Blacktron III - color scheme / ship concept

Recommended Posts

This idea is spun off from another thread, as there was the seed that got me started on this: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=112920

I think Blacktron 3's color scheme could be something like this: black, trans-black cockpits, bluish grays and lime, with yellow and black bumblebee stripes. Blacktron split off from Classic Space, so why couldn't they take some parts of classic space technology / ideas with them?

Anyway, here are my Benny's ssS! version in Blacktron III colors.

I figured this would be the easiest color change for Benny's SSS.

When built in real life, this part should be where the classic space logo used to go on the nose: http://alpha.brickli...858p01#T=C&C=11

With the crew areas visible.

I took the liberty of removing the SpaceKitty seat and both of the repair bots.

and here is a fighter, one of millions in the BT3 fleet.

This fighter was made from the LEGO Universe Classic Space rocket. it does not separate into sections anymore, and features this print on the nose:

The trans-orange bits really look out of place here. Aside from that, looks great. I like your changes to the build, and the color scheme works really well.

Actually, that's supposed to be trans red. Sorry for the color mix-up and thanks for commenting!

That looks amazing. A great recolor/redesign of the SSS. Although, in my opinion, that ship looks more M:Tron to me. Just the shaping is different. Blacktron I had a certain look to it, and Blacktron II changed it up a bit with the bubble cockpits and whatnot. M:Tron had the same non-bubble cockpits as most other space themes. So I could easily see SSS as an M:Tron recolor/redesign (you just gave me an idea). Although I really like this Blacktron III idea. Although, I am definitely a Blacktron II supporter, so I may have to consider creating something like this for my fleet..
