Tronde Shipyard created the MP-1 Liquid Transport after the First Piracy War. The big boom in trade during the Selumm Grande Proclur (the Age of Grand/Great Excellence) period was a time when many shipyards began producing bigger, simpler, and efficient transport vessels. Indeed, practically all of Tronde Shipyards F series fit that description – big and reliable. The MP-1 in particlur is a very simple, modular design. However, this also means many of the vital systems aren’t as highly advanced or effective resulting in slow speed and sluggish maneuverability – nonetheless it is an effective design.
The MP-1 is easily convertible (the MP stands for multipurpose). In fact most MP-1 around today have been converted into grain transport vessels. This versatility, along with some other factors (mainly the big hangar bay) have led to numerous military purchases as support/supply vessels. Of the four-hundred MP-1s that were produced over fifty went to military services.
The Trialsite and five other “sister” ships were bought by the Trynin Empire and reconfigured to hold all manner of supplies from water and foodstuff and can even function as a tanker. Most military MP-1s also received an upgraded weapon and defense system. During the Agronomic War the Trialsite was employed by the Trynin Empire as a support vessel for the 1st Fleet, Left Wing, 4th Battle Group. The Trialsite saw action during the Battle of Varn and was severely crippled as her captain and crew engaged the Almen in the hopes of allowing her battlegroup to escape from the advancing Concero forces. After the war the Trialsite and her sister ships were sold to various shipping companies in favor of Tronde Shipyards future G series transports. Today the Trialsite has the shipping label HG-21 and is in the service of United Lend Shipping. She’s used as a multipurpose supply vessel, transporting overstocked supplies between warehouses on various systems.
All my early build for the "Nipponian Empire." The Vesuvius class is by far the best quality in my opinion, but its also a copy of Ryan Olsen's "Azon Destroyer" so it doesnt really count as an original. My next favourite is the Aluben-class. The Nipponians are supposed to be one of the main "bad guys" in the galaxy, although they are not stronger than everyone else. They place a lot of emphasis on offensive strength and armour, building large, slow capital ships with tons of guns and complement them with small, lightly armoured destroyers, and not a whole lot in between.
Did you get the latest LEGO Architect Series model this past weekend? I did when I built it May 2010. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Battlecruiser Operational!
My build of the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser Hyperion as seen in Starcraft II.
I don't really like the way the stand attaches to the bottom of the ship, but I can't seem to find a better way right now.
Comes in right at the maximum size of 16x16 studs for use in Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit.
The Tiberius class starships (motto: "...to explode new worlds, to seek out and destroy new life...") demonstrate beyond all doubt that Blacktron will appropriate any proven spacecraft design and adapt it for their own nefarious purposes.
With my very limited skills it was quite the challange to make those continuous slopes on either sides of the palace itself. But it turned out better than I expected it. It is a real shame however, that the colours look so strange in these renders...
If you’ve got this year’s City Advent Calendar you may have noticed some of the models, such as the plane & the crane, are representations of real LEGO sets. I thought it a pretty cool idea so here is my own addition: The two current LEGO train sets. (Sorry for poor photo quality!)
Story:
In 2189, a criminal organization has cut down almost all the trees. Only one island, near California, still flourishes as if in another world. On this island lives Count Clorgius, who has retired there to his modern and imaginative castle.
But the "black" organization is approaching and the island is in danger of being destroyed.
The followers of Clorgius are desperately trying to defend the castle and the island...
Hello,
I've built something in microscale for the first time. And I like it.
The black bridge below, if you know what I mean, I also built in matching size to figures, which you can also see in my photostream.
Let me know what you think of it in the comments or leave a fave.
Bye.
A microscale homage to MOC builder Mladen Pejic.
I absolutely love his work. His multipodes are amazing! ^_^
Hope you recognize him! If not, check here.
mini modular3 Grand Emporium Annex
"By success of Grand Emporium, the shop owner made a decision to make the Annex to expand the market for more younger generations. -Bricksville Times-"
(left: Grand Emporium /original #10230, right: the Annex /MOC)
Imagine an ancient fortification taken over and expanded by a dark power.
A study in angles, snot and windowmaking, but really I wanted to build a big fat castle!
I tried to create as much details as I could in this moc, In particular for the front of the building
The Rhino Heavy Assault Mech is used for attacking enemy strongholds. It is fully automated with a sophisticated AI.
Built for the Robo-Mech contest over at LCN
After another week, I've got a main bridge and engine set up I'm happy with. Really finding it helps to 'rough build', ie. tack things into place to see how it looks before going ahead and building for real.
The underside is almost complete now too - but I think it looks better than the top now, so may go back and redo a few things. I'm currently seeing greebles when I close my eyes. I have to get this finished soon...
Huge disparities exist within the universe. Although developed societies travel through space and do myriad amazing things with technology, the individuals and groups on the Galactic Rim have more urgent problems to worry about, and very little cash and tech with with to deal with them.
Colonists on Axila VII needed a craft which could work on the half of the planet made of water, the tiny part made of land and the remainder made of swamp. The Old Earth idea of a hovercraft was just perfect.
The designers of the 'Seadog'-class of craft released the blueprints onto the ExtraNet and it has become exceptionally throughout the Rim. This most proliferated design uses a rear-mounted repulsor-push generator and a hover-cushion made from a alloy-polymer blend. Flexible enough to perform on various terrains, but tough enough not to puncture.
With a minimum crew of two, the second member there to operate the energy turret, the 'Seadog' is an adaptable and affordable solution to terrestrial transport, logistics and often combat.
Length: 14m
Crew: 2 (1 pilot, 1 gunner). Upto 12 passengers.
Manufacturer: Various groups.
Role: Transport, patrol, combat.
Armament: 1 x Anti-Vehicle Cannon (turreted)
Maximum velocity: 81mph
Operational Range: 200 miles.
Veldisfall Land Systems Model E130j Multi-purpose Law Enforcement Platform inside rough sizing box for scale.
The frame is quite wide for a normal 7P scale game, but its height matches well with regular terrain and stations.
Since my lighting setup isn't quite finished, I'm also trying out some novice-level color, hue and brightness correction in this photo.
Finally digitized this creation. It has a few more fixes, namely a more clear interior, folding fins, better guns, and rear landing gear. The arms also move up and down at the shoulder area slightly but I forgot to animate that. There are instructions for this model here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47640/TheRealBeef1213/prowler
here is a animation of the new pods in action: imgur.com/8LIaAfc
For a Reasonably Clever contest
After the interplanetary pirate space war the leaders of the Earth relized they needed a better defense form interplanetary pwnage. Earth set up a number of these defense gird outposts around the globe prepared to defend the planet from cosmic boogeymen and galactic n00bs. This outpost may look like normal buildings but during an invasion they are more than meets the eye. Outpost 55 is equiped with a standard proton beam laser that can knock a space ninja juggernaut battlecrusier out of the sky faster than you can dish out the lolz. This outpost also features a ground-to-air missle launch pad useful for taking out space zombie starfighters.
Sorry for the retarded back story. It felt appropriate. This is my first try at town so some suggestions are welcome.
Here's my attempt at a microscale build of Red Spacecat's USS Saratoga Destroyer.
I didn't have enough bright green cheese, so olive green will have to do. Some details aren't quite right, but its challenging to condense a SHIP into 16 studs long.
This is sized to be compatible with Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit
Microscale really isn't my strongsuit whatsoever...
But was fun trying to make something! I'll have to make some more micro's in the future. This is half of my micro rewards from the last BOBS challenges.
This is Fernq Engineering's second jet fighter, and it's even faster than the first one.
