    [SPC] Cat C - The Rustbucket

    Captain Fishbone wept as he flew over the once prosperous Caribbean seas. His crew had abandoned him, leaving him with nothing but one ship, his modified flying tugboat called the Rustbucket. My entry to the Eurobricks Space Pirates Contest 'Rum for everybody!' category The Ship is based on Bdubs' fantastic flying tugboat Minecraft build in his Building with Bdoubleo series. https://flic.kr/p/2pB76a5

    [SPC] Cat B - Sandy Rock

    Space Pirate version of 6254 Rocky Reef. The seas dried out centuries ago. Blue ocean crystals are the last reminder of what once was. Pirates never left the surroundings of this secret hiding place. Two members of MetalBeard 9000's fearsome crew arrive in a sandspeeder and are seen storing a mysterious liquid in the fortified underground safe...

    [SPC] Cat A - Rogue Crew

    From the depths of space comes...the Rogue Crew! Ostrich by masterdata449, on Flickr Ostrich is supposed to be the crew's navigator, but he they will get nowhere if he keeps turning his navigational sextant into a laser sword. Until the crew picked him up, he was second in command of the Ostrich Island Savages, but he gave up his position when the Space Troll offered to style his Mohawk. Venom Clown by masterdata449, on Flickr The Venom Clown is part cyborg, but that doesn't inhibit his behavior- he "clowns around" whenever he can! Even so, when the Rogues need to fight, he rushes to the forefront of battle...just to tease his opponents. He's quite shocked that most of his opponents find him freaky- all he wants is a good laugh! Gabooka by masterdata449, on Flickr Gabooka is the weapons expert amongst the Rogues. Although this makes him one of the most valuable assets to the team, he still wears the poor clothes of his home country. Probably so his expensive sets don't catch fire in battle. Captain R'o G'u by masterdata449, on Flickr Captain R'o G'u is the captain of the pirates...erm, Rogues. He insists on the the term 'Rogue,' especially since those with the title "Pirate" don't usually have a good ending. The Captain lost his lower tenta-tails years ago, but he replaced them with a robotic zero-G propulsion system and new tenta-tails. In space, no law-abiding citizen can stand in battle against R'o G'u! Space Troll by masterdata449, on Flickr They have a Cave Troll...erm, Space Troll! The Space Troll lost his left arm in battle on his home planet, but Gabooka replaced it for him sans the thumb, even with a built in blow-dryer for Ostrich's Mohawk. I ran out of time for the group shot, but I can always add it later if my entry gets picked for Round Two. EDIT:
  4. Here's my entry, apologies for the slightly poor images, it was raining quite a bit here in sunny ol' England so pics were taken inside... Anyway: Just when the Galactic Armada had thought they had seen the last of them, Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits had been sighted again in the South-Eastern Sector bringing chaos and terror from their Frigate-Class Gunboat, the 9-Legged Octopus.

His short carer ended abruptly when he couldn't contain one of his 'experiments' with cloning humans and ended up mutating himself. With the aid of fellow doctor Keith Hazbin, he managed to stop quite a few of his detached organs and limbs from throwing themselves out of the window and built a metal suit to contain himself. Since his throwing out of one of the Armada's capital ship's airlocks, he now proceeds to lead a campaign against human beings being fired out of airlocks. Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Second mate, Andy Royd followed his captain's path and decided that cyborg was the way to go. One day he entered IronHeart's 'surgery' a young man with great ideas. He left more machine than man... Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Crazy Jim the Unlucky had always been slightly an oddball, from his pet fish he carried around with him with it's own H2O tank, to his strange delusions about world domination.

