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.

Ramming Speed!

Earth- (BiS) While starships and spacecraft are nice and all, nothing in the sky can match the brute force a tank can have on the ground. Massive weapons capacity, sheets upon sheets of armor, vehicle storage, and troop carrying capacity are all some of the great advantages to tank use. This lil' guy has the design of a tank, the slickness of a sports car, and the armaments of Rambo after a 50% off sale at the Weapon Store. The radar array on top is also worthy of note, as well as the excellent use of the Technic joint connectors.

The Sparrowhawk

One thing that makes a great starfighter stand out from the rest is the angles, and  flickr user Bricking It does a good job at pulling this off! After impressing us all with the LL-828 Wildgoose, Bricking It pulled out another cool neo classic space creation, the Sparrowhawk. This build is a mid-sized starfighter, great for cruising the galaxy, and is reinforced with heavy armor. You can see more, here!

The "Real World Starfighter" Contest is really heating up lately. This offering by Shannon Sproule is rooted heavily in early NASA design aesthetic. Complete with a moon rover, the contest entry is visually nostalgic and functional, with just enough stickers to make the markings blend into the built. As with some other recent MOCs, this also incorporates the Death Star elements in a clean and efficient manner.

Baby SHIP

Carrier Bridge WIP by Mike the Maker

(FG)- When Lego fans think of a SHIP, they usually think of a massive minifig scale creation. Mike the Maker (Mike Yoder) takes convention and throws it out the door. Instead, he goes for an amazing 1/4 minifig scale behemoth, and he still isn't done with it!

Also, sorry about the lack of posting- it's Lego contest season, but we'll try our best to keep you updated!
