Classic Space functionality meets Star Wars fashion with this mash-up of a Jedi Delta-7b Starfighter in Classic Space colors. This model is actually a amalgamation of two Star Wars sets: The two sets are number 9484, Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter (link: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=9498-1 ) and number 8093, Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter (link: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=8093-1 ) The classic space logo should be on this piece: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=30363pb021 The model features red and green directional lights, trans-yellow canopy, (as per Classic Space regulations) two laser cannons under the wings, two rocket engines on the rear, three landing gear legs, and a escape pod made up of the cockpit. The engines are located underneath the wings, near the landing gear. You can also see the cockpit controls in this shot. (NOTE: I don't plan on building this model, but it looked too cool not to post. I call it a Beta class Advanced Prototype star fighter) Here is the LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1424706854m.lxf

I did not make this. Eurobricks user named Sunnyx created the original LEGO model, a Star Craft "Battlecruiser" in July 2010. (Here is a picture of that version: http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=4569048 ) I downloaded it today and made it into Classic Space colors, along with some changes to the engines, plus the addtion of a Classic Space logo (unprinted here, but this part in real life: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=30363pb021 ) on the front, just above the fighter hanger. (This model is designated to be for my brother, Austin, and his classic space fleet. It may or or may not be built, as it has an quite large 1380 parts!) Background: Designed and built right after the first Blacktron War and before the formation of the Space Police, the "Dreadnought" class was designed to take the punishment of any Blacktron wepaon developed up to 1989 and give back the punishment in triplicate. The Dreadnought class numbered only five strong when 1991 rolled around, bringing the Blacktron (this time the Future Generation, successors to the original Blacktron) back into war with the Space Police and Classic Space. The Blacktron forces received a pounding from the Dreadnoughts, but not before finding a way around the 1989-vintage scanner systems and destroying the original Dreadnought with a concentrated barrage on the hyperdive system. (a weak spot for the Dreadnoughts is the four hyperdrives, located on the above and below the main wings on the left and right sides) The end of the second war and the supposed erasing of the Blacktron scourge meant that over the next 10 years many Classic Space leaders promised to decommission the Dreadnoughts, but they stayed put, slowly becoming more outdated as the years went by. Only after the Neo-Blacktron sightings and Benny the-1980-something space guy coming to head the Classic Space fleet did the task of revitalizing and revamping the Dreadnoughts get finished. As of 2015, the four Dreadnought's remaining are being surpassed by Super Dreadnoughts, the first of five will be coming off the assembly line sometime in the near future, probably within 2 years. The rear of the ship, with it's four main sub-light drives. The ship features a hanger for smaller fighter ships on it's nose, which can hold up to 20 "Galaxy" class deep space fighters, plus their is space in a secondary hanger for 15 exo-suits. The unlucky Blacktron ships caught in the crosshairs of this mega ship would be subject to 70 laser cannons spread through out the ship's superstructure, 10 tractor beam ports that are mostly situated around the bow, and two retractable Ion cannons located on both left and right wings, in between the hyperspace engines. Top view. The frontal wings hold the star fighter bays, while the rear wings hold the hyper and sublight engines. LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1424445098m.lxf Comments welcome!

This is an experiment... probably a new level of "Neo Classic Space Era", a mecha pilotated trough the ment of the pilot that it can stay in a base without any danger to die. Small drones can operate in every condition and can be replaced simply A close up of my Drone CS-1P Link Flickr Link Flickr

I just saw this article today. (link at the end of the post) Somebody made new astronaut minifigs got them brought to the ISS. Not the first time LEGO have been in space, but still pretty cool nonetheless. http://toybox.io9.co...307/ rtgonzalez

