Galaxy Explorer 10497 is a great set, but...
SteveOC replied to Operacion Saturno's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
The 10497 is a great value for money set but I actually thought it was a bit too big, complicated and flimsy. I’m not really complaining as it looks great but the original 928 was a really nice sturdy, swooshable set that I could put together from memory when I was a kid. No pleasing some people is there! -
[MOC] Star Splitter: Classic Space Combiner/Transformer Spaceship Mech

Very nicely done. Love it! -
[MOD] Dagobah Jedi Training with a Midi-Scale X-Wing
SteveOC replied to mcphatty's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Very nice! It’s fun making additions to these diorama sets. I thought of doing the swamp whale that spits R2-D2 out but haven’t got the imagination for it! -
Quick MOD of the 75339 Trash Compactor to get C-3PO and R2-D2 on display when it’s sitting on a shelf. No extra bricks required. I might dig out the 75229 Death Star Escape to put a Stormtrooper and mouse droid on the other side. 75339 Trash Compactor MOD by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr

Thanks jawchef. I was also thinking of having Obi-Wan Kenobi deactivating the tractor beam on the right hand side instead of the Stormtrooper and mouse droid.

[MOC][Instructions] Micro Star Wars Starship Collection
SteveOC replied to mcphatty's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Really like these and thank you for the free instructions. Very generous of you! -
I've been following this thread with interest, I love the Millennium Falcon but only had the micro fighter sets before 75257 came out. UCS is great but too big for my liking and the cockpit position and mandibles on previous versions didn't do it for me. 75257 is really good but the gaps stop it being a great set in my opinion. My first attempt to fill the mandible/hatch gaps involved adding two layers of plates to the existing mandible structure. I've used coloured bricks to make it obvious. Unfortunately increasing the depth of the mandible meant that the canopy was harder to remove so I tried moving it one stud sideways which helped but left an even bigger gap that needs filling somehow! I also want to add a forward centre line landing gear too.

Aquarius - A New Lego Classic Space Spaceship
SteveOC replied to jamesed_1971's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Awesome ship! Makes me want to stick all my Classic Space bricks in a pile and see what I can come up with. Don't think it would be that big though :-D -

It's tricky but you can make a Borg Cube out of the remaining bricks after making a Federation ship. 20170428_225337 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr -

[MOC] Midi? Millennium Falcon for New Elementary
SteveOC replied to badgerboy's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Nice build, the top looks great. Any plans to tidy up underneath and loose Han Solo to make it more midi scale rather than a better micro fighter? -
75030 Millenium Falcon (microfighters) alt. builds
SteveOC replied to SteveOC's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Thanks Dean_1987, the Death Star test rig was actually the last of the three to be made so it's just made up of left over pieces. The micro Star Trek ship worked surprisingly well and I did try to make a Borg cube out of the pieces that make up the Death Star test rig. It didn't work obviously! The Gunstar was the first creation of the three and was done completely from memory so it's actually quite inaccurate but I was close(ish) :-) No instructions but hopefully you can see how I did it from the exploded view picture.

Got bored, played with LEGO, result = a Death Star test rig with docked Star Destroyer / a Star Trek federation ship / a Gunstar from The Last Starfighter :-) 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr 75030 Millennium Falcon alternative builds by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr -
75049 Snowspeeder alternate build (B-Wing) I used nearly all the parts from the Snowspeeder to make it. Not perfect but I had fun doing it. 20160124_124729 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr 20160124_125234 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr

Fantastic looking B-Wing, great work!
-
How did that B-Wing go? I try and make a B-Wing alternative build out of most of my SW sets but have only been successful with the 75049 Snowspeeder so far!
-
Cool speeders and great photography, how do you get them against those backgrounds?
-
I had another go and although the engine section isn't working that well I thought the overall look wasn't too bad. IMG_0170 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr IMG_0165 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr IMG_0164 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr

Thanks all, nice to see this one still catches peoples attention :-) There is no LDD unfortunately but hopefully you can see how I did it on the flickr album. It would be great to see if anyone can improve on it too. I might have another go myself and try and get it a bit closer to the actual B-Wing design!

Awesome ship

Amazing collection of work, nice job!

928 Galaxy Explorer alternate build (+ a 886 rover) - radio telescope base with lander. The lander came first while trying to do something bigger. I really liked the look of it and stopped working on it but had loads of bricks left so finally got the idea for a radio telescope. The first attempt was the one on the crater plate which is a bit haphazard. When I ran out of space and it got a bit flimsy I did the free standing plates between studs one. (I'll take some better photos of individual items at some point!). IMG_0131 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr IMG_0118 by Stephen O'Connor, on Flickr

[Classic Space/Futuron MOC] Fast Space Cruiser Andromeda
SteveOC replied to Littleworlds's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Nice ship, the interior details are great. Have you considered bringing the pilot onto the main bridge? Looks a bit isolated out front :-) -
Very good, love the piston details.
