Solitary Dark Posted August 15, 2010 I'm trying to build in as many themes as possible at the moment. When I found my Classic Space printed parts in boxes of bricks from my parents I decided to build a ship for my new Collectible Minifig Spaceman. This started out as a version of the classic 918, but I've tried to use as many modern techniques as I could with a classic space feel. Annoyingly there are 5 parts not in blue or light grey!

zero1312 Posted August 15, 2010 Very classicy and streamlined, I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baylego Posted August 15, 2010 This is very cool! It looks kind of like a cross between a A-wing and a Vic Viper. I also really like how the overall curvature of the ship looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted August 16, 2010 Nicely done mookage, the design reminds me more of the Jedi Starfighter with the wedge shape. I like the use of the printed slope with the classic space logo. And excellent crystal-clear photos too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vynsane Posted August 16, 2010 Hopefully we'll have that windscreen in trans-yellow soon, so you can really do it up 100% ;) I really like the shape of this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 16, 2010 FANTASTIC MOC 'mookage' - a fusion of classic space, Jedi statfighter and original BSG viper - great work and I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K Posted August 16, 2010 Love it!!! Very sleek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L-space Posted August 16, 2010 Very good use of the Classic style in your colors! Love the way it all turned out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Posted August 16, 2010 Awesome work and a great homage to the original #918. I love the color scheme and the "new school" techniques give it a great streamlined/polished look. The cockpit design is nice and the Collectible Spaceman looks right at home in there. Brilliant work. You've got me thinking I will have to try something like this soon. -Davey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Scream Clone Posted June 9, 2011 Guys, if you are going to dredge up a one year old topic, try to be a bit more constructive than saying things like "great MOC" or "Cool". There really isn't a need to push down all the newer topics that people have worked hard on at the moment. Cheers ISC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you are a mod but to say others comments on an older thread aren't worthwhile is unfair. Not taking it personal at all before my comments are misconstrued. I wasn't a member here a year ago and don't usually search back very far in threads. In fact I didn't even look at the original posting date. There is a benefit to other members who may be in a similar situation. Seeing this thread just yesterday makes it "new to me" and I can appreciate the work done even if it is an older thread. I'm old enough to remember getting classic space sets new as a child and seeing MOC's like this show what could have been back then and what direction the older parts can be used in the future. I'm inspired by the MOC and that is what counts. Edited June 9, 2011 by ETAV8R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre Posted July 3, 2011 Nice looking ship...BUT...if you're going for an overall 'snot' look, you should definitely do something about the exposed studs on top of the windscreen. Those and the exposed studs on the printed slope below the windscreen front are very jarring to the eye. Oh, and you might want to swap-out that one discoloured grey piece on the forward section. Other than that, quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that, quite nice. Oh well, since this is already bumped... For the studs on top of the windscreen, you could use A Tile, Modified 2 x 3 with 2 Clips, and either move the windscreen forward 1 stud, or just have it stick over a bit. It's not out in light bley, but it was in blue this year. For the studs on the printed part, if you lowered it by 1 plate you could put a tile over it and remove the studs, or lower by 2 plates and move forward 1 stud and have cheese slopes on it. Of course, either would mess up the front section... I also think the engine fin woullook nicer if you had an inverted slope on the back to continue the general curve there, the reversing looks... odd... Otherwise, great fighter. I like the landing gears a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted July 8, 2011 Very nice! Very cool! This IS a joke right? Either that or you're blindly posting in every active topic without even reading it. Not cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcanik Posted July 8, 2011 That is a pretty righteous design and build - how about a splash of yellow somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 11, 2011 I love it. If Lego ever revived Classic Space, it should look like this. Believe me, if Lego sold this, I would buy it. Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Didn't notice the date on this until reading some other comments, it's the first time I've seen it and for selfish & nostalgic reasons I'm glad I have. My 1st thought was that it reminded me of an updated version of 918 my favourite classic space craft (even over 928) and then I saw that's exactly what it is. Lovely work Solitary Dark , makes me want to revisit some of my classic space sets. Edited September 13, 2011 by Praiter Yed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SONIC883 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) When TLG brings back Classic Space I want to see vehicles like this. Very well done. Looks clean and modern. *thumbsup* - Kai Edited September 12, 2011 by SONIC883 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
