The Boss

The Boss
I love odd and uniquely shaped fighters, and this fighter by Nannan Z is a great example. Not only is it round, but it also includes spikes, sawblades, and a drill (Great for up close fighting).

Solid Fuel Starfighter


Earth - (BiS) ƒernald has built this wonderful Solid Fuel Starfighter which fits a minifigure under the front hatch. As with many posts here lately, it was built for the Real World Starfighters Contest on Flickr. This instantly reminded me of Voyager and the Apollo command modules. The dark orange works well as a substitute for the heat shielding and its mostly round shape is somewhat unique, especially for a fighter. The back view is well detailed and uses a few neat tricks. I am quite fond of the support structure for the turning thrusters and the lighting in the photo adds a warm touch. ƒernald also has quite a number of nice looking microbuilds on his photostream.

Glawfish Recon Vessel

Glawfish Recon Vessel
The Glawfish Recon Vessel by SuperHardcoreDave (Dave Steeves) is one of the more interesting fighters I've seen in shape. The front looks more or less like a normal fighter, but the rear looks almost organic, like a lionfish or similar creature.
