Definitely, it has got to be my favourite of the classic themes and it's always nice whenever I can find a MOC from the theme.
-
Thank you!
-
Right?! I wish that themes like UFO & Insectoids got more love from the community and in contests. Thanks for the kind words as well!
-
Awesome! I am so glad you like it and have just published it to Bricklink's designer studio: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=410650 (It might take a short while for Bricklink to allow downloads.) Sadly I don't have any other renders as the one pictured above took me way to long to put together. I also totally agree with you on their being to few UFO mocs and I'm glad I could contribute! Thanks for the kind words, I haven't really done a lot with LEGO as a whole as of late. This might just be the push I need! Best of luck on your continued UFO related endeavors!

Sneaky Melarky started following Billybones

Thank you! The background is just mossy rocks and andromeda recolored to look weird. I also appreciate the fact that you are able to pick up on some of the stuff I took inspiration from! :)
-
Thanks for the kind words! For the most part, I tried to use the colors and bricks that existed from that era of LEGO.

Sneaky Melarky started following [MOC] UFO The Radium Racer
-
I have always felt that 1997's UFO was underrated and it doesn't get the love it deserves, so I threw this together! The Radium Racer is the pride of the Zotaxian fleet. Its open engine design helps it to speed through the stars at lightning speeds, even with its heavy artillery. It was seen last in the battle between the Zotaxian and the rebel Zotaxian fleets before the revolutionaries fled to Holox.

Thanks so much for the advice! The water is just made out of upside down baseplates because for some reason in Stud.io they don't have that bubble texture like the real ones. It cuts down on rendering time and LEGO has enough blue colors for the different shades of water. I didn't know about the pixels (I think I used 2100 by 2000 for the latest render, whoops.) I'll have to give paint.net a try but I have one question for you, how do you disable the lighting? I tried playing around with the lighting intensity but nothing seemed to work. Anyway, thanks for all the tips I really appreciate it!
-
Possibly but I don't have photoshop or any of those other programs that they use. Also for some reason the lighting and other things broke in my renderer but here is a concept of The Flying Toucan w/ minifigs: https://imgur.com/a/LEoK6lg

Looks kind of cobbled together, I'm not saying it's nothing but it's entirely possible that LEGO was just trying to be tongue and cheek.
-
Well it's all digital and I'm not skilled enough to add in special printed pieces, however, I'll check to see what's already available in Stud.io. Besides that I'll try to cobble some extra details and stuff into what I have already. I'd say give it a few days and I might have a more detailed render up. Thanks for you interest!
-
Yes, I have a good enough computer but it still takes a while to render stuff. There's also not really that much to show off besides what's seen. I might try to figure out an interior eventually but it's not currently anything I'm worrying about. It's a shame they cost $40 because of the 1 x 1 round plates in blue only being released in one set. I guess that's just how it is sometimes!
-
It's from the creator set it just uses one of the hats that was on one of the other figures from that set.
-
The front looks a bit like it, but the sides and proportions seem different. It might just be the lighting but hopefully it's still something.

Yes, I have some parts I am waiting on to complete a smaller scale ship. My ships aren't anywhere near the level of ships assembled by some of the people on this forum but I feel like they are starting to look good enough to share. Anyway I hope to have a smaller scaled imperial ship assembled by February.
