There’s a lot of science fiction out there beyond Star Wars, BrickNerd fans, so we’re going to take a look at some Battlestar Galactica LEGO builds from over the years. If TLG can revive Voltron, why not BSG!?
Read MoreLighting can instantly add life to any LEGO build, but where do you start? Rob Klingberg from Brickstuff shares where to begin, how lighting has evolved the past few years, and the exciting place where it could head in the future.
Read MoreMark Kelso’s back with a modified version of his Viper built for the VirtuaLUG Battlestar Galactica display at Brickworld 2018. He’s got all sorts of nifty custom decals, including some convincing score marks, and of course his call sign; Pookie Muffin. He also admits to modifying several parts- egad! But that’s artistic license, and it’s paid off nicely! So Say We All!
Editor’s Note: As Mark was unable to attend Brickworld that year, my son was lucky enough to reassemble it for the display, where it was positioned front and center, the sharp point of the Colonial Fleet. We also got to swoosh it around!
What would Christmas be without a new Battlestar in the fleet? Well, that's what my old pal Garry King pondered about eight months ago when he started this 8 foot, 35K+ piece project. Yeah, you read that right. This SHIP is his own design, but those of you familiar with the reimagined BSG series will notice some cues from the Valkyrie-type battlestars, especially in the flight pods. In other shots, however, you can see some Pegasus features, and of course, the Galactica. Overall, it's another tremendous achievement by Garry, with tons of edited pictures on MocPages, so check it out!
As a BSG fan, this Mark II jumped right off the screen at me. But when I read that it's actually over 100 studs long, I was struck: "No frakin' way!?!" Chris Maddison has built a mega scale version of the iconic Colonial aerospace superiority fighter. He's captured all of those sexy curves and angles which are a real challenge at the mini-fig scale. And there's still plenty of room for tasty greebles on the side of the fuselage and around the engines. Okay, Chris, time to go shoot some toasters!!
Old LEGO magic still has its charms. We revisit Borgin and Burkes and Dumbledore’s office to compare how their buildings, curious objects, and magical creatures have changed across generations of Harry Potter sets.
