Hu hu, after short introduction, I wanted to present my newest MOC. It's a starfighter, a viper and I am sure it is not the last one. Inspired by T-5 DUOLOS X-Viper by nate_decastro. It was his starfighter version for Starfighter-Telephone-Game. And according to the game, I redesigned it whith some of my ideas. Bigger Pics at Flickr. I hope you like it

This is my spaceship MOC and first post. What should I call it, I'm open for suggestions in the comments, no trolling please. I'm thinking the Euroship. For the people I suspect may ask that is indeed a lending platform from Classic space. This link has the pics. https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing For those of you who want the instructions here they are. Sorry if the LDD version looks different, those are my improvements. Comments? Anyone? Thank you for downloading. Building Instructions Euroship.html

My next Blacktron ship is ready to show, this time it forms off one of those general Vic Viper/starcraft cockpit design ideas that is pictured on FlickR somewhere, with some added folding wings thrown in. Rather fittingly it is the Blacktron Demon, fast, powerful and dark/sleek enough to launch attacks on unsuspecting craft. Given the name and backgrounds, this is one of those crafts that lurks around in the darkest, deepest places in space. A nebula might look fine to explore, but behind it or lurking in the dark near it you never know what is there. Original Yellow Space Shots Enjoy!

Hi, over the last two years I have been designing a new Lego spaceship in LDD 4.3, the Lego model is based on Scorpio from Blake's 7 which was a British Science Fiction series which ran from 1978 to 1981, due to the limits of Lego It is a 80 % accurate, the roof lifts off to reveal the hidden flight deck. The model is 163 studs long, 70 studs wide, 42 studs high ( 50 inches long, 22 inches wide, 12 inches high ), and has 11,981 pieces of Lego Currently redesigning the LDD Lego Scorpio Model to use less slopes and more SNOT Techniques. A side view of Scorpio A rear side view of Scorpio showing the engines The rear of Scorpio, with the two engines The Original Scorpio Model made for the Blake's 7 Series The View behind the transparent Lego revealing the mounting sockets for the custom light units which will be fitted into the built model View of the hidden apartment for the battary box, wiring and the two push to make switches The Front of the custom Lego Switches Rear view of the custom Lego Switch which two small push to make switches will be glued on to the bricks Side view of the Lego Scorpio View of main hatch closed View of main hatch open A view of one of the three weapon systems, with the other twin on the other side of the ship View of the Lego LDD Scorpio legs down View of the Lego LDD Scorpio legs up A view of the third weapon mounted under the hull of Scorpio A view of the top of the LDD Lego Scorpio A close view of the Radar Dish on the Lego LDD Scorpio A another view of the original Model of Scorpio for the Blake's 7 series Scorpio in Space A view of the flight deck with some stair which lead to the upper area and the entrance hatch A view of the flight deck in the Lego LDD Scorpio including the teleport area and front screen The flight deck of Scorpio from Blake's 7 A another view of the flight deck of Scorpio from Blake's 7 A view of the flight deck inside the Scorpio showing Slave (Scorpio's Ship Computer) and some of the middle section of the flight deck A view showing Slave (Scorpio's Ship Computer) Lego Clip Guns ( Chromed Star Wars Blasters), When I start building Scorpio enventually I will custom alter the Blasters to resemble Blake's 7 Clip Guns Blake's 7 Clip Guns View of the Lego Minifigure version of Vila, which will be a custom painted Minfigure View of Vila on Scorpio played by Michael Keating View of the Lego Minifigure version of Dayna, which will be a custom painted Minfigure View of Dayna on Scorpio played by Josette Simon View of the Lego Minifigure version of Soolin, which will be a custom painted Minfigure View of Soolin on Scorpio played by Glynis Barber View of the Lego Minifigure version of Tarrant, which will be a custom painted Minfigure View of Tarrent on Scorpio played by Steven Pacey View of the Lego Minifigure version of Avon, which will be a custom painted Minfigure View of Avon on Scorpio played by Paul Darrow View of Lego version of Orac (Super Computer) Orac in Blake's 7 The assembled Minifigure crew of Scorpio Close up of the LDD Lego Scorpio Crew The crew of Scopio in Blake's 7 The yellow stripe added to the LDD Lego Scorpio One of the recesses showing some pipes Just finished the rebuild of the new version of my LDD Lego Blake's 7 Scorpio Model, so far the rebuild includes just the front section A front view of the rebuilt front section of the LDD Lego Blake's 7 Scorpio A back view of the rebuilt front section of the LDD Lego Blake's 7 Scorpio

Patrolling the galaxy, the Xyster is ready to scrape of some bone from anyone who dares to enter their territories. Build for a sci-fi contest from my Lug: "Build a spaceship, based on an existing story/movie/comic etc." So yes it's based on a X-wing.

