I recently discovered the awsome AFOL (adult fan of Lego) community when I stumbled across the Classic Space forum. It only took a few minutes of browsing through the meticulously detailed creations made by the members to awaken the inner child in me. After years of building only robots, I returned to building spaceships in the summer of 2007. Here are some of my creations.
This is a rebuild of the train for my big M:Tron project. I tried to match the more angular look of the M:Tron sets with my first train, but I found that it didn't really match the look of the rest of the model. That led me to rebuild it in a more modern style.

Read more...The Manticore is my third SHIP (seriously huge investment in parts). At 180 studs, it is significantly larger than my first two SHIPs. It is my first foray into the realm of asymmetry.

Read more...It may be more than twice the size of many fighters, but with its massive engines the UB-TOA5T is hardly limited by its bulk. Agility that rivals most small fighters and enough fire power to match many larger ships make the UB-TOA5T a formidable enemy.
