So glad to be back on track, more projects on the way

6832 Super Nova II, 6887 Allied Avenger, 6812 Grid Trekor, 6878 Sub Orbital Guardian, 6851 Tri-Wheeled Tyrax, 1462 Galactic Scout.

They suffer the same issue as the base with discoloured whites but they are all original parts which counts for something I think.

I've had a random Cockpit Space Nose 2336 in orange in my collection for a long time because I thought it was cool. Try as I might, I've sadly never been able to find a good use for it that I liked. I was playing around with some old sets in Studio, and came up with this.

I give you: Summertime Starfire I. (6820)

...It cracked me up and I hope it does you. :)

(I'll have to try and make a winter one now, but I fear anything I do will pale in comparison to Ice Planet's options. They are basically the perfect winter faction.)

I was born in 2003, and I grew up with alien conquest. I’ve been buying stuff off marketplace and getting older pieces, and one of the things I’ve been making is these dudes. The Aaron guy is my favorite. I found him with the damaged legs, could fix, but don’t really want to. I imagine the bus Lightyear guys are new space police.

Has anyone seen the instructions or would anyone be good at creating instructions for this exclusive set?

Extract from blog text.

"...40889 Build, Paint and Play is definitely one to look out for, and will be a nice little bonus if you’re planning on picking up any of the new November 2026 releases like 11390 Shenron & Goku, 21065 Sagrada Família or 11388 Venetian Neighbourhood, which should all easily get you across the US$130 / AU$210 / €130 / £115 / CAD$170 / SGD$190 threshold..."

Perfect my previous post for those interested it's 1.5 inches shorter than Message Intercept surprisingly.

I don't mind the discolouration, just represents a well used space base that's not been maintained well lol.

Went to a LEGO exhibition earlier this month, where I took a bunch of photos!

I haven't built the others back up and as message intercept is the only one built in using that as the a measure for how spaced out the shelves need to be?

Hello all. It has been a while since I've posted or created any MOCs for my fun Exploriens faction. This one is similar in design to another fun MOC I did months ago (xylophone). But this one is basically a shooting range for the Exploriens to go and train their bone blaster skills. I've also made a change to my Exploriens crew. If they have dark red arms on their uniforms then they're a ground pilot, and if they have dark blue arms then they're an air pilot. I think these colors look great on them, and it helps to keep their identities easier to see. In this MOC I have 3 women air crew practicing. On the side of this are score tallies where they can check their score to see how well they did. The blue light up top will blink a couple times when they score a bullseye, and of course there's little bones behind the lights because Exploriens 2150 technology is a mix of modern along with using bones to power said technology.

All this said I wanted to say that I've done a much needed and cooler remake for a base I made for the Exploriens that wasn't very good. But this much improved version is way way cooler. I put a lot of heart and soul into that MOC. I'll also have another shooting range for the heavy bone laser. Lastly, I'm also making a MOC largely inspired by the Crater Cruiser which is taking advantage of the red/blue combo of the Exploriens, and has an air pilot and ground pilot. Should be lots of fun. Keep an eye open on this space.

While running an experimental spacetime mapping program, Dr. Maria Kelvin discovered a previously unknown hyperlane leading to the otherwise inaccessible region of space known as the Rimefrost Nebula.

The Rimefrost Nebula is a blue-green spiral of countless star systems flecked with frozen crystals that block sensors and starlight, and damage unprotected hulls. Krystonian colonists have therefore developed the Nebula Recon Craft to support preliminary exploration of this region.

The NRC should not be mistaken for a fully equipped scientific survey vessel. Essentially, it is a retrofitted aerospace fighter which replaced almost all of its weapon hardpoints with additional sensor arrays, turbo-charged sublight engines, dual hyperium drives (for long, extended series of jumps), and extra solar panels. It only supports 1 pilot and 1 science officer manning the sensor array, plus one Penguin-AI unit for support. There is enough room on board for the 2-man crew to work, sleep, and store equipment (such as helmets, extra oxygen, power armor, laser chainsaws and a small rover), but notoriously, due to heavy power demands, there is no onboard toilet nor food replicator, requiring regular stops on habitable worlds for refreshment.

