LEGO Universe MOC - Venture Koi spaceship and Nexus Force faction founder minifigures - real world models
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
The microscale Venture Koi spaceship (that's the red vessel in background, minus the white stand parts) from the LEGO Universe cinematic trailer is complete, and so are the Nexus Force faction leader's mini figures. "Answer the call, and save Imagination!" The rear of the Venture Koi space exploration vessel. From left to right we have the four leaders, representing their respective factions: - Vanda Darkflame, ninja of Paradox faction - Hael Storm, captain of Venture League faction - Duke Exeter, knight of Sentinel faction - Dr. Overbuild, master-builder of Assembly faction Notes on the build: The ship's design in this scale was originally from in-game rocket, but modified to be buildable and with the seat removed. Also, I had been waiting ten years to make this ship in real life, and the new ratchet joint bricks in the Optimus Prime set made it possible to finally build the Venture Koi in the real world. I am also happy I was able to get the founders built as close as I did to their in-game counterparts, as they originally used custom parts / prints never available in the real world. Thoughts / comments / concerns appreciated! -
I started this last SHIPtember, but it actually took me a long while to finish it and have all the pics rendered. [MOC] Venture Koi by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr I chose to basically make an upscaled version of the iconic Venture Koi from the Universe MMO since it's been (now more) 10 years since its closure. I managed to roughly follow the same proportions, but getting it to be at least 100 studs long meant the front section was the one that got stretched the most, and I really enjoyed doing a mix of adding more greebles and upscaling some of the original ones, especially in the engines.

[MOC] Venture Koi - Pods by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr [MOC] Venture Koi - Pods by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr As for the ship's interior, that's where I had a lot of creative freedom since we only ever saw part of the bridge in the opening story cinematic, with Hael's Imagimeter and the shards searching for Planet Crux. I added the chairs, and I did the planet hologram display at the back as a reference to Duke's Crux Prime hologram in his room in Nexus Tower. [MOC] Venture Koi - Bridge by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr behind the bridge is where the crew quarters are located, with beds, kitchen, bathroom, and a roundtable for the 4 explorers, and then there's 2 sets of stairs that lead to the rear section of the ship and the cargo hold with (crew-coloured) crates. [MOC] Venture Koi - Cargo Hold & Quarters by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr In this rear section is where you'll find the engine room and the 2 tube entrances for the pods. The Venture Explorer and Nexus Tower's interiors were a big inspiration for the overall look. [MOC] Venture Koi - Engine Room by Admiraltyphoon, on Flickr Time management issues aside, I'm really satisfied with how everything came so well together, and I hope one day I get to build this in actual bricks.
