The Librarian Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 A couple of spaceships I built over the last couple of months. Not SHIPs by any stretch of the imagination but I hope they pass muster regardless. This is a shape I've wanted to build for a while but hadn't quite worked out before now.

Digger of Bricks Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Oh My Gosh! I love both of these ships! Their very long noses, blunt wings, and angled tailfins give these spacecraft a sort of retro, Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon type rocketcraft look, something I seriously dig! Excellent work! Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Great work! My only critique is the windscreen color on the Space Police one, but otherwise these are sweet! Quote
Legocitycustoms Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I love it, the technic stuff and the striping, awesome. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 So smooth and pointy!!! Classic shaping, I love both of them! I cannot believe they balance on such a small stand... Great work! Quote

A very similar part exists in trans red: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=x224&colorID=17&in=A It's two studs shorter though. I like the red stripes in the black sections. It nicely accentuates the "Police" printed pieces. Quote

They both balance pretty well but it's definitely a more delicate task for the Space Police version. On 09/10/2017 at 6:08 PM, Umbra-Manis said: Great work!

I own that part, in fact, but the shape of it would have flowed badly with the rest of the model. I opted for the orange piece instead since I was using CMF space marines in place of any actual Space Police minifgures and it fit with them. Plus, orange means the cockpit is that bit more visible through the window! Edited October 12, 2017 by The Librarian Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Wow, those have some fantastic lines. Great spaceships even if they won't hit SHIP size. Now... Any plans for Classic Space colours? Quote

It may not fit within the set color scheme of Space Police I; but nonetheless, I think it works just perfectly, a nice blend of S7 Space Marine and Space Police I aesthetics. Opting to incorporate the Trans-red element of SP1's color scheme as a subtle Bright Red stripe works quite nicely, and trading the Bright Blue of SP1 for Earth Blue also complements its Space Marine pilot.

Professor Thaum Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Pretty ones really ! the space police is my favourite for the small wings with the thrusters Quote
