This is definitely a case of better late than never. Builder Proudlove started this awesome space station for SHIPtember but didn’t get it done in time. Thankfully he persevered and we get to appreciate it. And while it wasn’t done in time for that it was finished in time for Brickomanie 2019, and attendees were able to see this lovely creation in person (and I’m a bit jealous).
Blacktron came along a little late for me. When they hit the scene I was trying to break into the film industry, and stay alive, so I didn't visit the toy department much. But as an OG classic space fan I do have a fondness for the darker side of space. This station by builder I Scream Clone looks ready to defend itself with a seriously big laser cannon. It was built as part of a collaboration for Brickvention 2018.
