Hey guys! So after publishing my 2021 Classic Space Calendar, many people asked for instructions, including some people who saw it here, so I finally decided to create some for one of my builds. Normally I use old grey exclusively, but in this case I used only modern grays/Bleys, and only easily, cheaply obtainable parts in general! It uses exactly 500 of them. You can get the instructions on Rebrickable! Enjoy :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-67576/The Brick Artisan/ll-925-galaxy-cruiser-classic-space/#details Even if you don't get the instructions, it would still help me out if you had a look, gave it a like, and even wrote a comment on Rebrickable to get it added visibility :)

Message me privately and I can still send you one! Lego had the listing taken down, despite me meticulously following their copyright rules. :(

Hey guys! I thought people might want to know that I produced a Lego Classic Space Calendar for 2021. 12 full colour double page spreads, with a centre fold poster, and instructions for a microbuild on the back. I thought people here might enjoy it! You can get it here for 12.99: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/915152973/lego-space-calendar-2021 You can see the poster and watch a video of me flicking through the pages here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/guidomartinbrandis/50691951096

Cheers! Thanks so much! Thanks, man! Glad it provided that Nostalgia hit! Cheers, means a lot!

I did a humorous series of minifigures which I thought people might enjoy: Dragon Space Evolution Rabbit Space Evolution Shark Space Evolution Elephant Space Evolution Lobster Space Evolution

Thanks everyone! Delighted you are all so keen on them! :)

Hey guys! I just posted instructions for the January calendar build on Rebrickable, updated to include only easily obtainable parts! Here's a link :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-67576/The Brick Artisan/ll-925-galaxy-cruiser-classic-space/#details

Hey guys! I'm an opera director in normal life, but sadly all live opera has been cancelled for the last year. So I decided to make a stop motion opera out of Lego! The opera is from 1901 based on the fairtytale of The Little Mermaid, which is why I posted it in the historical forum (If LOTR is allowed, surely fairytales!)

So apparently the newest enormous ninjago city set has an icecream parlour called ice planet, but sadly the torso of the guy manning the shop is not that of the minifigure on the card with the icecream... so may well only be a trading card gag.

Is there anywhere in the UK that sells the current series where one can try to feel the bags? The lego stores here are all closed in lockdown. I really don't fancy spending the extra money on ebay/bricklink at the moment. Or do prices settle down a bit after the initial rush

Haha! No problem at all if you don't want to enter, and I realise it's very last minute! As I say in the post, just collect the parts that you do have in your collection already, without bricklinking. The people who are likely to be interested will probably have many period appropriate pieces already, and a huge number are just normal plates and slopes. :)

I should have posted this here weeks ago, but better late than never, so here is a weekend challenge for you! I wanted to run a fun little challenge to help get us through these lockdown months, and create some old school Lego Space builds. So... I built an old school classic space model, disassembled it, and laid out the 220 parts (plus three minifigures). Your challenge is to use these parts to build something else, in the classic alternative box model style of old. Build anything you like, and you can enter as many times as you like. I tried to choose parts that were common enough in the original colours that they would already be in most space builders' collections, but that also had lots of alternate colour options available. I want to prevent people from having to make new Bricklink orders if they can avoid it! So if you like, collect the parts together in Blacktron I, Space Police I, Futuron, M:tron, or one of the other Classic Space liveries, or any other colour scheme you care to invent. Digital entries are allowed (but if you have the bricks do it in real!). Remember, no need to use every part, so if you don't have a part, just don't use it! If you photograph your creation for me on a black or tan background I'll try to photoshop any results together, to make a massive mockup rear box view, and I will reveal my original model at the same time. Usually, the rear box models were posed in a fun way, so extra points for that. I'll be doing some alternate builds too. Deadline is 10th January. Please post a link to your build under my flickr thread, here, or on instagram with the hashtag #SpaceABC so I can find it, or message it to me directly. Feel free to spread the word to anyone who might like to participate. Have fun! #SpaceABC

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6! But mainly 1 and 4.