As well as aiding the captain in his 'experiments', F1X is also modified with eye-embedded MusketBeams and top-of-the-range Cannon-Bombs, making the droid something to be worried about. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Opinions and feedback most welcome!
  5. So, I only found out about this contest yesterday, but I manged to smash this together over two days, something I wouldn't recommend. In my scene, a recently crashed cargo ship (Actually counts as a SHIP, as it's a bit over 100 studs), is being pilfered by a troupe of churlish pirates, complete with dilapidated space skiffs and assorted mechanisms. And I would imagine that the low gravity on the planet allows for the completely unnatural skew of the cargo ship. It's not the best thing I've built, but given the time constraints, I think it's alright.
  6. A not so long time ago, colonisation had just begun on a planet not that far away with a barely breathable yet windy atmosphere. After a few research and exploration outpost, a second organisation had just established its base. Initially peaceful relations soured over the newcomers intrusive curiosity, disappearing equipment and their refusal to tell what they came for in the first place. The reservations were mutual. Acting like they own the place just because they were here first?! Ha! Exploration and research -- digging and blowing up things! Do they know what they are doing? They almost forced us to eavesdrop on them! And then they even send the police after us just because one of their generators disappeared. Of course, these troubles seem like peanuts now, after the fateful earthquake. Water was breaking through from the nearby mountains, quickly flooding our base. Just when all space-worthy friendly ships were far away, and probably not in a position to quickly come to rescue! Our only glider offered only weak propulsion and mild levitation that did not even work on water. We almost decided to ask those pesky guys in colorful uniforms for help, but who knows what they would have done? (Send the police after us on trumped up charges? Maybe they would have blamed the earthquake on us? Hey, maybe they caused it? Well, at least they managed not to talk about it on the airwaves, and it seemed they were hit, too.) So there was only one sensible way forward: Scrap the base, build a ship out of it, roam the new sea to see how the other guys could finally help us. Whether they want it or not, arrr! "Hey, whose locker is that? You were not supposed to bring personal belongings to the station!" "Erm...which station?" "Don't make fun of me! What is this? What could you possibly need a sword for?! And this!? A ...crossbow?" "Yes?!..." "Ok, I see..." Personal backstory: Late last year, my parents wanted to refurbish their guest room -- my old room -- and handed me my Lego collection in a box. Also, my daughter got her first Lego - a small princess set. My dark ages thus ended only earlier this year, when I tried to (ab)use my old Ice Planet and Futuron sets to create something resembling an ice castle. I found the results unconvincing, but my daughter liked them and was happy to expand them, rainbow warrior style. Interestingly, when we looked through my collection and I asked here what we could do with it, she asked me to build the Message Intercept Base! And so I did, and she played with it a few times (not spacecraft launches or anything, rather people walking around and making telephone calls or something), and I tried to remember little me playing with it. I drew a blank. I remember I liked the base when I got it - it was my largest set - but it was the only Blacktron I in my collection and so I probably neglected it a bit. I also remember not liking that the opening mechanism did not really serve a purpose (I eventually owned, and preferred, the Cosmic Laser Launcher), and that there were only three trans-yellow corner panels, so one could not build an airtight control tower thing out of it. So, back in the (almost) present, I again thought about what to build out of the MIB parts, and how to integrate it with princesses or at least the castle sets my wife had recently "aquired" from her parents' attic. It just so happens that the above is my first MOC as an adult based on some serious thought beforehand. In fact, I had the idea with the quarter-dome-as-sail and hull-made-of-panels and side-support-quarter-panels some time before I came across this forum, but it was the SPC that prompted me to actually build it. Hope you like the result!
  7. Presenting Capt. Fist and his hearty crew of cosmic corsairs! Their infamy as ruthless scallawags is spread all across the galaxy, and while it has earned them the ire of the Imperial police, it has also earned their fear--few be they who dare to tangle with this motley crew. Many a ship there be that has surrendered at the first sound of even so much as a warning shot from Capt. Fist...Which is exactly how he and his crew like it. After all, the best fight is the one you win just by having a scary reputation. Of course, they still fight when they have to, committing a massacre here or there and leaving only a few survivors--to tell the stories of course. What's the use of being fearsome if you kill off everyone who might spread the word of fear for you? Besides, once word has got out that a pirate has gone soft, it's nothing but work, work, work all the time. Truth be told, however, they like quick surrenders because that leaves more time for their favorite game, pirate's dice. On to the crew! Sloroth the Savage First mate Sloroth was always scary: his scaly skin, red eyes, and scraggly mustache were menacing enough, let alone the two pulse pistols he wields with deadly accuracy. But the problem was, he was just...Sloroth. That is, until Capt. Fist suggested adding "the Savage" to his name, after which his fame as a bloodthirsty blackheart spread like wildfire. Speaking of wildfire... Fogo Chen Chen is a bit of a gearhead, which is a good thing as he has had to build himself prosthetics after burning off so many of his actual limbs. He is also, as is probably evident, obsessed with fire, which occasionally leads to mixed results. He helped design and build Capt. Fist's ship, the Flying Fist; fireproofing was high on the list of necessary design features. Arsenica Starstriker Arsenica never leads anything to chance; she is a meticulous planner, and is stubborn enough and determined enough to see that everything goes according to that plan. She is the crew's navigator, and is also tough as nails. No one is quite sure how she, being human, is able to breathe in space without a helmet, but she isn't about to let something like asphyxiation get in her way, is she? While her weapon of choice is a light phase cannon, she also loves tossing tetra bombs as well. Gnaark the Unhinged When it comes to reputation, Gnaark's name says it all--and those blades back it up. Slightly Generally unstable, it is the one no one wants to sit next to during a round of dice, and everyone makes sure the rum is on the opposite side of the table from it at all times. Manahu Not a member of the crew, but a loyal ally to Capt. Fist, Manahu is the leader and shaman of his people. He and Capt. Fist were first allied fighting a common enemy, and soon became friends. He can summon spirits and other cosmic forces through the oracle he carries in a glass sphere. In return for Capt. Fist's assistance to his people, he granted unto the captain a special gift. And last of all, Capt. Abraham J. Fist Capt. Fist is a merciless villain who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of gold and other valuables. Before he met Manahu, he was a decent enough pirate, save for his poor eyesight--one of the problems that come with having a head less than one stud tall, you know? But Manahu gifted him with a companion from the spirits--a crow. Once summoned, the bird leapt to Capt. Fist's chest and immediately began to peck out his tiny eyes. After a moment of panic, the captain realized the sensation he felt was not pain, but clarity: his eyes gone, his vision was the bird's own. Now he can not only gain a greater perspective of the scene during the heat of battle, but he is even better at picking out gold and other shiny objects.

