Minimalist

Thanks! Hopefully, during the Holydays, I'll be able to organize my collection in full (or most of it). Then, I'll have access to my 35K, or so, bricks and we'll see what I can do with more than one set. I am already planning a base on an alien planet... Thanks again, Patrikc

Spectacular! I don't know much about Insectoid so it's a really good introduction to the theme for me!

Thanks! I worked "hard" on that one! (though playing with Lego is no work! ) These are satellite comm-link dishes so the two stay can communicate when they are separated.

Well done! Funny bomber. At first I thought it was a blimp. Given the size of the plane, maybe a crew of two would be suitable.

Thanks! That's one thing I was looking for: that they be very different but related in some way. Patrick

Hello! Here is a ground exploration vehicule combo for extended missions. The smaller one can go where the big one can't, or for brief separate missions, or in case of an emergency. I made the same kind of models a few years ago but that was with a combination of many small sets and Lil' Tom was strangely hooked to Big Joe. This time, I changed the hook-up between the two and used only set 4891. I finally got a new camera so, from now on, I will have real pictures to show. (yes, there is a piece added so that Lil' Tom stays in place while rolling down the ramp) Thanks for looking! C&C welcome!

Hello! Mostly a space scooter with a pair of big and powerful red-ray guns, the intent was to destroy capital ships from a very small platform that would be hard to destroy in return. Very maneuverable but slow because of the weight of the weapons, it never was a big success, though the one pictured is adorned with 3 black plates, the white hull plates being replaced progressively by black ones with each kill. The overheating also sometimes caused self-destruction, due to a lack of heat sinks. A larger version was proposed but was ditched in favour of medium-class ships, more suited to the task of transporting and shooting with the heavy-weight guns. It is still in limited service but is now mostly used by space pirates who attack convoys from asteroid fields. Thanks for looking! C&C welcome! Patrick

Thanks! I'll try provide instructions tomorrow. Patrick

Hello ! Here is a microscale hopper, the equivalent of an helicopter in a low-gravity, atmosphere-less environment. Nicknamed "Puppy", it can carry 4 passengers and a crew of 2 and is ubiquitous in mining sites around the galaxy. It floats in the air thanks to its diamagnetic system. Built with set 4915 alone. Thanks for looking! C&C welcome!

Hello! A freighter from the pair of sets that I use for space MOCs. 110 pieces. Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think.

Hello again! I improved (I think) my little truck, mainly by reworking the cab so that a minifig can sit in it, although it must be bald and not wear a hat. Here it is: Thanks for looking! C&C welcome!

Hello ! I mostly build spacy things but I also enjoy building vehicles from time to time. I like building with small sets, especially with Creator and now with Bricks and More litlle boxes. So I took my 5930 set and fiddled with it to build a truck cab and chassis. With the parts left and remembering a toy tow truck from the Maisto Fresh Metal line, I tried to capture it. It is the kind of tow truck with a flat bed at the back, but angled. I don't know if it exists in real life (I searched for tow truck pictures but did not find something like it) but here goes anyway. Thanks for looking! C&C welcome!

Hello ! Built for speed and speed only, its nickname does not refer only to its quickyness. Built from set 5866 alone. Colour-wise, I'd wish there were red slopes with grille rather than dark bley ones. I tried to avoid yellow parts but there is one visible 1x6 plate and two hidden 1x1 plates. Thanks for looking! C&C welcome! Patrick

Hello ! Remember the X-Pods ? From set 4417 I built this light hover-tank. Thanks for looking ! C&C welcome !

Oooh! Am I glad to have only a single 2X4 brick in my collection !
