Wow, so much to unpack here, and all of it outstanding! The use of those inverted wedges for the treads is quite ingenius, as is the small bay in between the tracks. Also, aside from the main vehicle (which is impressive on its own right), the mech and speeder are a really cool addition. That spacecraft (starfighter?) is spectacular though! The entire thing makes me pine for a modern LEGO reboot of Ice Planet 2002. Anyway, I love the attention to detail displayed in pretty much every aspect of this MOC, right down to the display base for both the crew and the vehicle itself. Chapeau!

Having faced a few of these on the table-top, I have to say I love this! Really good work on the base as well!

Thank you, Space Police XVIII and pombe! The ME designation used to denote said aircraft company, but I decided to make up the company "Mécanique Du Elwinsen" for originality purposes. Also, thanks for the great advice, pombe! I definitely could use more work on colour blocking! As I read your comment, some parts of the MOC just lit up where I definitely should have done some palette swaps, so thank you for pointing that out! I'm also in the process of planning out a few micro space MOCs; however, I don't know if I want to do micro strike craft or capital ships.

Hello Eurobricks Sci-Fi forum! This is my first MOC post on the site, and as such, I would like to post the MOC that won the "Best Medium Spacecraft" category at Brickfair VA 2019. Without further ado, I present the ME-408 Asterion starfighter, a multi-role space superiority and planetary/fleet defense strike craft. It is designed for rapid deployment either via capital ship ordinance launch tubes or planetary defense launch silos, and as such lacks traditional landing gear. Design-wise, this project began using leftover bits that were originally slated to upgrade one of my other starfighters but ended up going unused. I took a lot of inspiration, at least in combat role design, from the Saber of Halo: Reach and the Vipers of Battlestar Galactica; thus, I wished to design a starfighter that would be sortied more like a missile or torpedo rather than a traditional sci-fi strike craft. Also, I apologize for the less than perfect pictures; my camera abilities are a work in progress, as is setting up an area with proper lighting. Rest assured, I will endeavor to greatly improve my MOC photos on subsequent posts. A little fun fluff info from the work-in-progress sci-fi universe I've invented for all of my LEGO space creations: ME-408 Asterion -Pilot: Veronica Bianchi, call sign "Minerva" -Classification: Space Superiority/Defense Fighter -Manufacturer: Mécanique Du Elwinsen -Operator: Terran Federation Navy -Propulsion: 5 Sanderson Engineering custom fusion torch arrays with electro-magnetic thrust vectoring and acceleration, 2 Böhrs light gravimetric drive maneuvering units, maneuvering microthrusters -Powerplant: Böhrs IL-6 strike fighter H-3 fusion core -FTL: None -Primary Armament: 2 Hershel, Kiesel, and Rhône particle beam-lance cannons, 2 HKR turbo particle beam-lance cannons -Secondary Armament: 8 "Minotaur" General Purpose, High-Yield Missiles mounted in dorsal secondary engine pods -Defense: TFN Class-7 duranium hull-plating laced with kinetic energy capacitor circuitry, LizBeth Industries “Rollotor” regenerative EM deflector field generator -Detection & Communication: Böhrs "Vision" Mk. 4 sub-space sensor suite with basic weaponry targeting lasers and EM-spectrum optics array, basic sub-space radio -Landing Gear: Reinforced foot pads integrated with primary fusion torch thrust vectoring array Thank you for giving this creation a look! Any feedback would be welcome, especially with regard to better building design tips! I know one area in which I lack skill is in greebling, and most of my creations display this, as I tend to avoid even attempting to build/place any greebling.

Hello Eurobricks forum users, my name is Erik! I have been slowly coming out of a dark age of over ten years, and came to find my old online haunts either nonexistent or nearly uninhabited. I used to be a regular on the Classic Space forums ages ago, and was sad to find out that it was no longer. With MOCPages being a ghost town, and finding myself in desperate need of building advice and MOC critique, I think that the Eurobricks forums is the community for which I was looking. With regards to personal interests, I am a huge science fiction fan, and most of what I build with regards to LEGO now-a-days are sci-fi creations, mostly starfighters and other space vessels. Other than that, I am an avid road cyclist that enjoys the occasional race, and I'm currently working on writing a series of Warhammer 40,000 inspired metal tunes. I also recently attended the 2019 edition of BrickFair VA, and one of my MOCs won "Best Medium Space Craft", which was absolutely mind-blowing! Anyway, you will probably see me in the coming days posting on the Eurobricks Sci-Fi forums; I am looking forward to seeing what others think of my creations, as well as learning all that I can about becoming a better LEGO Space MOC builder! Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community! Chapeau!
