LEGO SRV Build

Ok, CMDR's...I've always wanted to a have a LEGO Elite thing. Last weekend, I lucked my way into about 80lbs of bulk blocks for free and thought, "Now's as good a time as any!" So I began. It only took me about three days to complete. I think it's pretty close to scale from the LEGO CMDR in the...

Imperial cutter by Phoenix13

LEGO Imperial Cutter

Sadly it is really expensive ($800 on Bricklink), but here are my designs for the Imperial Cutter. Without the ship kits, it is exactly 2000 pieces, about 21inches long. I rendered a couple of the images to make them look awesome, but it takes forever so I didn't do most for you all. The...

[LEGO] GU 97 Imperial Fighter (Microfighter set style)

Day off from the Asp Scout :D , did a quick 30 minute fun project from bits lying around. Its about 80 - 90 pieces (in keeping with the Microfighter style brick count and scale) for low cost basking. It also has a chaff dispenser in the module slot too!

The final vote for the Lego 90th anniversary set theme has been put up on ideas.
The choices are:
Bionicle
Classic Space
Pirates
Castle.

Over the past couple of weeks there has been a vote to determine which them should be represented by the 90th anniversary set. Bionicle managed to garner a lot of support (presumably from a bunch of 20 something Americans) however space & castle were listed in to their sub themes which split the vote.

Link to vote here (you'll need to lig in to vote) : https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09...8d6/post/6c5a05b4-e29c-47ec-8841-a2bce1f8933e

I'm going classic space due to the historical connection with minifigs and I collect it however I'd be happy with anything (that's not the charity shop stalwart, bionicle) over the grinning muppet Benny from the terrible film :D

I did a few adjustments to increase stability (because WOOOSH! - I have kids) and because I didn't have all of the parts, but it came out nicely:

Great plan with the adjustments for stability, swooshing it is a vital part of playing with it!
(Obviously this would be a bit tricky for flimley and his falcon, but where there's a will there's a way :D )

Now that I give it some thought, this is another advantage of Space Engineers. I should be able to easily replicate any of my ships using real-world LEGO blocks!!! :D

Granted, I'd probably need a special "NASA" LEGO set for things like thrusters..

I’m Sorry for the derailment but this thread has made me go look at the king of construction; Meccano.
I'm off to look at the options

didn't know there was a lego thread here. I'm currently working on a smaller krait that peeps can actually afford. it has a bunch of features that ill reveal when I finish the instructions.

How about one at the regular Lego Spaceman scale? :oops:

Maybe a Sidewinder or Cobra mk III would be more feasible. But Krait would be grate! :D