Many people looked forward to the new Superman movie <Man of Steel>, but were much disappointed when the movie was not something that they expected. However, I think the first part of the movie about Krypton, the home world of Superman, is quite awesome. The organic high-tech kind of design looks very interesting without being too overwhelming or too different from human's world. Too bad that Lego's Man of Steel series only have the dropship and escape pod, and I think the awesome attack ship by General Zod should also be included. This time, like I did The Bat last time, I bought the movie book to study what this plane really is before starting the brick building. I couldn't believe that it only had one page about this ship, with only this blurry image: This type of ship only appears once in the movie, in which General Zod came to Jor-el's place to stop him from sending Superman to Earth. I have trimmed that little bit of the movie, and see if it helps you recall what I am going to show you. After nearly 2 months I finally completed the model, and it was featured too in the recent Hong Kong Lego exhibition "Bricks Adventure 2013". Now, here is the overall view of what the Man of Steel series should be! Close-up of the cockpit. There is no glass, and with the Krypton technology, why do you need to see the outside? Haha! Also, check the guns at the front, which can be adjusted for different angles. They are the weapons blowing off Jor-el's place... Inside the cockpit, one Kryptonian can be fitted in. The attack ship is basically a bigger dropship, transferring warriors to the battlefield. The center part is empty, and you can fit around 8 soldiers here... The most complicated and difficult part is the wings, which is also the prominent feature of this ship. I guess they take the idea from insects. Each side of the wings have 3 members, each can then be rotated to adjust flight position. I fixed the innermost two parts, leaving only 4 of them being adjustable. Also, the 3 members can be opened outwards or packed together. The concept for all these rotated blades of engines is for the control of flight direction. If the plane is moving forward, the engines along the blades (green parts) will face backwards. If it needs to slow down, the wings will flip to the front, like this: (you can see that in the clip above too) If it needs to stay in the air, the engines (green parts) will face downwards. This is a shot of the back, which features a pair of engine too. Different rows of engines will be turned on depending on the moving direction of the plane (as you can see in the clip) Okay now you know how the wings work. Time to land and find Superman! There are quite some design considerations during the development. I decided to keep the same kind of color and form that the original Lego series had set up, but at the same time I had to follow what the movie had designed (the dropship was not completely like the original!). It is quite a struggle. In the movie, there is no green color, but I prefer what Lego did with the green color, since it is what Kryptonite is like in the comics. Also, I keep the details from the dropship: tan base plates, shooting missiles...etc. The hardest part is the pair of wings. I have redesigned it four times, trying to keep the same design and form but making it lighter so that the hinges can withstand the long blades. Now it is slightly supported too by the top part of the plane, which is okay for now. I may improve it by using some Technic pieces later. Now everything is set, the Kryptonian war begins!

Hello everyone ! Here's my latest MOC, built with LDD, and it is called... the WASP (but I think you guessed that). Why ? I don't know, I like this name, I think it suits well a spaceship. This kind of ship is mainly use for recon missions, it doesn't have any weapons, and is really fast, thanks to it's powerful engine. There's only one pilot, which takes place in the cockpit. I've built two "versions" of this ship, with only minor changes (free cookie if you find the differences ). BRICKSHELF The brickshelf folder isn't public yet, but you can download the .lxf file to see the WASP in detail. Thanks for reading, C&C are very welcome ! :) WASP.lxf

Hi, New member here. This is my first LEGO creation made in LDD. In the future I hope to make the "real thing"... Anyway, it's a ship that, as far as I know, nobody has done before and after finish it I can understand why! There are some details like the piping that are not 100% accurate because of the scale and the "disponible LEGO pieces" but I'm happy with overall result. Thanks for watching!