The NRC's primary role is to quickly pass through the hazardous ice and gas clouds to map out which solar systems contain worlds promising enough to send the full science vessel ship on future missions, and, if those show promising results, perhaps even colony ships.

In this scene, pilot Buzz Sawson and senior science officer Redmond Sideburn stop by what Red describes as "A temperate world which is currently in the middle of a 50,000 year ice age." Buzz notes that there appears to be a ruined civilization here that didn't make it past the age of stone castles...or did they?

A new place to store a few of my spaceships I’ve built over the last year!

Has anyone had any experience with sellers in Hong Kong selling bootleg parts? There are a couple of sellers on Bricklink that have a suspiciously large amount of light blue helmets and space babies on there and I’m considering making a purchase but also worried that they may be bootlegs…

Im planning on also making an Evongelion reference.

Hi everyone! The male robot is a build that I’ve seen several people do from Rebrickable. I decided he needed his companion and designed the female robot to match.

Here's an older creation of mine I posted to Rebrickable over a year ago, and while it didn't get the best numbers in likes and views, it did get both a sale and a real-life build of it from the person who purchased it's instructions. It was a fun build, but it's one of my lowest-ranking creations and I've been rather hesitant to make instructions for another ship like this.

If it looks overwhelmingly retro, that's because I built it using EXCLUSIVELY (I think) parts from the 1990s and prior, the era of the classic Lego Space sets! This was one of my earliest retro builds and I might've accidentally picked a wrong piece or two, and there's a design flaw in it's storage compartment was politely pointed out by the guy who purchased the instructions and made a cool alternatively-painted model of it IRL.

Perhaps now that I have this community to share my creations with, I should give these retro-style ships another chance. I had a much larger one named "Cornucopia" that was left unfinished due to the initial lack of success Excelsior had, but I'm starting to get tempted to work on something new for you guys since you were all so kind and supporting to my first post!

Is there any way I can set up a poll on here for what my next Lego Space project should be? Also, is Lego Star Wars allowed on here? My Star Wars MOCs are built with parts from similar eras (1999 to 2001) and were a MUCH more successful series of creations too, I'm sure ya'll would love them!

In case anyone was interested, here's a link to the instructions for Excelsior on Rebrickable alongside it's one customer review and that customer's cool alternate recolor of the ship:

My first major up-spaced project: the 889 Radar Truck. Shout out to MinifigJez on YouTube for the inspiration!

I've been getting more into technic GBCs (great ball contraptions), but needed a ball box to test them. I loved the neon parts from my insectoid and UFO sets as a kid, so I designed this.

I have free instructions if anyone is interested: https://reb.li/m/279762

So here's an updated showing of what I'm planning on making for my Aquasharks and IP crew. These are now finalized designs. I found a shop on Bricklink and did an order for 13 Aquasharks torsos for 13 cents each, two gold IP torsos for 19 cents each, and 28 silver IP torsos for 24 cents each. Now I just have to get the other parts for all of these figures, and it's a lot of figures total for the amount of MOCs I've made so far.

Here's a breakdown of why I chose the design elements for each of these.

Aquasharks Federation Chomp

• This factions main color scheme is about the same as the original Aquasharks, but it has some dark blue sprinkled in for good measure. So I chose to make non leader Aquasharks crew have dark blue arms, black hands, and blue hips. Any leaders will have gold hips to reflect their position, and the rest of the design is the same.

Ice Planet 2150: Krysto Forces

• This factions color scheme is the same as before for the most part, but with white being where black pieces would be for bottoms of vehicles, etc. Then there's the addition of trans clear, and trans light blue. But for the crew themselves it's straight forward. Silver torso has flat silver arms which matches up really nicely with the torso itself, and white hands because it's still snowy and is different than the blue hands of the original IP. I also found a cool leg design with the blue legs and white boots. This looks really cool I felt, again, I'm trying to do something different with my faction. The leaders and other important people are gold torso with gold arms, and white hands, they also have the same pants as well.

When I get all the torsos, and then eventually make the crews for these IRL, then I'll be sure to share pics with everyone here.
