instructions?
Yes, I have.
You can find it here.
This ship is uniquely capable of creating separations in spacetime and opening rifts in the fabric of the universe through which it can travel great distances in an instant.
My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation - independent, free of all weakness. You cannot grasp the nature of our existence
This ship is uniquely capable of creating separations in spacetime and opening rifts in the fabric of the universe through which it can travel great distances in an instant.
This ship was designed as a personal transport ship but customers noticed the potential of a fighter and requested modifications.
The resistance faction asked for modifications to make it as versatile as an X wing.
But other customers requested a highly modified M wing with different engine setups and weapons.
Well no one knows exactly who these people were as the designer of the 5 highly customized ships was found dead in his chambers together with the customer records.
Hope you guys liked it and would love some feedback.

Developed as a long-range exploration vessel sized between its more famous stablemates the LL928 and LL924, the LL926 Cosmos Explorer ended up having less in the way of cargo space in the rear compartment, only able to fit the smallest design of rover available to the Lagrange-Lunacorp designers. Most of the extra space was taken up with fuel storage and crew supplies, giving the Cosmos Explorer the longest unsupplied range of the three vessels.
The lack of cargo capacity made the Cosmos Explorer less versatile than either of the other early LL-type explorer ships, however, and many planetary fleets of the inner system bought only a few of the craft. In the far reaches of the Uranian and Neptunian leagues and the Kuiper Belt Alliance, however, these ultra-long-range craft really came into their own.
~~~
So I was planning to build a sleekened, updated version of the old LL924 Space Transporter, but I think this ended up a bit bigger than that venerable beauty. Not quite up to the LL928, but that might actually be within reach now. Amazing thought.
A Kuat Systems Engineering (KSE) research and reconnaissance vessel. I wanted to design a moc with a somewhat unique base color as well as with some asymmetry as well. I hope y'all like the way it turned out as much as I do!!
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!😎

Goldenstrahl is Falkerepublik's experiment in energy-based weaponry. Although the GS's only weapon is massive and requires an enormous energy draw, it has been proven extremely effective against capital ship hulls and starfighter swarms.
Hier mit dem Superspartaner
Had a lot of fun making these. Tried to keep to the ethics of the spacemen as ‘explorers’ first, but gave them enough armaments to defend themselves if necessary
A main rear thruster with enough power and juice to carry such heavy cargo.
_________________________________
* The rear thruster was the hardest part of this build, but im glad it turned out well. Not a lot of square thrusters these days.
* I have made a couple more new 1x1 custom tiles to download

Build made with Bricklink Studio 2.0 with existing/custom parts and image enhanced and edited in Photoshop.
It was bound to happen. It was always a matter of time.
Amazingly though, I never built an X-Wing before because it seemed so boring and trivial, and now? I can easily put the good old X-Wing among the top three most difficult ships to get right. No surface is parallell to any other. You have to deal with thin wings with nasty understuds. You have a collection of cockpit pieces, out of which each is so fundamentally wrong it messes up the geometry. You need to fit a minifig, and most importantly, solve the opening wing mechanism, which even on studio models was wrong and caused all kinds of problems.
Are you a MOCer? You want a challenge? Make an X-Wing.
You will be surprised.
Also, how do you like mine?
This build is an effect of collaboration with BrickVault and instructions are available at their website, brickvault.toys.
There is also a youtube movie available, showing its quirk and features:

A bee sized nano drone used to infiltrate bee colonies and extract valuable information on their plans to take over the world.
It feels like ages since I made a freestyle spacecraft. I often find myself influenced by insects for some reason and when I saw the City Oceans Mini Sub Lego set (60263) I thought I might be able to make some kind of Viper using it's yellow mid-section. That grew into this bee nano drone. Because.. bees rock!
I might continue this and make a series of insect themed robotic sci-fi craft...

X1 Freedom Rebel Fighter
The X1 was a Pre-Republic ship lost in time with old markings of a forgotten faction. All grace and dignity were left behind in favor of raw power and functionality. This combat-ready ship's oversized cannons were optimized with its powerful engines for the best obliteration of its enemy. Dogfighting against it was not advisable if you valued your life.
Some say X-Wing was inspired by this relic a long time ago.

