[MOC] Space Champions - Xenon X2-Craft

Recommended Posts

The Speed Champions line has been a breath of fresh air from Lego for me.  Small, impeccably designed sets that were a joy to build and play with.  But....But....I am a space head at heart.  And I kept saying why doesn't Lego make space sets like these.  And then I'd say something about how it is Lego and they don't need to do squat.  I can do it.  So, MOC 1 of the Space Champions line combines:

with

to get the Xenon X2-Craft.

Look at how happy he looks with his Space Champion upgrade.

Maybe by the time I get to MOC 2 of this theme I'll figure out a way to photograph it so it looks good.  It is much better in person and very very swooshible.  A few more pictures are there on Flickr.

 

Anyway, I hope you like it.  Comments, even negative ones, are always appreciated.

Ooh, I like this concept, combining speed champions & classic space? Wonderful thought and great first execution of it!  I like the speed champions shaping and love the perpendicular winglets too.  Only thing I can think to add would be the classic bumblebee striping somewhere :wink:  Beautifully done!

I'm presuming that Speed Champions canopy has been tumeric-stained for this creation? Looks pretty sweet... :thumbup: :wink:

Hello!

I like that the classic space spirit is kept alive here while we are still waiting for a new proper space theme. Good job! :thumbup:

Cheers,

Chris