Title of Set: 6956 Stellar Recon Voyager Theme: Space/M-Tron Year Released: 1990 Piece Count: 233 Minifigures: 2 Original Price: $36 (USD), Unknown (EUR), Unknown (GBP) Current Prices: BrickLink Price Guide Further Information: Brickset, Lugnet, Peeron, Photobucket Album As the seemingly everlasting conflict between the Space Police and Blacktron factions spread like wildfire throughout the galaxy, causing devastation and despair in its wake, M-Tron decided they needed a more formidable ship that offered a significant amount of protection to their cargo in these contested regions of space. This ship was named the Stellar Recon Voyager and is the largest ship in M-Tron’s fleet, featuring a fair amount of armaments and a reinforced armored hull that allowed M-Tron to transport their cargo through such areas of space with much greater ease. Author's Notes: Officially Secret Space Voyager is the largest M-Tron ship but I only count actual sets. Secret Space Voyager is merely an instruction manual that uses pieces from other M-Tron sets, much like "set" 6861 for the Blacktron 2 subtheme. On top of that, I think the final product looks like some sort of abomination, somewhat like Frankenstein but in space. And with magnets... Also, this will likely be my last review on a vintage/classic set as I don't have the funds to continue buying both new and old sets. I hope you all enjoy the review and that you have many magnet-happy days. Instructions: Cover: Page: The instruction manual does not differ in style compared to the other manuals found in this subtheme. It contains 16 steps in total, with the second and third pages displaying how the minifigs, buggy, and large container are built. The rest of the pages are focused on building the Stellar Recon Voyager itself. Minifigures: The standard M-Tron minifig showcasing the usual garb and equipment. Accessories: As with many of the M-Tron sets, the Stellar Recon Voyager does not include much in the way of accessories. These included accessories are the usual megaphone, helmets, air tanks, scanner/laser cutter, socket wrench/flashlight, wrench, and radio (not shown). The Prints: A fair amount of printed pieces are bundled in this set, many of which displaying the proud M-Tron logo in all of its glory. Translucent Pieces: Here we have a wide variety of translucent pieces that can, and will, certainly come in handy. These include: ten 1 x 1 round plates, four cones, four dishes, four antennae, two boosters, two visors, one canopy extender, and, lastly, one sleek canopy. Unique Pieces: The translucent neon green windscreen canopy extender, 3 x 6 M-Tron slope, and red window outward sloping pieces are all unique to this set. An honorable mention goes to the 2 x 2 M-Tron slope that is only found in two other sets: 6923 Particle Ionizer and 5154 Decorated Elements. Unlike the 3 x 6 slope, it has a textured surface. Wheels & Magnets: This set includes four common rubber wheels that were found in many sets of this era. However, for magnets, TLG includes eight (yes, you read that right) magnets! That’s more than the Mega Core Magnetizer, which weighs in at only seven magnets. There’s no denying that this is truly a set designed for the M-Tron faction. Small Storage Container: As per other M-Tron sets, two small storage containers are included. Each container is given a magnet and some treasure in the form of a single 1x1 translucent neon green round plate. Large Storage Container: Front: Fairly uneventful at this viewpoint. It does share a design plan similar to the one used in the Mega Core Magnetizer with, perhaps, the most noticeable difference being that the middle consists of two blacks pieces rather than two red pieces. Side Closed: Shot of the print commonly used with M-Tron’s large containers. Side Open: The right and left sides of the container are identical, consisting of a red fence piece and nothing else. The excess accessories are dumped in rather than attached to anything, which I find disappointing. The large containers found in the Mega Core Magnetizer and Particle Ionizer are both more creative in their design and offer a larger amount of features. A small container can fit inside of this large container but the red fence needs to be removed first, and then reattached after the small container is in place. To remove the scanner accessory, the same needs to be done (and it also isn't very easy to shove it in without removing the red fence first). Top of Large Storage Container: Here we see the top consisting of the all-important magnet, two red grilles, and two 1x4 red SNOT pieces. This is an improvement over the Mega Core Magnetizer containers which only had a magnet and two black grilles. Underside of Large Storage Container: The underside is a simple red 4x6 plate. The Buggy: Ain’t it just the cutest thing? Like in the Mega Core Magnetizer, the buggy has its very own magnet which allows it to attach to the front of the ship. I’ll have some comments concerning this placement in the following category. This is also the only buggy within this subtheme to have a steering wheel, likely because it is also the only buggy where the driver is standing rather than sitting. All others use computer panel tiles instead. Completed without Minifigures: Overview: And here is why I commented on the location of the buggy - simply put, it severely impacts the aesthetics of the set in such a negative way and looks like the designer(s) tacked its placement on at the last minute of the design phase. Now, with that out of the way, let us head onto some of the good bits. Moving down the ship, we see how much of a focal point that 3 x 6 M-Tron slope is, partly due to the two beautiful black corner pieces that make up the cargo bay. The translucent neon green pieces act as excellent accent pieces to the bold black and red color scheme, and help bring some flare into the design. Lastly, as you likely have already noted, each side of the ship can hold one of the small containers. Top-down View: This view shows off the printed M-Tron 2 x 2 tiles on each wing, as well as various details that may be hard to see in other views. Front View with Buggy Attached: For some reason, the Stellar Recon Voyager reminds me of a bumblebee from this viewpoint. It has an interesting profile thanks to the cargo bay design. Front View without Buggy Attached: Ah, it looks much better without the buggy attached. For those that are curious, a small container does fit in this spot but it will kind of hang out as the black plate and white 2 x 1 printed tile are in its way. However, these two pieces can be easily removed. Side View: This image shows a couple of canopy positions, with the position at the left being the farthest the canopy can open. Notice the lovely 1 x 4 red fences pieces that help construct the cockpit and, thus, add plenty of areas where the cockpit is open to space. Definitely makes a lot of sense for a spacecraft... in Bizarro world! Nearby, there is a black door on either side of the ship. I have no idea why those were used rather than black bricks since the doors open up into the empty cockpit area. While building this set, I was hoping that the doors would have a lovely equipment room behind them, but my dreams were crushed when I finished the build. Back Loaded: The large container fits perfectly into the cargo bay. Since the large containers in the Mega Core Magnetizer set are the same size as this one, they fit as well. The container in the Particle Ionizer set also fits, even without removing its antenna. Back Emptied: As can be seen, there is a one-block wide passageway on either side of the crane assembly, which, again, leaves the cockpit area open to space. This could've been filled easily enough so I am not sure why TLG designed it this way. Still, the design of the cargo bay is well-done as I have to admit that the four red angle pieces that form the walls of the cargo bay look great and make the whole area feel grandeur. Back Loading: Since the crane consists of a single hinge, it does not actually extend but rather just tilts forward; however, this causes no issues when loading small and large containers. The base of the crane has no ability to rotate due to obvious reasons regarding the design of the cargo bay. I don't know if it is because my set isn't new, but the crane's hinge cannot keep the crane in position when the large container is connected. Instead, it droops down to the floor unless the crane is in its resting place. Crane Closeup: The left image displays the crane tucked away in its cubbyhole. In the image to the right, the crane is nearly all the way "extended". Cockpit closeup: The cockpit is large enough to comfortably fit the two M-Tron minifigs, and consists of a steering wheel and control panel. That's it. Not even a single seat. For a $36 set that has a low piece count, I definitely think that this area should have some furnishings. Note: my set was missing two 1 x 1 black tiles which go on either side of the 3 x 4 red wedge plate. In their place I used red tiles since I didn't have any black tiles on hand. Completed with Minifigures: Ready for Takeoff: A total of four minifigs fit into the cockpit. Quite impressive and eerily creepy. Out with the Old, In with the New: All Work and No Play...: Reviewer's Score: Playability: 9.1/10 – I’ve always enjoyed sets that include flying and land-based vehicles as it offers variation. There are also a decent amount of containers to transport around. The ship itself is sturdy and not overly large, thus making it easily swooshable. Design: 7.7/10 – I appreciate the overall design as it fits in with the M-Tron sets and subtheme, as well as earning its own unique presence in the fleet. I dislike the buggy placement as I feel that the front of the spacecraft is not a place where it should be placed and it seems like TLG ran out of areas to attach it to. The second area that I believe could’ve been designed better is the cockpit as it is a bit void of detail and the fence pieces do not make a whole lot of sense as one would think that keeping the oxygen inside the canopy would be a wise precaution. Same applies to the two gaps leading to the cargo bay. Price: 6.9/10 – This set only has a few more pieces than Particle Ionizer (233 vs. 203), but it does have eight magnets which are expensive compared to regular blocks. And the three containers add to the value of this set as well. As such, this set isn’t that bad of a deal but I think it could’ve been better. Total: 23.7/30 – An enjoyable set for the M-Trons that not only serves its function of bolstering the M-Tron fleet, but fills a gap that was previously present in this subtheme. While it does have a few design flaws and was a tad expensive in its day, if you enjoy the M-Tron faction then I suggest picking it up as it can be purchased quite cheaply; although, if you don't already own Particle Ionizer then I highly recommend purchasing that set instead since it is superior in many ways.

