Simplistic, fuss-free, swish and very well put together.
-
Lovely repetition throughout to make such a lovely SHIP.
-
Nice industrial colourscheme here.
-
I particularly like the double cockpit one. Nice work..!
-
Well executed speeder, nice lines.
-
Great scene, if a little grizzly. The white bits on the border (spikes, spines, etc.) look like the skeletal remains of recent scorpion meals.

Meancing but cute. Interesting.

The Magpie T-27 The British Leyland Type-27 fighter became outmoded during the Third Age of humanity; it was superseded by the superior Keepsake. This upgrade programme led to an increasing amount of defunct Type-27s – a significant proportion of which were available as military surplus. The Magpies – a notorious group of British privateers – bought all the 27s they could lay their hands on and set about retrofitting the fighters to serve in the modern age. The ships were given a shiny new coat of sensor-baffling stealth paint. Additionally, a suite of modern targeting and counter-measure electronics was installed in the white bundle, just behind the cockpit. Although incapable of independent Faster-Than-Light travel (the Magpies transport and deploy their fighters on external racks) these Magpie-27s have proven themselves quite capable in the opportunistic pirate actions of the privateers and gained a second life and reputation after their first round of military deployment. Many of the Magpie pilots are retired British military personnel; their familiarity with the ship made them just that bit more deadly behind the controls.

A boy setting off with his trusty dog. And chicken. I approve.

[SoNE Ep. IX] Operation Dark Star

Great scene composition here. -
The platform's nice. I like what you're aiming at here.

Nice mix of tools on this beast.

There looks nothing 'light' about this beast! Nice work. The floor is nifty, too.

The Half Nova The Half Nova is a combat dropship utilised by The Long Draw Mercenary Company. It is named after the most risky bluff in a Gurdergengame of chance. The Half Nova is a strategy involves convincing one’s opponent that your hidden tokens match the visible tokens at the centre of the table to make a ‘Full’ Nova – when they do no such thing. A very high stakes Half Nova hand won the ship’s captain, Yllo, requisite funds to buy the ship and he named it in the hand’s honour. Yllo is a rare type of Gurdergen; a proverbial ‘adrenaline junkie’ (though his race lack the ability to produce the substance), he thrives on adventure over commerce. This risk-happy behaviour first presented in his gambling which went on to finance his education as a pilot and finally his pride and joy: The Half Nova. The ship is base to mercenaries of diverse origins; humans, Gnoboand Illayko. Yllo is known to take his ship into very hazardous conditions and his band of mercenaries are paid well for the danger they face, meaning the Long Draw attracts high quality and highly unstable individuals. The ship isn’t heavily armed; its main weapon the combination of speed and the reckless endeavour of its Captain. Its straight line speed is unrivalled by all but the fastest fightercraft and its suite of ECM and other countermeasures can ward off quick-moving agressors. It also features armoured airlocks for quick and safe infantry deployment and extraction. The Half Nova has its own landing pad on the Seven-Seven Gambling Rig on the Gurdergen homeworld; when not on mission the crew can usually be found there, spending their (very) hard earned currency.

Great MANTIS-meets-snow mash-up here.

Doctor Johnson’s chicken-powered Dirigible

I especially like the clouds. Nice work! -
Great snow-melts..!
-
The beak is really, really well executed.

I think it part-uses the Hero-Factory armour from the recent line which was almost minifigure scale. Like:

If you want the bricks to look a little more 'floaty' you could try to place some transparent plates inbetween.

Bear in mind; it's a theme (and a toy) for kids. Not necessarily for you. TLG has clearly moved into a world in which there are adult orientated sets made especially (also made for adult wallets. Ouch) for grown-ups who want certain things and sets for children who like the idea of giant swords on wheels.
-
I'm a big fan; TLG must be betting that the larger than life exaggerated themes (Ninjago, Chima, etc.) do well with their main demographics.

The little fellow is very well done.

Great work. Looks a lot bigger in the first shot than it really is.

Container Transport The Gurdergen are a race primarily concerned with trade and commerce. This container transport is one of their most common craft and can be seen in friendly ports throughout the galaxy. Its most recognisable feature are the four underslung cargo attachments which augment the internal cargo capacity. Various types of containers can be attached here via magnetic means; hazardous materials in particular are favourite candidates for external carrying as they can be easily jettisoned in case of contamination. The ship is unarmed and slow; it requires escort to keep it safe. The high volume of cargo capacity makes it an attractive target to pirates and other economic raiders.
