Sneaky Melarky Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I have always felt that 1997's UFO was underrated and it doesn't get the love it deserves, so I threw this together! The Radium Racer is the pride of the Zotaxian fleet. Its open engine design helps it to speed through the stars at lightning speeds, even with its heavy artillery. It was seen last in the battle between the Zotaxian and the rebel Zotaxian fleets before the revolutionaries fled to Holox. Edited February 4, 2022 by Sneaky Melarky Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Cool starship. I like the trans-neon green blades used in creating the big gun. Your ship has the UFO theme feel to it. Quote

EamonnMR Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 The contemporary part choices are mint. Great work on the background too. And of course the configuration fits the UFO theme. The detail work on the turrets is also reminiscent of the Alien Avenger but nicer and more articulated. Quote

The background is just mossy rocks and andromeda recolored to look weird. I also appreciate the fact that you are able to pick up on some of the stuff I took inspiration from! :) Quote
Billybones Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 This is so awesome I created an account just for it ! Do you have more pictures? Maybe a lego idea link ? Or studio files ? I definitely going to create ufo MOC and there is not enough of these on the internet ! Quote
Brickshipyard Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Fantastic UFO themed ship!! I wish the CES contest allowed for some of the later themes of the 90s, because yours combined with a small vehicle would be a worthy entry! Novel use of some pieces like the gates which are never seen in space MOCs. Quote

I am so glad you like it and have just published it to Bricklink's designer studio: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=410650 (It might take a short while for Bricklink to allow downloads.) Sadly I don't have any other renders as the one pictured above took me way to long to put together. I also totally agree with you on their being to few UFO mocs and I'm glad I could contribute! Thanks for the kind words, I haven't really done a lot with LEGO as a whole as of late. This might just be the push I need! Best of luck on your continued UFO related endeavors! Quote

Thanks for the kind words as well! Quote
nyugvo6 Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Looks incredible! I'll inspect it very closely in stud.io hoping to find inspiration to get back to my own ufo projects. I made a bunch in LDD back in the day, most are yet to be finished. Quote
magureanpaul Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Looks amazing! I like all those trans-green parts added. Well done. Quote

The Undo Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 I too felt this theme underrated, as it had great ship designs, cool minifigures and some cool bricks. It's rare to see a MOC from this theme, so it was nice to stumble upon this one, and it's a nicely designed starship. It would fit with the official sets perfectly. Quote

Definitely, it has got to be my favourite of the classic themes and it's always nice whenever I can find a MOC from the theme. Quote
