Thrictep C-31

Cool mulitiped by spacie 11. The functioning technic parts blend in with with the look of the MOC without looking out of place, and the spikes and stripes add visual flair. It's not your average war mecha, but it's wonderfully wonky-cool.

Well.

Despite it being tacked into a sub-theme that's already been dragged through muds of various kinds, this MOC is actually pretty original and well built.



I really like the incorporation of that canopy piece and the tire. By _nash.

:P

Of all the Star Wars vehicles that have been built to death over the past decade, the Twin Pod Cloud Car remains relatively untouched. Legohaulic, AKA Tyler Clites brings us a great rendition, and at the same time gives Chuck Citrin a run for his money in terms of Fig-Fitting.

This Is Post #700

No kidding, we've posted a total of 700 updates to date. And yet you people keep reading. Clearly no one ever taught you to have good taste. But since you're here, let us show you some Lego® Building Blocks!



First up, Dan Rubin's Contus Lancer Corvette. This craft is beautiful, simply put. It reminds me heavily of a certain Star Trek ship, which has always been one of my favorites.
There are plenty of things to rave on about, the striping leading into the fins, the texture, the color scheme, but since I'm not getting paid by the hour, we're moving on!



Next, of course, is Soren Roberts and his nifty little freighter.
Generally speaking, it's accepted that anything Soren produces is magic. Never let it be said that I differed from the norm.


And last but not least, whatever happened to izzo?
Does he still build? Post on Bshelf? Walk this earth? I've been out of it for a while. I'm as flummoxed as you are dear reader.

Red Planet



As much as we love things with guns, and things that make others things go boom, it's nice to see a
builder return to the true roots of spacey science fiction. Exploration, and the expansion of humanity into the final frontier.

I'm gettin' all nostalgic.

Keep your Nnenn. I still remember when he showed up and everyone was like "What is this? Megablocks? Modded bricks?!" That's not the point. He's great and all, but I'm not here to blog his stuff. I'm blogging a couple of lovely spaceshippy thingies (technical term) built by people who have been around as long as I remember, and whose creations greatly inspired me as I was first getting into the online Lego community.

Dan Rubin checks in with the Hornet bomber:


Justin Vaughn has imaginatively dubbed this one the "orange fighter."

Multiple Tims

Tim Goddard (RogueBantha) brings us a great microscale M-tron themed freighter:



Tim Gould takes a break from trains and presents a cyberpunk flying machine:



It reminds me of the Naboo starfighter from the Phantom Menace, but cooler. If you are in a train mood though, check out Nathan Proudlove's subway train. It's lime!

And if you haven't taken note already, there's a building challenge in the starfighters group on flickr.

NEWS FLASH



Contrary to what you may have heard on other channels,(with reputed ties to the Communist party) there is but one side to this heated debate. And that's the right side. Go pro-green, go pro FREEDOM.

On Patrol

Adrian Florea brings us a cool mecha, in his dynamic, angular building style.


It's dark blue, too.

Geoff knows the music.


Geoff Herndon, AKA Tekka Croe, has built a very nice ODST drop pod. The main reason this is the best one I've ever seen is that it's not a box: Geoff has actually given it some complex shaping. The second feature that stands out from many other Lego drop pods is that the doors hinge rather than just coming off.

As the next part of the quotation I used in the title goes, "time to dance." This is clearly applicable, because below is a video, and videos move, and people who are dancing move. Get it?

 
Jacob
Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.
Mike
One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.
Dean
Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.
Erik
Erik is still a teenager.
Lukas
Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.
Spook (Tim)
The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
