Antak Posted September 27, 2016 A project of three years or so (not continuous), this ship has gone from average size to just under three feet. The UFO series was one of my favorites growing up, so after going through my old legos and putting the sets back together, I started building this monstrosity. It breaks apart into 23 different pieces, many of which are designed to function indepedently, and all parts are modular. The Ship has electronics integrated in the middle, with a 9 volt motor, a 9 volt battery box, the old fiber optic assembly, and the double flashing light brick. It has a crew of 13, 1 of each classic alien, 3 of each robot, and 4 custom figures. There's also a pile of weapons, all stored on the ship in various places. r. If anyone is interested, I will post more pictures, as there are a lot of details packed into each part of this model, and I didn't want to flood the topic in pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted September 27, 2016 Modularity for the win! You did a nice job trying to keep up with UFO style! Shame there are no 2 halves make round ufo modules - but that's can be your next project! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antak Posted September 27, 2016 Thank you! You can get pretty close to a saucer, but I honestly never even thought about making one... Hmm This is actually what the ship looked like when I started Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 27, 2016 Oooooo, that giant ship looks pretty awesome. I also love how you increased the diversity of the figures from the original line. Those new aliens look amazing!!! This theme also brings nostalgia to me, so I certainly appreciate this post. Thanks a lot for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOshibainu Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) That is absolutely amazing! The design is so cool and I love the modular design, a great tribute to the UFO theme is a personal favourite for me too! And your custom figures where also very eye catching! I loved it. Also what torso piece does the black armoured alien use?

ETAV8R Posted November 23, 2016 This is awesome. UFO is one of my favorite lines. I was in my dark ages when it was out but have since picked up a few. Really neat antithesis to classic space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