[MOC] LL 930 Galaxy Explorer and LL 925 Mk 3 Light Reconnaissance Spac
OlivierV posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Hi everyone! I've recently rediscovered my passion for Lego and Lego Classic Space in particular. As a child I played hours and hours with my LL 928 (which I still have!) and the rest of my space sets like the Mega Core Magnetize and such. I can fondly remember the countless times created my own designs and swooshed them proudly through the room trying not to step on the loose bricks on the floor ;-). And of all the sets I own from my childhood the LL 928 is the one that is engraved in my memory as being the most fun and iconic of them all. Recently my mother gave me a box with all my lego bricks from when I was young and the first thing that I wanted to rebuild was, sure enough, my Galaxy Explorer. And I did! It might look a bit scuffed in some places but I didn't care, this one was mine! All the little scratches on it represent the fun I had with it ;-) Immediately after that I went on the Lego website to see if they had something like that in their vast collection on offer... and while I did buy Benny's Spaceship and had a great time building it I couldn't see myself tearing it apart to build something new or even just add stuff on to make it look even better. Now, don't get me wrong, Benny's Spaceship is great but it's too fixed in what it is. It was time for me too try and do something about it and I started designing my own new versions of the LL 918, 924 and 928. Sadly, I don't own a vast number of bricks but that's were LDD came in! And now, they're finished! (except for the LL 918 redesign, I'm still working on that little ship). First up is my LL 930 Galaxy Explorer! It's a pretty standard build, not too difficult but still fun. The goal was that any child from around 6 years should be able to build it him/herself with minimum help from dad or mom ;-). It takes some styling cues from Benny's Spaceship and from the original Galaxy Explorer to make it instantly recognizable. There are a few "hidden" compartments, one for the "engine bay" and one is a storage compartment. The cargo bay features a science station and room for the rover. It is not jampacked with weapons on purpose. Benny's ship was too battle oriented to my liking so I set the timeframe of all my ships after Lord Business was defeated and space exploration could resume as normal. Total brick count is 770. Then there's my LL 925 Mk3 Light Reconnaissance Spaceship! (I know, the name is to long...) As you can see it's much smaller but retains a lot of details.My first version was without a ramp but someone pointed out that the rover had now way of getting in the ship so I added one. The total brick count is around 300. Let me know what you think about it! If you like my ideas and would like to see them in your nearest Lego Store then please vote for them on Lego Ideas! LL 925 LL 930 Thanks in advance! Olivier V -

Classic Space Star Fighter This is my Classic Space Star Fighter. It holds two pilots, which sit in the cockpit with one on controls, with the other one as a backup. Given the nostalgia of Classic Space (Space, Futuron, Blacktron, etc.), which has only been fueled by Benny from the Lego Movie and the Exosuit, I thought I'd try to make a spaceship. It's got eight engines, a cargo hold, and secondary flaps for atmospheric flight. It's capable of holding gear (or extra Turtles!) in it's four auxiliary cargo holds, located behind the observation panels on 4 of the eight sides of the craft. Closeups: Maximum Velocity: 45,000 MPH Classification: Light Freighter/Transportation Classic Space Jet Fighter Unlike my other model, the Classic Space Starfighter, this one is designed specifically for HALO (High Atmosphere, Low Orbit) applications. For maneuverability, it foregoes the standard engines and directional thrusters for a series of Ion Pulse drives. These are powered directly by electricity, eliminating the need for pesky fuel! Given it's application as a espionage or small freight vehicle, it also gets rid of the standard cockpit and replaces it with a forcefield. In the event that there is equipment failure, there's a mechanically operated life support system connected to the Pilot from the seat. Also, it has lift generating wings, a parachute, and a Ramjet engine in the event of having total power loss or for atmospheric travel. Alternate View: Maximum Velocity: 25,000 MPH Classification: Light Freighter/Atmospheric Transportation Thanks for viewing my models! I'm going to work on some more, but it'll take a bit of time since I dual post them to Lego Ideas and Eurobricks.

