Stud Design Studio Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Hi ! I am not only an AFOL, I am also a big fan of Valerian and Laureline. I have all their comics. They were sources of inspiration for the Star Wars saga and the 5th element. In this comic, I love the spatiotemporal vessel, the XB982, also called Tempus Fugit in the animated series. So I could not resist trying to replicate this ship at the LEGO Minifig scale. In comics, it undergoes multiple changes over the albums, and this achievement is therefore a pure interpretation on my part. At the landing, the XB982 deploys 4 feet and Valerian and Laureline down through the hatch in the cabin. The interior of the vessel is accessed by opening the upper parts : The interior is made up of 6 modules, connected by Y-shaped corridors : - the cockpit at the front - the space-time engine in the rear and sides: - a dining room - a medical center - a bedroom - a room with a shower Hope you enjoy it! And optionally you can support it on https://ideas.lego.com/projects/133328 Quote
Forresto Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Woah woah woah that is an incredible design not just in lego but in general. Gives me a War of the Worlds (the excellent 1950's movie) meets Art Deco with the slightest tinge of the original Battlestar. I love this a lot especially how there are actually functioning rooms and corridors. I can't give enough praise! A job well done! Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 A Valerian and Laureline MOC! I never thought I'd see the day! This is an excellent representation of the Astroship. Francophone sci-fi comics are the stuff (and Francophone comics in general- looking at you, Tintin!). Are you familiar with Yoko Tsuno? Quote

dglacet Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Really impressuve!!! I'm a fan of this comic from the first hour. I tryed many time to reproduce the ship without succes. You just won my support on Ideas ;) By the way, if the project doesn't succeed, will you provide the digital instructions of this moc? Quote
Oppl Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 That has a very striking look to it and I like how it all opens up. Quote

Yes, I will wait one month (just for suspense) and I'll put the LDD file on this topic. Quote
sparis Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 As a fan of the series, I love what you've done with this model and I'm supporting it on IDEAS. I'm just a little concerned that it may be too big for an IDEAS project, which would be such a shame :( Quote
xtof Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 houaaaaaaa comment il est top méga cool !!!!! excellente représentation du vaisseau. Etant fan aussi je ne peux que être enthousiaste avec un beau moc comme ça !!! So wicked !!!! being a fan also, I'm very enthusiast when I see MOC this quality !!! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Gorgeous MOC! Amazing internal details! Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I know Yoko Tsuno, but I am not familiar with. Yoko Tsuno's a bit like Valerian and Laureline. If anything, it's at least got a semi-similar visual style: https://weshallbeher...inery-1/vol3-d/ https://weshallbeher...inery-1/vol5-c/ http://ecx.images-am...04,203,200_.jpg http://www.writeups....tte_Vinea_h.jpg A lot of cool potential there, MOC builders!

I'm just a little concerned that it may be too big for an IDEAS project, which would be such a shame :( I confirm it's too big :-( but may be it is possible to make a smaller model on the same architecture. I am thinking about that ... Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I didn't know these comics before (shame on me) but I can tell what is an awesome space ship. And this one is wonderful. I can understand why you like it. The shape is bulky but elegant. Excellent job on the round shape. And interior too! That's amazing. Quote
iammac Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Never heard of the comic, but seems legit! Great job! Quote
Only Sinner Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Wow, thw Astroship looks amazing! I would so like to have one. Quote
Tunguska Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hello everyone and hello SDS, this is my first post on Eurobricks! Just discovered this spaceship, which is absolutely gorgeous, congrats! I am a big fan of the comics, and of Lego as well. Now that the comic is about to be adapted as a movie by Luc Besson (released this summer), isn't it the right time to submit again this design to Lego IDEAs? I'm sure it would quickly gather a lot of votes, as new generations will discover the comic at the movies this year... I would vote and buy one for sure! All the best!!! Quote
sander1992 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I do not know the series, but this is a very nice build. Interesting shape of the ship. Quote
