That’s cool!. Particularly like the pyramid building. Nice use of the door pieces for the wings on the ship too. I keep meaning to try a micro build… wait… is that whole city actually balancing on one single 1x1 round plate and held up by one of those bendy antenna pieces? Or have you photoshopped out the stand?

Thanks! that was the last one I did (except for the lightsaber hilt building) and I feel like it really tied everything together!

Thanks! I just bought a huge lot of bulk bricks for my toddler, and building a variant on this spaceship with the red doors was the first thing I made while playing with him!

hah, no, this is actually a digital build (so far, will have to do some final color palette adjustments before I order any parts), but I designed it to be hung from transparent monofilament fishing line for a physical display. There's a Technic axle tying the whole thing together from the astromech head on the bottom up to the cone on top, so I would just tie a bit of line around around each side where the pneumatic t-junctions come in and hang it from the underside of a shelf.

Those are really good renders considering it’s digital. But yeah, hanging it will be essential. It would never balance on that antenna and plate 😂

Thanks! I run a computer graphics company for work, so I'm always trying to push my Blender skills in some way, even for my hobbies. 😅 I'm flattered you couldn't tell on a casual glance!

 

And yeah, I figured if I end up buying the parts it would kinda break the vibe of "space city" a little bit if it had to awkwardly balance on a stand.
