legoMoccer Posted July 6, 2017 hello, i just finished work on 4 spacecraft which achieved great things, feed back would be great https://ideas.lego.com/projects/e59079f3-b522-46ed-b790-e29a42f88038 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefaneris Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Those are great models, however I'm not sure wether they will stand if built with real bricks. Maybe the weight is to much for the ball joints (since gravity also is valid for space models) My favourite is the space shuttle because it look's like it's just a small snapshot of something moving.

NathanR Posted July 6, 2017 Very nice models! Though I agree with Stefaneris, I don't think the pixel ball joints could support the weight. It's also good the way all the models are immediately recognisable (well, I had to look up Viking 1 as I've never seen the orbiter for that one), even though some of the proportions are a bit off. I have a few criticisms of Hubble - the solar panels shouldn't run the length of the body, the main body should be a wider cylinder at the back, and the sunshade should be a bit bigger (if you look at the real one, it completely blocks off the lens cap cylinder, so should be 4 studs wide). I'd also suggest making the shuttle external tank a bit taller/bigger, it's undersized compared to the orbiter. Fantastic detailing on the orbiter though - no changes needed there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted July 6, 2017 yeah agreed i also dont think they will, do you know if there is anything that would support the models and allow for pose-ability? yeah i think viking 1 may be the worst as i had such a hard time finding a way to get the top section the correct shape, its a little small and doesnt have perfect angles but its the best i can do in this scale, thanks for the feedback i will work on fixing it all :) for the hubble i will get that fixed first, luckily these are easy fixes, for the solars i will just use a smaller flag piece and looking at it now yeah the fuel tank should stick up above the craft it probably needs 2/3 more segments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted July 6, 2017 This breaks the IDEAS rules anyway. You have multiple properties within one project. NASA missions are individual properties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) they accepted it so it must be ok? Edit: i checked the website guidelines and it says lego would will not allow projects if they dont meet the guidelines, mine was accepted so i guess they may of changed it?

Fantastic detailing on the orbiter though - no changes needed there Did a little work on the discovery, fuel tank is bigger and the two boosters are smaller, also changed the wings to black and put white tiles over so the black wing line is there - what do you suggest for the Hubble solar? the only other flag style this i can find are far to small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaderFan2187 Posted July 11, 2017 Congrats. I like the models but I agree they would likely not hold up in real life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the models but I agree they would likely not hold up in real life. yeah i've recently tested the ball joints, they hold in very precises locations but not good enough for everyday use, working on ways to display them with out going crazy with technic stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted July 13, 2017 anyone know a decent way to hold these models? as ball joints dont cut it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted July 18, 2017 close to 600 supporters, i want to add a new craft to the set, any one have any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I've been away for a long time but got my stuff sorted out and its back to lego stuff for me, so its been half a year since i checked lego ideas and well last time i checked it was at 600 and now its over 6000, im currently working on updating this project to be a bit more modern.

MAB Posted January 9, 2019 If you haven't been actively promoting it, you've done very well to get that far. I guess that space is a hot topic and the moment, and it is selling itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