Won't do what? :)

There was the Video Game guy with green hair who had blacktron I and MTron and classic space logos on his shirt too. :)

The LL-856 Hammerhead was used by the Federation to measure the gravitational and magnetic fields of planets, moons, and planetesimals, revealing vital information about their sub surface structures, composition, and dynamics. The wide hammerhead fins, packed with delicate, encased sensors, facilitated extremely fine spacial resolution in all directions, unimpeded by the main body of the craft.

Thanks so much! Thanks! Yes, I love those retro parts - beautiful form! Cheers! Thanks. No I didn't take any stages photos. Maybe I can do that on my next build. Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers! haha yeah! Didn't think of that, but you're right! Thanks, man! Thanks so much! Cheers! Thank you! :) Hi, thanks! Yes that's right. motorcycle parts. :)

Mobile satellite links were extremely useful for relaying the findings of the Federation's various surface discovery vehicles straight to space stations and orbiting space craft. However, when dust and electrical storms made such communication impossible, the Heavy Communications Rover could send and receive messages seismically through a planet's interior. A network of four rovers would be enough to cover the entire surface of most planets, ensuring transfer of information from the planet surface to space without interruption. In the days of Blacktron raids, this tactic allowed the Federation to react speedily to attack. I had this old dark gray radar dish sitting on the shelf for years and decided I had to make something with it. This was the result. It's not obviously visible on the main edit, but the stacked dishes behind the main cab are meant to be a device to create seismic pulses, and also provide a pivot point between the can and the trailer. Also pleased that I used three trans yellow windscreens I’d never used before - particularly fun to discover that the inverted windscreen can accept two SNOT studs. I also used three different lattice parts in old light gray to tie the build together.

Thank you! :) Cheers!

The LL-942 was designed for use in high density atmospheres, and also to be able to withstand manoeuvres in high gravitational fields. Early exploratory missions included many to gas and ice giants, its natural habitat, but it soon proved so popular with Federation pilots that it became one of the most used ships in active service. A Classic Space spaceship I built for the 40th anniversary of the theme last year, in lovely old grey. I also decided to do a retro version of the build with box art to match!

Wonderful build! So creative, wonderful lines and colour blocking.

Lovely build! Great colour use and shaping, and love the car!

Thank you! Thanks so much! Cheers! I'm addicted to old gray, and the look of those early classic space ground vehicles which were all grey except the windscreens and wheels. I love the texture you can build up with only one colour :) Thank you - glad you like it! Yes, something like 35 years between the oldest and newest ones! I just love this about lego - I always try and include very new and very old pieces in my builds. Cheers! Hehe, cheers! Glad it was pleasing to you!

Here's another recolour - neo Ice Planet 2002!

"Pilot H and Pilot G were two of the bravest explorers the Federation had ever known. Working together as an inseparable team, they had flown to the farthest reaches of the galaxy in their Bubble Scout ships, discovering distant star systems, retrieving valuable artefacts, whilst always evading the rogues living at the edge of the Galaxy." I just had to try this using those curve pieces, and this is the result! The build got a lot of nice comments on Flickr, Reddit and Instagram so I subsequently decided to make it into a Lego Ideas submission. It's very difficult for non movie or TV based projects to gather enough support on there, which has been been discussed on this forum, so I'm attempting to buck the trend of IP Ideas! I couldn't help but make reference to M:Tron and Blacktron, and hopefully new trans-yellow parts would be a nice side effect of this project being made. Unfortunately modern magnet pieces are rather bulky because of a change in the law, so that part might need a bit of refining. G and H are mine and my fiancée's initials; so the project has a little extra personal resonance for me too! I would really appreciate your vote so that this build might one day become a real set. Please also comment so that it goes up in the popularity rankings! It's been doing quite well so far (550 supporters in 10 days) so lets get it to 10,000! Please also share with any friends or family who you think might also like this. :) https://ideas.lego.com/projects/f64e35a2-ebb2-43a7-9dca-dbe0e683bbbf
