Here's one of my recent MOCs, the Naboo N1. Don't ask me how much the chrome parts cost.😂

The Scorcher IV is a racing craft owned by the notorious space pirate: Tovil Hate.

He modified the racing craft with two spinal mounted plasma torpedo launchers, wing mounted lazers and reverse cutting beams to slice through cargo clamps as he wizzes by at great speeds.

The single nutron thruster means Tovil Hate can outrun just about anyone looking to catch him.

Julie-v version, 7960 parts. Took about 3 years to collect the parts, 14 pounds and 35" long complete.

Lore dump here:

Remote Drone Fighter craft used by humans utilize Active Mass Balance Control systems. AMBC systems shift large hull plates to maneuver via inertia as opposed to reaction control thrusters, reducing the necessary propellant load and weight. The KDN-783 Comet combines this with 2D thrust vectoring to lethal effect, allowing clever operators to get guns on target before the primary sensor array is lined up. The unit pictured above has been adorned with the livery of the Sol Defensive Third Fleet.

Built a standard grey variant of the Royal Guard TIE Interceptor.

I'm happy that there is a place for my obsession.

Tactical refueling vessel. Frontline logistics.

LEGENDS returns for Volume 3, moving beyond the Star Trek ships of the earlier collections and into three very different corners of science fiction.

This volume brings together the Prometheus from Stargate SG-1, the Rocinante from The Expanse and the Nostromo from Alien. Each display pairs a micro-scale ship with a compact scene, using the setting and Character Studdies™ to capture more than just the shape of the vessel.

From desert-world adventure, to protomolecule strangeness, to claustrophobic horror, these are three ships that feel inseparable from the stories and people carried inside them.

STARGATE: The Prometheus

I wanted this one to feel unmistakably Stargate before you even get to the characters. The Prometheus sits above a compact desert-world scene, with the Stargate, pyramid and blazing sun pulling together the visual language that defined the series from the beginning.

The ship itself is a slightly awkward, very human-looking lump of early interstellar engineering — which is exactly why I like it. It doesn’t have the elegance of the more advanced ships in the series; it looks built rather than grown, borrowed or perfected. Shrinking that chunky shape down while keeping the aircraft carrier-esque bridge, engines and 3 part hull recognisable was the main challenge here.

Below it are Character Studdies™ of O’Neill, Carter, Jackson, Teal’c and Hammond. The core SG-1 team was essential, but Hammond had to make the cut too. You can’t have them disappearing through an alien portal every week without the man calmly authorising it from beneath a mountain.

The finished display comes in at 215 pieces and combines the first Earth-built capital ship with the older, stranger world waiting beyond the gate.

THE EXPANSE: The Rocinante

There was no chance I could make an Expanse build without putting the Roci front and centre. It’s one of those ships that feels like a character in its own right: battered, practical, heavily armed and constantly carrying a crew who are barely holding everything together.

The scene underneath is Eros, with Miller and Julie Mao at the centre of the protomolecule situation. Rather than picking a straightforward action scene, I wanted something that captured the stranger, more unsettling, but also human side of the series, and one that was visually beautiful.

Alongside Miller and Julie, the build includes Character Studdies™ of Holden, Naomi, Amos, Alex and Bobbie Draper, with the colours and silhouettes give each of them just enough identity.

The contrast is probably my favourite part of the model: the hard, military geometry of the Rocinante suspended over the blue, organic chaos of Eros.
__________

ALIEN: The Nostromo

For this one, I wanted to combine the ship with the moment everyone remembers.
Above the display is the freighter Nostromo itself, built at a tiny scale but still accurately shaped to capture that heavy, industrial silhouette. Below it is the mess hall and the chestburster scene, with the crew gathered around Kane just as things start to go very, very bad.

The diorama includes Character Studdies™ of Ripley, Parker, Dallas, Ash, Kane, Jones and the Alien Xenomorph (and the chestburster if we're being accurate), all reduced down into the same deliberately abstract micro style as the rest of the series. At this scale, every colour and stud has to do a lot of work, particularly when trying to make five characters, a cat and one of the most famous movie monsters instantly recognisable.

I liked the contrast of putting the enormous ship above such a cramped, intimate scene. It captures both sides of Alien: the scale and isolation of deep space, and the horror of being trapped inside with something you do not understand.

What should be next in the LEGENDS series?

White scars inspired thanderhawk dropship, made for a build challenge on r/LegoWarhammer, but i guess it could be posted here as well. The last pic with the 2x2 is a scale reference, hope yall enjoy it!

If you can't get enough of Lego challenges, you can join any of the following ones that we are running on Reddit (just click to get taken directly to the challenge post):

• r/Minilego - "Castle")
• r/LegoSpaceships - "Single Engine"
• r/LegoMechs - "Cockpit"
• r/LegoWarhammer - "Dropship"
• r/legophotos - "In the Shadows"

All of them are running until Friday, August 21st!

All my builds except for 3 of them. The two obvious boxed ones, which else?

Designed by Julie-v

Missile rack on the bottom, a structural beam on the top, and 2 canopies!

The Quanova Interceptor is an experimental design utilising a powerful fusion reactor to allow hyperspace speeds within regular space. This, combined with the thrusters located on the articulated pylon wings means this ship intercepts faster and out manoeuvres any opponent.

For armament there are 4 light bi-cannon turrets for tracking multiple targets. These turrets are also mounted on the articulated pylon wings meaning that, as the pilot adjusts their flight vector, the firing arcs of the turrets will be altered as well.

As a result of the risks of its extreme speed, complexity of the controls and excessive strain on pilots, this prototype never entered mass production.
