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.
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!)
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!
Choose your own way
Made for Lug'est labyrinth activity.
Entry is fixed by previous builder. The exit is my choice, let's climb to the top.
strangely I've had time to build this weekend.
This little book is inspired by the island of Miyajima
the pics of the inside are further along in my photostream
This is Fernq Engineering's second jet fighter, and it's even faster than the first one.

I tried to create as much details as I could in this moc, In particular for the front of the building
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.
A plateau that could be the remainder of a volcano in the desert, with nice forests on it and an Elven castle.

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.
A microscale Moon Trike built for the Builder's Lounge 10-piece challenge. 10 pieces total, not counting the challenge piece. Looks best on black.
I am hoping to have this done by Saturday for some Microspace gaming. I really felt motivated to build last night and got this much together in about an hour. Would rather be building than at work...
I've been working on this for about 3 weeks, finding the change from minifig scale to microscale quite a challenge - but an enjoyable one :)
This microscale castle and town is my section of my collaborative build with Mark Dowers for the 2021 Christchurch Brick Show.
It is not a recreation of a specific medieval town, but inspired by a number of castles and towns in Britain and Europe. The castle was mainly inspired by Conwy and Caernarfon Castles in North Wales.
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.
In the beginning of space travel, the ranges of FTL travel were limited to the drives themselves. As time went on, drives became more advanced and ships began to rely more on fuel. Captains had to pack their cargo holds with fuel or find somewhere to stop and refill.
Out on the Galactic Rim (where a hold full of cargo is an explosive possibility) independently minded people have been quick to take advantage. Like the hermit crabs of old Earth, purveyors of these refuelling depots find a suitable rock, burrow inside, set up basic life support and open as a going concern.
Captains usually set themselves up in very densely populated asteroid belts and have the ability to shut down all beacons and power and become undetectable at a moment's notice. The threat of fuel pirates are an ever present one and depot captains often contract mercenaries for protection during times of local upheaval.
This model has a long range communication system and is able to store and transmit messages over extra long distances. Entrepreneurial depot captains take a stipend from each message, further augmenting their incomes.
Crew: 2-10
Manufacturer: No standard design, asteroid dependent.
Weaponry: Nil.
Special: Augmented fuel capacity. Long range communication beacon.
The Infiltrator is the latest Assault Star Ship from Space Homeys Interstellar Technologies™. It is designed as a First-Line-Of-Offense (FLOO) fighter craft. Its deadly oversized blasters are used to double the penetrating power against enemy lines. The ruggedized hull can withstand heavy bombardment whether the mode of attack is direct frontal assault or sneak attack from behind.

Had this Little mech sitting around thought it was about time I photographed it. Part of a series of mecha that I could build using common parts but without sacrificing detail.
I built this for the Lego Ideas Moments in Space contest. The winning entry has the chance to be made into an official Lego set that would be available as a gift with purchase. If you like it, please vote for it. If you really like it, please comment on the Ideas page and share the link to help this mini rover get more votes. ideas.lego.com/challenges/1b817aba-3990-4e6d-a17f-7a59a94...
Thank you and sorry for the self promotion.

Not as excited about this one. I got the idea for the engines and tail and thought sure I could make good use of it, but I just couldn't get the front half to come together.
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.
