Another freighter related to the grey one. I wanted to try an offset cockpit, but I think it came out a little too boxy
Clearly an attempt to reproduce one of Le Corbusier's masterpieces in LEGO microscale.
lots of pics in my photostream: feel free to view, like and comment.
Thx
One of the most modern ships in the Imperial Navy, the Vesuvius-class is a heavy cruiser which places on emphasis on area denial. Unlike most Imperial warships, its main offensive striking power comes not from energy-based weapons but from missiles and torpedos. These are held in replaceable silos which line the outer hull, and missile types can be swapped and reloaded via an internal rotating weapons bay.
The cavernous interior is full to the brim with munitions, ensuring the Vesuvius-class can remain on-mission for long periods before requiring a reload. However, Veerman-Vocke recognized the potential for disaster if this internal chamber was breached. Therefore, fire-suppresants and segmented bulkheads were heavily utilized, but the primary means of security are the ten feet of armour layered onto the outer and inner hull. This massively increases cost and build time, but it allows the Vesuvius to absorb an incredible amount of punishment from enemy fire.
The Vesuvius first saw use during the Second Black War, where it surprised Union and Republic ships alike with its resilience and firepower. Only the Alabast Raid finally provided the Alllied forces with schematics and a means to exploit the weaknesses of the heavy cruiser's design.
Following the bold raid by Republic Marines which ended in the destruction of the RIS Cerberus, Veerman-Vocke was ordered to reduce the missile complement in favor of adding more plasma turrets and laser barbettes to the Vesuvius-class. It is thus possible to distinguish between older and newer vessels of this type by what primary armament they use.
My take (aka copy) of Ryan Olsen's excellent Azon Destroyer "Conquest"
Small freighter usually used as a ferry between huge interstellar freighters or starbases and a planet's surface.
The Glalsi people fight for their freedom ever since human corporations encroached on their home territories. Their ships are tough, robust packages built to last.
My first build in quite sometime. A microscale space transport robot. I envision 100's of these guys lugging fuel tanks and cargo at some kind of spaceport.
Easily my favourite vehicle, the Dropship came to being in spring 2009. It's very simple to create so if you want to have a go at building your own see the next photo.
Hidden deep in the Mystic Isles of Avalonia lies the home of Henjin Quilones and an order of Druids. Sharing the island is Henjin's wife, the elf Galaria, and her band of dragonriders, as well as the dragons themselves and a small army of support staff. The dragons live in the caves on the southern face of the island, and the humans live in buildings erected on the surface as well as in a labyrinthine complex of tunnels and caves that honeycomb the island.

My latest micro build for the Guilds of Historica over on Eurobricks. More pictures should be up eventually, once I find the time to take them. I had a bunch of others taken but my white balance was horrendously off.
This is what happens when you take two of the conscript torsos and back them up against each other. Reactor goes in the middle, upgrade all 4 legs, and drop the arms. End result is a sturdy mobil artillery platform.
Thumper gives them a pounding with a howitzer with secondary machinegun, and a mortar. Both are mounted on the same turret, and share targetting systems, but have independent elevation. They're only designed to attack the same target, but need to adjust for the differing trajectories.
These warriors are form the Warriork race. With these figures you can play a 3 sided battle ! Just for fun !
Came out pretty decent, though I'm not too keen on how shiny some parts are, and suspect it could have done with a bit of behind-camera lighting.
This particular scene is a Tempest behind 1/4 partial cover.
Can't say it seems especially 'photo-realistic'.
A couple of quick microscale buildings. The one on the left is a copy of someone's technique, unfortunately I can't remember who.
This is just a little tanker I whipped up to toy with some microscale stuff. It's generally used to ferry drinking water to barren worlds.
The scale on this is pretty darn small, which makes it feel a little less effective to me, especially next to some of the other ships I built with it. I need to try a little harder to stick to the 1 brick = 1 floor height.
Continuing this week's microscale theme, I also built a micro Razor Crest.
While the shaping isn't perfect, I think it turned out pretty good, and I even managed to make the ramp functional.
The ship has split in two and has almost completely sunk. The rescue team has arrived to pick up the survivors from the lifeboats.
I picked up a book about architects while I was in New York City last September and Philip Johnson was one of the architects mentioned. I'm currently of the opinion this is more of a proof of concept than a final model. Maybe it would work better at minifig scale.

Originally I was planning on doing four engines: two on top of the tanks and two below, with fins all along the sides. It ended looking a little funky, so I opted for this. The added bonus: I didn't have to scrounge up another boatload of 2x2 round grey bricks. :)
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.
