Kathar Starfighter

Vic Vipers are aplenty these days, and it's hard to stand out in the crowd. But this one from stenertje caught my eye. It has a utilitarian and gritty nature to it. I really like the cockpit and that broken dish just adds to the grunge, very cool.

Spirit Mars Rover

I remember building the LEGO Discovery Mars Rover set as I watched the live feed from NASA on landing day. There's something about space technology that just lends itself to LEGO construction. This awesome MOC by Rogue Bantha is proof of that. It's just one of the many, many phenomenal MOCs in LEGO Space, Building The Future. 

LEGO Space: Building the Future

I just got my review copy of this book and first impressions are really good. I'll be doing a proper review in the next few days, but it's awesome!

V5

I think this is the meanest looking Vic Viper I've seen this Novvember. I really like that cockpit, and it's got just enough greeblies to be interesting. Excellent weight and balance too, I dig it.

Novvember

As many of you know, it's Novvember. No, that's not a typo, it means it's Vic Viper month. This tradition was started by the late, great nnenn and is carried on today by loyal spacers. Here's just a few excellent ships from this years collection, and there are many more.

One Small Step...

I've always been a great admirer of the US space program. My first memory is sitting on my dad's lap, watching a NASA mission unfold on TV. We always wanted to go watch a shuttle launch together, but sadly he passed away before we ever got the chance. He was also very patriotic, and I see his smile in every US flag I look at. Thanks Legohaulic, I love this MOC and I know my dad would have too.

Viper

I don't know why, but I found myself reminiscing about classic Battlestar Galactica this morning. Yes, it was pretty bad, but it was a heck of a lot better than Buck Rogers (except perhaps for Colonel Deering, rawr) and I always thought Daggit was cool. I never watched the new series, but I like the ships. This Viper by onesendai2600 is one of my favorites.

Geological Survey Mechanoids

Legoloverman is a master of the pocket-sized robot, just look at these little beauties. Each one of them has a specific job to do, and is customized to do it. Yet, they all look like brothers. Functionality fused with aesthetics, perfect.

Hornetzven P5

Wow, this is one of the crazy-coolest sci-fi vehicles I've seen in a while. So many unconventional and innovative techniques. The wheels are planet hemispheres, but that in-wheel suspension is wild!

Firefly

This is a pretty slick machine from Si-MOCs. The gold spheres suspended in the anti-gravity pods are an especially cool detail, as is the little greeblie spot on top. Unusual and cool color scheme too.

Machine n°3

This is absolutely, positively gorgeous. There are so many amazingly beautiful details on this I don't know where to begin. I mean look at that front end! The grill, the lines, the integrated helmet, it's phenomenal. The overall color scheme and proportions are brilliant as well. I just want to go for a ride in this thing. Vince_Toulouse, you're a master.

Spacestation 2

This is a nice little bit of photo editing. The composition and aspect ratio is excellent, feels very cinematic. I'd love to see this same shot setup with the background image displayed on a TV or monitor, so that the reflections and lighting would carry through to the MOC. A smaller aperture would increase the depth of field too. Nice work Tobigo.

Exo-Suit!!!

This makes me so friggin' happy. My best mate across the pond is the next Cuusoo set! Pete Reid's outstanding Exo-suit is going to be available for everyone to enjoy, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Congrats Pete, it's well deserved! 

ÖRNEN Blå

LEGOLIZE IT MAN describes this as a micro scale cruiser Ma.k style. I just call it sweet. Any MOC successfully integrating a brick separator is impressive, but one that does it this nicely is just rare. I really dig the lines on this.

Dragonfly VTOL

If you were at BrickCon you certainly saw HUB-14, a large scale collaborative build. This awesome little VTOL by porschecm2 was built for it, and just shows the level of skill and attention to detail that went into it.  

Astra And Proteus

These small but diligent robots from Rogue Bantha are as cute as they are clever. That's a whole lot of excellent part use and brilliant design in two small packages. 

Goliath

I really like the aesthetics on this ship. It's like a combination of Star Trek and Star Wars sensibilities, but with it's own flair. Excellent use of color, detail and especially proportions. And the lettering is brick built, outstanding. She's a beauty TranceM89.

Oresteia

Master of the small ship Phall Macaroni calls this a NB-02 courier class, I call it sweet. Great use of colors, angles, details and design. Not only is the ship excellent, check out that stand. It implies some kind of robotic functionality, very cool.

Peacemaker F-9

I like this ship, it's got an almost classic space feel, with a modern flair and color sense. And perhaps just a little Star Wars thrown in for seasoning,  just a hint. The addition of a classic space Minifigure pilot is the perfect touch too. Nice work halfbeak.

*Flick*...*Fwop Fwop Fwop*...*Shick*

I wasn't going to post this. Not because it's not brilliant or yet another amazing build by Siercon and Coral. But because it's brilliant and yet another amazing build by Siercon and Coral. I've honestly lost count of how many MOCs I've featured by these two in the last month. But then I saw the video, and it's too damn cool not to share.
