    USS UFO

    Great job - wouldn't mind seeing it in Futuron or even the "natural" colors too... And I love the way you used those trans-neon wall pieces in her (if you'll forgive the engineering parlance) "ample" nacelles!

    Classic Space Color meanings

    Yep, this is what I primarily meant by "regular clothed"; ie, not a pressurised spacesuit, but a regular uniform of some kind. :) When doing any neo-classic or Futuron MOCs for example I used to have uniform colors that would essentially just be a darker version of the spacesuit colors, while for M-Tron and Unitron I had darker red & blue coveralls respectively, with drab (sand blue & green, tan, grey, etc) undershirts to mimic the classic space departmental colors. For Space Police meanwhile I put them largely into (as I recall; it was a while back) a variety of dark blue and black uniforms, while Blacktron received essentially the pinnacle of "neo-grunge pirates in space" fashion :D I know the one you mean! :)

    Classic Space Color meanings

    Apologies everyone for dragging this up from the depths of page 2, but it seemed this was the most appropriate thread for me to ask this rather than create a new one: When designing space MOCs, do any of you put your minifigs in "regular" clothing (ie, uniforms or off-duty garb vs pressurised spacesuits) for when they're inside "sealed" spaces with atmospheres? I ask because I used to do so in Lego Digital Designer, back when I first figured out how to create upload my own textures (admittedly if it were real Lego I might not bother! )

    Unitron lore

    For some reason I always figured Unitron was just the interstellar megacorp equivalent of a telecoms company

    [MOC] SYMBIOSIS

    Creepy as all heck... I love it! The way you've arranged the interior tech feeding into that poor tortured soul is particularly awesome; the forced symbiotic nature of his relationship with the vessel is made abundantly clear. :)

    Refreshing makes no difference; the FB links themselves are only valid for a limited period. If you want other users to see and comment on your works then the onus is on you to make the images accessible.

    Still not working dude, and the FB link above hangs too. I recommend if you're going to use anything from Meta to post images you use Instagram instead -- not everyone has or wants a FB account, while Instagram posts should be easily visible externally. :)

    [MOC] Ice Station Icarus

    Weeeeell I'm not sure they'd really count as antagonists, what with having been frozen solid... I was thinking of them more as "decorative scenery"

    [MOC] Ice Station Icarus

    Absolutely SUPERB, and AFAIC it's a massive improvement on both the color scheme and the somewhat uninspired concept of the original IcePlanet2002 itself. Your 'sequel era' does for the theme what Neo Classic Space does for the original space Lego, reinvigorating it and adding so much more depth and richness of detail. I love the above-mentioned idea of hapless Blacktrons (or maybe skeletons from earlier war-era "icetronauts"?) frozen in the ice; in fact there's a megaton of possibilities for additional scenes that these sets inspire -- they really spark the imagination, just as Lego intended. Here's hoping you're not done with the theme yet, because I'd love to see more!! 👍

    [MOC] Star Trek Ep. 1 The Man Trap

    Bloody CBS; they're such utter moneygrubbing leaches. This is an absolutely awesome piece, I hope to see lots more of them!

    Classic Space Color meanings

    Exactly this. I decided some years back to use a derivative of good old Star Trek TOS/Movie colors: White: Command / Flag officers Yellow: Helm / pilots / navigators Red: Engineering / Operations Blue: Science Green: Medical Black: Security I then went and adjusted these so that if minifigs weren't "in their spacesuits" their regular uniforms were more like White/Beige/Tan/Grey-Blue/Teal/Dark Grey... I even customised LDD's native decals so I could give them little gold Lego Space logos on their left breast LOL