    [SPC] Cat C - The Flying Fist

    Of all of the pirate vessels roaming the Caribbean galaxy, perhaps none is more notorious or feared than the Flying Fist. Flying Fist - polling image by rodiziorobs, on Flickr Captained by the merciless Capt. Fist and his bloody band, the Flying Fist has defeated the Imperial police on countless attempts. The most notable episode (the one most retold in drunken song in taverns 'round the galaxy) involves twenty Nova-class Imperial cruisers, an asteroid field, a well-timed disruptor blast and a very angry Terrillian Ape. The Flying Fist is a small craft and very swift. Its main engines are three medium-weight Magellan thrusters, which have been modified to withstand extreme energy capacities. The reason for this modification is the custom da Gama suprasorb energy sails; originally developed for power generation from solar energy, they have been specially treated with ionic tetraflutamine to increase their energy absorption from all spectra. While this process also strengthened the normally fragile sails against physical blasts, it means that rather than doing damage, energy or laser shots--especially direct hits--actually supercharge the fuel cells, to then be used to power any of the ship's systems--the engines, the cannons, the shields, etc. The ship actually gets stronger the more hits it takes. Armaments include small rockets, countermeasures, targeting missile systems, and of course each crew member's own personal arsenal. But the big guns are the three heavy phase disruptors on either side of the ship. They fire concentrated alternating energy beams that can rip right through even armored ship hulls, and can usually weaken shields sufficiently enough to let the other weapons do the rest of the work. Other ship features include two flight decks, on-board controls for energy and weapons management, nav center, lower positional thrusters, and that sweet alien skull on the stern to strike fear into the hearts of those lily-livered Imperials! See the crew, Capt. Fist's Bloody Band, my entry for Category A. See more photos of the Flying Fiston my Flickr page. There are also more further below. Check out the rest of my creations on Flickr ****** A couple of notes and a few pictures With this ship, I wanted to give it a feeling of a Chinese junk, with the square decks and battened sails, and also use a non-traditional color scheme. It does not feature a full interior (that's taken up by the cannons), but the front of the lower half of the ship holds the navigation center, and the top half is easily removed, being attached by only a few studs (yet it is still pretty strong and swooshable!) The entire lower half of the ship is built upside-down. I wanted to avoid treating the underside as an afterthought, so I tried to include some good detail on there as well, but this meant I had to build a base for it to stand on.
  10. More and bigger pics can be found here on Flickr. Allow me to present to you the Imperial Camouflaged Hideout. In a never-ending story of plunder, trade, conflict, exploitation and yohohos, there be pirates, civilians & soldiers. The pirates are always wanting to steal something, the soldiers aren't always squeaky clean, and the emperor wants peace (& personal riches) within the empire, but will expand it at ANY cost. No one really cares about the civilians, they're boring. Kids want action, and battle-in-a-box is better when it's just the guys with weapons. But we'll throw in a few creatures for fun. So the emperor has sent his soldiers to a remote land where there is talk of potentially high-value commodity hidden in the terrain. There's not really anything much in the way of a local population since the previous colonisation failed, besides native creatures, so it's first-in-best-dressed. The imperial navy is dispatched to keep the place protected from any other interested parties, but these bands of smugglers with their latest technologies are virtually impossible to keep away. One particular small outpost is a base for a line of communication. Using materials already located in the area, the soldiers have attempted to camouflage their hideout to avoid detection. It's a strategic position for anyone wishing to take advantage of the hidden wealth nearby. This small outpost currently has 3 soldiers on location. 1 is stationed above in a lookout position, the other 2 are within, awaiting orders while alert to potential action. But their efforts to hide aren't enough, as a band of piratical smugglers quickly closes in. 2 smugglers come from one side, a 3rd from the other with his sights on the lookout guard, while a 4th mans the hi-tech cannon from a small craft nearby. A small cache of golden treasure is currently hidden, but for how long? Could this be the end for these imperial soldiers? Comparing the 2 styles: Other details: I have tried to use only colours available from the period for the classic pirates scene, apart from the foliage. All browns & greys are the old type. Conversely all colours for the space pirates scene are the new type. The classic scene was built first, then the space scene was built to resemble it, with an attempt to keep it as similar as possible without making it look unnatural. Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy it. It was fun to put this together.