Before my DA, I was seriously into Classic Space and had almost all the sets from the 1970s and early '80s. It's difficult to say which was my favourite but 6927 All-Terrain Vehicle was particularly memorable. Maybe it was the the new colour scheme with the white instead of the grey of the earlier sets. Or maybe it was the detachable lab which smoothly lowered onto the lunar surface. Whatever it was, I've had a soft spot for 6927 for a very long time. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view), my mother gave all my LEGO away when I went into my DA. I've been an AFOL since 1993 and for a few years now I've been thinking of getting another 6927. It wasn't until this summer though that I started to take action. At first, I looked at buying a complete one on the secondary market, but the set was either too expensive or I couldn't trust the seller's description of its condition. So I decided to reconstruct it piecemeal from parts I already had plus new and used pieces I bought on BrickLink and Ebay. I wanted to wind up with a really nice looking set but wasn't hugely concerned with historical accuracy and was willing to substitute updated parts such as the newer, thicker piece holding the front lights. I learned a few things along the way: The same description of a used part's condition varies wildly from seller to seller on BrickLink even those with good feedback. Some pieces were so good I could hardly tell they were used. Others were so bad, such as parts that were cracked, that they utterly defied their description. Ebay sellers can't be trusted at all. One in particular in Ireland sent me minifigures that bore no resemblance to either their picture or description. It was basically a scam. Peeron set inventories aren't always right. Kudos if you can find the mistake in 6927's. The technique of whitening parts using hydrogen peroxide, Vanish Crystal White and sunlight really does work. I had some used parts that had gone creamy and the H2O2 method restored them to the shade of new white parts. The technique of using Pledege Multi-Surface Wax to remove scratches from clear parts only works if the abrasions are so fine that they render the clear part cloudy. If you can trace the line of a scratch with the naked eye, Pledge won't help. The glass pieces for the windows were the hardest part to obtain. Two BrickLink sellers in the US independently made exactly the same mistake: they both sent me the wrong size. A seller in the Netherlands sent me the right size but they took 25 days to reach me in the UK. It wasn't the seller's fault. I could see from the postmark that he had sent them right away. They actually were in transit for that long. Congratulations to the Dutch and UK postal systems for being the slowest in the developed world! You can disguise minor flaws in used parts by hiding them in the build. For example, one piece had a mark on it that I couldn't remove, but it really didn't matter as it was buried under another part and can't be seen unless you deconstruct the set. Here are some pictures of the set that I now have in my display collection. Apologies for the rubbish photography. Questions or comments?

Hello everyone! I've been visiting this website for quite some time now, as well as many other Lego related sites. I've been a Lego enthusiast, fan, addict & AFOL, off and on for probably 20 years... I've gone through a couple "dark periods", but i'm finally in it for the duration... Don't know if I have a favorite theme, but I seem to always come back to Classic Castle, Classic Pirates and Classic Space, in no particular order. As far as current themes, my favorite is unquestionably Lord of the Rings / Hobbit.... followed by Pirates of the Caribbean. Others that I've really dug are Aquanauts / Hydronauts / Aqua Raiders, Vikings and Western.... I seem to gravitate towards the, what I describe as, the "escapist" themes... I also really like a lot of the MOC's that I've seen here, and at the Classic-Castle, & Classic Pirates web sites. There sure seems to be a lot of talent here, and one of the main reasons I'm joining up here is that I hope to learn a lot about building my own creations... Looking forward to posting! The Galaxy Explorer

My modest entry to the SHIPtember 2014 challenge: the Common-class Modular Star Hauler Blackbee Length: 126 studs (101cm) Common-class Modular Star Hauler Blackbee by Veynom, on Flickr The Common-class Star Hauler vessels were designed as modular and easy to assemble ships able to transport a lot of different cargo across long distances. Their modular conception allowed for virtually unlimited capacity as modules can be added or removed upon needs. The Blackbee is a nice example carrying 3 container sections and two power rings.

HI all, I started a new LEGO ideas project - a reboot of my favorite toy. Support here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/72716 Current flickr album is here https://www.flickr.c...57645467031607/ I am open to any suggestions for updating this project to be the best Galaxy Explorer reboot possible, bearing in mind that I wish to keep the build simple and the part count as low as possible. I enjoyed the heck out of this set when I was 8 - I would like a reboot to include that age group upwards. Cheers.

