Hi everyone! Having been inspired by Matthias Riedel's Blacktron MOCs, I've been making some builds using the same colour scheme. Namely Black, Dark Bley and Trans Neon Green, which is inspired by the Rench minifig from Raid VPR (5981-1) and the Space Villain minifig (8803-6).

I want to say in advance that I was very unhappy with my photography. Sorry about that!

Some Notes!

- The halftrack is originally by Matthias Riedel: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_blacktron/

- The crawler is based on a Nova Crawler, which is an alternate build of the Exo-Force kit, Supernova (7712), inspired by Matthias Riedel's blacktron MOC of same: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=412775

- The racer is a recolour of the Agents kit, Infearno Interception (70162).

- The walker is an updated Sub Orbital Guardian (6878-1) from Blacktron II.

- The fighter is a recolour of the Ice Planet 2002 set Blizzard Baron (6879).

- The submersible is a MOC with it's main design forms coming from the Aquazone set, Crystal Scavenger (2160-1).

Many more pics in my Flickr album:

I've also ordered components for 8 more Neo Blacktron minifigs, and am eagerly anticipating their arrival!

Comments welcome!

Oh, those are very nice indeed...could you make detail photo of the "spiderish" craft in top right, please? Cos that one looks most promising + any spacecraft containing submarine parts - like propellers - is just hilarious right from the principle alone to me. :thumbup::grin:

Not that bad a job with the photograph. Good job with the build. Black on black is the most difficult. If you what to do more with this problem look into two things. First a seamless background usually a large sheet of paper neutral or gray. Second multiple light sources primary and fill in. Control is easer without flash so you can see in advance. A diffused light sometime help with the reflections. But our hobby, passion is bricks not photos build on.

Sadly, I know better! I've taken much nicer shots int he past, but I didn't have my lightbox setup and just wanted to grab some pics! Thanks for all the tips and comments!

Wow, now that model is REALLY BEAUTIFUL, as I said spaceship-submarine combo,,great!!! :thumbup:

Very kind of you! I think you'll agree the pictures are much nicer than the above! Hah.