  11. More & bigger pics here. Allow me to introduce these Pirates: Band of Mechfists (yes, very bad pun). Solar-sailing the seven galacseas in search of booty (of the treasure variety), bounty (of the financial variety), booty (of the female anatomical variety), bounty (of the chocolate variety), booty (of the woollen footwear variety) & bounty (of the ocean-going variety). Your typical pirate band consists of much variagation (unlike the uniformed appearance of navies, policing-types & organised smuggler syndicates), so let's meet these scurvy galacsea-dogs. Sweet Kissy Rupert Lethal. His left arm is a freaking laser, what do you expect? Also his right arm is longer than that of the law, so that's handy. Sweet Kissy Rupert has been programmed to serve his enemies. To the space sharks. Unfortunately for the sharks, their fodder often arrives as a burnt offering. It's that laser, you see. Sweet Kissy Rupert was originally found on the doorstep of a mechospital still in his box. By a ruthless space pirate. Who knows what a lovely bot he may have built up to be had the staff been paying attention at the time, instead of watching Desperate Hosewires on the foyer TV. Siliconbeard the Pirate Every band of pirates needs a typical captain. Well, these guys have a head in a captain's bicorne + some mechanical bits. Siliconbeard does sport a jolly roger & parrot at least. Whilst fake eye, fake hand & fake leg are usually the deal, this guy doesn't have much of his original self left. Makes him even more cranky, especially when they try to board a ship without access ramps installed. Just look at those dark patches around his eyes, steer well clear before he's had his morning rum latte. Gurinder Pablo DeChangsen-Jones Well in every alien group there's got to be a token human. Usually for comedic effect, or because someone has to die at some point of the movie. Gurinder is a typical male Earthling as pure a breed as you can get here in the 33rd century, his name being proof of his pure-blood noble ancestry for centuries. But the main thing is that his gun shoots blue lasers, and that is cool. Collect all sets and action figures. Once hired by mercenaries to steal a comic, he actually took one from a shop, and delivered it by hand a few minutes later. It was a slippery slope, within a decade he had broken at least 2 laws and had thought about bending another. Then at the age of 20, he was to be incarcerated for shooting 9 billion fellow Antarcticans with a nuclear missile from a remote space station, but the fallout wiped out the entire population of Earth so he chose a life of travel. With space pirates. Will Turncoat The only thing cooler than robot skeletons is ghost robot skeletons. This guy Will defected from the Universal Navy after a few territorial disputes leading to computer massacres left him disillusioned. More cybernetic parts replaced his dying organic parts and after a few hundred years only his ghost remains. Sworn to never rest until the navy has been completely erradicated, it looks like he's going to be around for a while, because this lot are up against a few million fleets. That, and he fights with a cutlass. No problem vs organic beings, but against space ships, a sword isn't hugely effective. (Unless perhaps you throw it down a fortuitous air vent that causes a chain reaction to blow up the entire structure, win the battle and get a medal from a hot chick, who is your sister but you don't know that yet.) Kon-Sol Worz Someone has to have a hook for a hand, and how much better than a glowing red left hook can you get? A few jabs and a good uppercut would round things out nicely, but Kon-Sol has his other hand full with a semi-demi-automatic shock pulse laser. By semi-demi, it sorta means that you have to actually press a trigger before everyone starts dying. It's not like Scott from X-Men, whose eyes are destroying everything (except his magic glasses) automatically. He is ripped though, so if it came down to it he could tear off your head in hand-to-hand combat. He's also been known to not let the wookiee win. Rebootstrap Bill He flies. He has laser guns on his cyber-crutches. His body contains 2% organic tissue. I think it's just that space-chicken he swallowed the other night by accident though. Bill loves nothing more than to put his foes in Davey Jones' locker. And steal their lunch money. And a quick wedgie for good measure, but being legless (and nerveless) himself, he doesn't see what the fuss is about.
