Another day, another Elf returns to the office, creation in hand, expectantly looking for a meal token. Today’s sci-fi find is this ship entitled ‘White Dragon’ by Biomanniax on Flickr. Funky angles are very in-vogue at the moment, and this creation packs in quite a few. Check it out at the above link whilst we feed the lucky discoverer.
You lot have been busy. We’ve had so many Elves trooping back to the office holding spaceships, mechs and battle tanks that we’ve got a back-log to clear. So here it is, a Sci-Fi Special with no less than six creations featured!
Row 1; from left to right: Maedhros1980’s Survey Ship, NHI’s MHS Mech, and Shannon Ocean’s R-Type Starfighter.
Row 2; from left to right: Nathanael Kuipers’ M.B.A. Mech, pasukaru76’s Duel Tangent Fighter, and finally, NatNeto’s Galaxy Patrol Heavy APC.
The Elves must be feeling quite robotical today. One of them got into the kitchen and put a colander on its head and now we have a small and annoying army clunking around the office.
Still, it has influenced their finds and that’s no bad thing as we haven’t featured Mechs in a little while. So here’s your second of the day, by blawkward on Flickr. It’s more than it appears though. Find out why at the link.
We’ve blogged some huge creations this week but small simple builds are fun too, like this brilliantly photographed Town scale hovercar. See more at Alex B’s MOCpage.
Swoooooooosh!
A quick space post today, as this is swooshy and blue, and those are good enough reasons for us. Peter Morris is the builder.
Fighter, 2086 style
Apologies for all the sci-fi posts in recent times, for some reason the Elves seem to be in a Spacey mood. Still, today’s post is different from most of the Lego spaceships circulating the interweb. Set only a few decades in the future, Shannon Ocean’s Mcdonnel Dougles F4 Phantom III is recognisably using current technology, from the reflective tiles to the rockets, and is manufactured by a well-known defence company. It’s also, not unlike the Space Shuttle, looking a little rough around the edges, as the missions take their toll. In other words; Plausible Science-Fiction. See more on Flickr.
Lego Lunar Lander
This beautiful photo comes from Kei_Kei_Flic on Flickr. Depicting the Soviet-era Lunniy Korabl Lunar Module (and a cheery Russian cosmonaught) on the surface of Earth’s Moon, it’s sadly more fantasy than historic event.
The Russian KL Moon Lander never made it to the Moon. The N1 rocket designed to take it there started encountering problems following the death of its designer, and the project ended in spectacular fashion, with the largest artificial non-nuclear explosion in history.
Sirian (not Syrian) Trade Authority Probe
We’ve no idea who or what the Sirian Trade Authority is, but apparently they’re fans of robotic probes made from hubcaps and old ray guns. Halfbeak‘s Nice Parts Usage (NPU) can be seen on Flickr.
Starfighter Breakdown
Nathan DeCastro recently posted a breakdown of his fantastically smooth looking Duolos Starfighter. If you want to make your own version, or would simply like to expand your LEGO-building techniques, take a look at Nathan’s page via the link above.
Full of Quarians. Probably.
Jason Corlett on MOCpages recently uploaded an incredible spaceship. 4ft 2″ of incredible spaceship. Based on the Envoy Ships in Mass Effect 3, his version uses around 4,000 pieces and took 100 hours to construct. See the full gallery at his MOCpage here.