Hi all...i'm not a very active user over here but i appreciate the overall quality of moc's i see on this forum, so i wanted to share my latest creation: The white Dragon It started out to be a GARC racer but i liked the overall shape so good with just one pilot in the cabin that i couldn't break it apart ;) It's in some way inspired by manga mechas (the red wings and little antennas etc...) and was mostly build with exoforce and space police parts (plus some orders on bricklink for the final details) Actually the engine was meant to be something much bigger (http://www.flickr.co...157632734552194) , but i couldn't fit the hull around it so it had to shrink (and that was good). The white dragon is a mercenary class ship, super fast to transport his bounty hunter in every possible corner of the galaxy as fast as possible. (Here it is resting on it's refuel base) I hope you'll like it: Have a look at the whole set here: any comments&critics appreciated ;) (and sorry for the bad pictures..i need to get me some proper equipment to take better shots)

The Valix is a (space)ship out of my personal story. This is as close as I could get to it with my current Lego parts. I'm far from satisfied with the looks yet, so expect more versions of it sometime when I bought more Lego haha! XD Around the time I'm writing this I've already taken it apart again, but I'd like to show it anyway. Here's a full view: Other angles: Some detail shots of the bridge and the engine core: I also gave it two hatches in the front to hide the guns. You can slide them out with the help of a slider I made on the bottom. Well not much else to say except thanks for looking! If you have any critique's or suggestions I'd love to hear them, so the next Valix can become even better. I'm still a little new to Lego so any advice is welcome.

Built sporadically over the course of several months. Kept losing interest in the design.