The Blacktron BLB-7
Superfast long-range bomber-looter. With 2 ridiculously big and strong engines, bomb bay, and cargo space.
Another year, another ship… and a new Digitally Assembled video? Why yes!!
I created 红海 (Hóng Hăi) using the AI tool Midjourney to produce an image to base the design off of.
I worked with my friend and incredible concept artist, Till Freitag, to explore Midjourney and challenge us to create two very unique looking spaceships inspired by Midjourney’s prompt.
Are you curious how we created our designs? Follow the link to check out the video with Till and I on Digitally Assembled: youtu.be/kc8M9Iw9B_0
For those unfamiliar, SHIPtember is an annual LEGO community challenge where a builder must create a spaceship 100+ studs long on the longest axis within 1 months’ time. This is my third SHIPtember. This year was special with the inclusion of Midjourney and collabing with Till. The ship took roughly 62 hrs and was made in Bricklink Studio, Cinema 4D with Arnold, and Photoshop using my Puget Systems machine. Till’s art used Blender and Photoshop.(you can find his version on his and my Instagram page)
Here are my thoughts on my design’s fictional bio:
红海 (Hóng Hăi) is a Chinese deep space radiation research ship launched in the year 3090. It was made by the 太空海军研究会 (The Space Naval Research Society) in 3087 and reached Saturn on May 21st 3090. Its primary mission was to research a strange phenomenon of new unknown forms of radiation occurring near Saturn.
The ship is equipped with a large laser array to study the phenomenon and radiation levels up close. The main “sail” carries billions of sensors to detect various forms of radiation. It hosts a crew of 7 who are well shielded inside the spacecraft when not inside the large rear observation deck. The ship is 632.5 ft tall (192.79 meters). 7 years into its mission findings discovered the unique radiation was caused by The Shell, an alien inter-dimensional artifact discovered by German astronauts in 3093 near Neptune. The purpose of The Shell is yet to be determined but the radiation left in its wake was found to cause disruptions in the fabric of reality wherever it resided. Hóng Hăi’s taikonauts have been recognized for their findings upon return to earth.
The Lego model is 114 studs long (35.8in), 138 studs high (43. 6in), and 87 studs wide (27.3in) and has 7732 pieces.

A highly modified S-100 Stringer-class Starfighter by Rees Serifa's engineers.
Named Vengeance after Rees Serifa joined the Rebellion. Having a life support system, hyperdrive, two X-Wing Laser cannons but boosted for a higher fire rate, two mid-frontal laser cannons, and three powerful engines to bring vengeance swiftly to the enemy.
Serifa was a Pirate Leader who lost her crew to the Empire while she was fighting another Pirate group in the outer rim.
While the pirate group the Empire arrived with its forces above Zeffo and destroyed her cruiser with all hands lost.
The arriving Empire forces didn't know about the conflict between the pirate groups, they were sent to Zeffo to pick up artifacts and to do research. Finding the Cruiser there was a surprise, they knew it was owned by pirates so there was no hesitation in destroying it.
The rest of the forces were mostly lost on Zeffo and she had to retreat.
She pledged to avenge her people and destroy the Empire but with her small squadron of only 3 Starfighters and 2 Snubfighters, it was a difficult task to complete.
She looked to recruit people to her cause but since the Empire was putting terror in people's hearts she was having a hard time getting the numbers to rise anywhere.
After continued raids against small pockets of Empire forces her forces dwindled down to 3 Starfighters, her included. Her vengeance started to look weak.
One day she repelled the Empires forces attacking a damaged Rebel Cruiser, the Captain of the Cruiser asked her to escort them back to the Rebel base. The Rebel Commander offered her to join them and so Rees Serifa and her two companions became the famous Death Squadron of the Rebel Forces.
Seeing her team's amazing skills they decided to supply Serifa's companions with two M52X Starfighters. She was given the title Captain of the Death Squadron which put fear into the Empire's Heart every time they so that black and yellowed wings Starfighter.
One night I got the urge to make a super sleek, open top racer using my 2 favourite colours (black and dark red). I wanted it to be a really dense, compact build with a smooth upper body and badass looking engine chassis underneath. So I did.
Samples secured time to jet! Guns will only slow them down!! A nearby LUNAST cargo freighter responded to the sos call and just in the nick of time too.
