Read MoreTim Goddard unleashes this new classic space starfighter on the galaxy! Check out the engine detailing in the rear, the greebling on the wings, and the smooth integration of the cockpit into the main body of the spaceship. Every year, we see more and more crazy spaceship designs using the classic theme that LEGO did years ago. Builders like Tim are doing a fabulous job at keeping this theme alive today.
"Shuttle, this is Control. You are cleared to land. Welcome to the 1-5." "Copy that Control..." I just love space stations, with all their landing chatter and procedures. Something like this is way overdue, and Damien Labrousse had really delivered. He's come up with a convincing asymmetric design, a nifty saucer embedded within the control tower, and of course the Classic Space color scheme. To top it off, it's finished with some high quality photo-editing, just floating there in low orbit. One question for Damien, though, how'd you get it to balance on that antenna?
Bob DeQuatre has been waiting to build this for quite a while now. Exactly three years, in fact. Designed on LDD, he's finally gotten around to building this ship in real bricks. And it's certainly been worth the wait! Gotta love the curves and the color scheme, complete with the massive blasters on each side. And a couple of Classic Space logos thrown in for good measure. Awesome!
Neo-Classic Space is arguably the oldest theme in which AFOLs have been building for all these years, and in just one build Cole Blaq has both mastered it and wildly subverted it. "High Jack" is one of the most unique NCS models I've seen in a while in terms of shape, with some clever part uses thrown in for good measure.