The 6841 Mineral Detector was always a favourite set of mine for showcasing the "exploration" side of space. I love the idea of searching new worlds for resources and felt this little guy needed an update. In the spirit of the original I present the neo-classic LL-6841 Mineral Detector V2. I hope you like it - comments / feedback appreciated! The original inspiration:

I'm loving the current "classic space" trend (Benny/ exosuit) and felt it was time to start expanding my NCS fleet. Presenting the concept plans for my next Federation starfighter: LL-129 'CORVUS' Hoping to have this one "brick-built" soon, hope everyone likes it! - As always feedback appreciated.

Anyone seen this yet? I think if he's an important enough character to have his own poster and his own ride, it should be a set. Anyone else hopeful we'll get something like this?

Since the advent of Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! and (soon) LEGO Ideas Exosuit, It seems Classic Space with it's blue/grey/yellow colour scheme and logo is having a great comeback from the 70'ties. Apparently, the Classic Space Madness has also claimed me and my trusty copy of Lego Digital Designer, because I have remade one of my old spaceships to fit in the theme . And so, without any more ado, Ladies and Gentlebricks, I present to you, The N30-C5 Class Gunship: A fine vessel, Isn't she? Please note that It's a NEO Classic-Space MOC, built with many parts that weren't even in concept stage at the Classic Space era. For example the gargantuan canopy, covering the cockpit. Now Speaking of Cockpit...... Here it is, In all it's Trans-Yellow glory, there's a lot of place for the Pilot, the Captain, and an abundance of controlls and blinking lights. Behind Commanders chair, There's a Cargo Bay, and behind it we have...... GUNNERY STATIONS! These twin side cannons are operated by two crew members, and can swivel and rotate. Now I'm thinking, that With some modificatons (adding small rear thrusters), they could be used as detachable scout speeders. These dual plasma cannons can pack quite a punch to some Blacktron ship's hull, but they aren't the most powerful weapon on deck, which is.... The Ion Turret, Here in the delicate female hands of the First Officer. It's devastating firepower (for a gunship, of course), and 360 degrees rotation range, makes N30-C5 a flying space tank. This beastie, if charged to maximum power, can put a hole through a Fregate, but it's better to be careful, and not overcharge it. Other weapons include Flick Fire Torpedoes, Repulsors, Wing guns, and more, to cope with any situation. And no, the blue dome under the trans-yellow dome is not a astromech droid, it's the power shield generator, where do you think we are, Tatooine? ANYWAY, Lets talk about how this beauty moves across the outer space..... And Here we are, at the stern. The imposing Main engine is a masterpiece of engineering, and, It's also equipped with hyperdrive, I won't bore you with numbers and technical mumbo-jumbo, Just want to tell you that this monstrosity of a thruster is powered by a cold fusion reactor, which grants enough speed to flee away from a cluster of Insectoid fighters, not to mention Spyrius Interceptors... Despite It's vast arsenal and thick, titanium alloyed armour, N30-C5 still can meet a tougher adversary. This one particularly has many battle scars and bruises, but this gaping hole through which the reactor is peeking out is a serious problem. It got blown up by some rogue extra-terrestial saucer's blaster. Let's hope that necessary repairs are made as soon as possible. Now, who want's to see the inside of the ship? So, here it is, bird's-eye shot of the ship with removed roof. You can see the cockpit, the cargo bay & weapon storage, the gunnery station, and the reactor chamber. There's a lot of mercantile in the hold, mainly energy crystals traded from a remote M-Tron colony, and alien fossils excavated by some Explorien scientists. You can also see the maintenance robot, recharging it's battery, in other words SLACKING OFF. Get back to work you lazy piece of scrap! That hole in the reactor chamber won't patch itself! Finally, meet the Intrepid Crew! From Left to Right: Captain, Pilot, First Officer, two Gunners, and our lazy robot friend (Sorry for shouting at you, buddy ). I hope you Liked my little trbute to classic Lego Space theme. Goodbye, and have a good day fellow AFOLs. Eggy's out. PS. To any mods around, If my Images are too big please resize them.
