The Librarian Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I already had an idea for a wedge-shaped spacecraft based around the new trans-yellow canopy before I saw the competition was running, then decided to turn it into a suitable entry. It was quite tricky to remove all disqualified colours from the design but a couple of bricklink orders got me there! It's pretty much exactly 40 studs long - and I wish I had more to play with because I would have preferred to extend the front antennas, but those were the rules. I don't really have a lot to say, beyond that I was quite pleased with how both the ship and hoverbike came out. If I'm honest, it's my other entry that I have more emotional investment in!

danth Posted February 11, 2023 Wow! Lovely shape! I mean, everything about this. Beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Operacion Saturno Posted February 12, 2023 The bike is a great add on. I was expecting the back of the ship detached and become a escape ship or a robot pod, but the cargo bay with the bike is a better idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted February 12, 2023 Rhaaaa, lovely ! What a gorgeous space classic ship ! On the podium, if not the winner ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulianH Posted February 12, 2023 Great shapes and details. Love it! Would like to see the 'extended' version with longer front antennas too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Undo Posted February 12, 2023 Nice looking ship! I especially love the design of the cockpits, and the addition of a cargo space for the hoverbike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 12, 2023 This is outstanding! The pod for the co-pilot is in a brilliant position, the overall design is super futuristic! The flying scooter is the icing on the cake! If this set was released by Lego it would make a splash in the 80s! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepwise Posted February 14, 2023 Hey, this is really nice. I like the overall shaping, and it's cool how you snuck the hoverbike in there, too. Did you use the Galaxy Explorer style connections for the sides of the ship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted February 15, 2023 With the Gairo (I probably spelled that wrong) it's going to be hard to vote now that this Ship is in the mix. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Librarian Posted February 16, 2023 Thanks everyone! On 2/14/2023 at 4:36 AM, Stepwise said: Did you use the Galaxy Explorer style connections for the sides of the ship? No, this just uses simple hinge connections to create the angles, with a row of brackets down the sides to attach the cheese slopes. I did mean to show off the base of the ship too, where this is more obvious, but none of the photos came out well. I'll try again this weekend and post some additional shots once the competition is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkypaws Posted February 19, 2023 Elegant design, really fits into the theme while adding some fresh design cues. Hats off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 20, 2023 This is really great, love the two cockpits and the overall shape--it screams classic space but is still unique! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted February 27, 2023 This thing is a really beauty to look at, so sleek and you integrated the multi cockpit setup beautifully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCLD Posted March 1, 2023 Nice ship, you got there! Elegantly sleek. It's for me to late to vote for it, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for your ship and have an eye on the results as soon as they are out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
