Space Police XVIII

No idea about a DIY solution, but there's the option to just order one: https://www.steindrucker.com/space-classic This outfit sells custom printed parts. I've got a handful Classic Space and M-Tron bits, including a CS logo on a dark tan torso. Looks good enough to be an official print.

Messerschmitt? And it looks very good. Doesn't need more greebling in my opinion, those sawtooth edges on the curve pieces give enough flavor.

That's great but why does it look so crap? It's like somebody repainted regular helmet and airtanks. Badly. There's a weird hole in the hand and the logo's already flaking off.

Rise of Skywalker It's shit.

No comment on the colors, but it's a neat build. Nice job especially on accessory attachments.

That's a great look, especially the curves in back. Probably my favorite take on this set.

What are you talking about? easiest bounty EVER.

Great color scheme and nicely alien! Looks like there's a wrecked carrot freighter just out of frame though.

I dyed the first batch about half a year ago, not seeing any fading.

Looks great. Really liking the windshields and cockpit arrangement.

Great use of that giant train front piece.

The pauldrons are useful for Classic Space, at least.

Why.

That's so 80s Classic Space it hurts. Awesome.

Nice start to the contest, and nice build! Those thrusters are great.

This sounds like fun. A question! Are modified parts allowed? specifically, trans-clear windshields dyed yellow?

by OVERWHELMING POPULAR DEMAND here is a thread for useful parts from clone brands. Everybody's welcome to contribute. I'll be updating it now and then with stuff from my collection. For a start, some hands. I haven't been too happy with what's available for mech building, so these immediately caught my eye. These are rather nice. Poseable, expressive, good for medium mechs. They can't actually hold things - thumbs are too loose and there's not enough finger segments - but there's an attachment point in each palm, either stud or pin-sized. They're exclusive to this one nameless action figure series. Since the sellers shove as many keywords into the title as possible to game search results, you can only find them by searching for character name (Xiang Yu, there's also Lu Bu, Gao Jianli, Han Xin, maybe others) and digging through the sellers' inventory for others. Welcome to aliexpress. Some of those sets have interesting parts, like the big sword blades in black. Quality overall is poor. The hands hold up well, but the parts often have sprue remains that have to be cut off, the face prints are terrible, and so on... still, most of it is standard bionicle parts, durable enough to be useful.

Cute! All it needs are red wheels..

What is 'this building style' exactly? Guessing it's a bit more specific than plain old boring Classic Space?

So this is a shoutout to the Halloween skins, right? I thought Mercy was a witch, not a zombie?

I've never seen light bley discolored like that. Starting to wonder if it's not actually a lepin set.

I was curious about this myself, so took a couple photos.

So, I've been building little spacebikes based on this bike fairing part for a while, and by that I mean a couple years or something. IMO the motorcycle is terrible, ridiculously huge, but the fairing's good for little spacecraft. It was even used for this set 5969 prototype. anyways, group shot The Blacktron version's the definitive one. and 100% legal legos, so I used it as a base for this instructions page There's a bunch of others in my flickr gallery if anybody's bored and curious, cheers

This is a really nice build. I saved it for reference for when I build another mech, lots of great details like the armor around the ankle joints. Between the name and the hands, I keep picturing this thing stomping around throwing adorably useless uppercuts. SHORYUKEN oh no I broke off the guns again
