I'm totally loving this micro chibi Yamato by builder delayice. I'm sure the first instinct you'd have with this thing approaching in space is "awww", but as soon as it unleashed it's arsenal on you you'd quickly change your tune. But even in the panic you'd still be stifling a smile, it's just too darned cute.
SHIPtember continues and now that we're almost three weeks in we're starting to see a few completed SHIPs, like this magnificent rendition of the Space Battleship Yamato by builder Eínon. This would normally be the part where I confess I haven't seen the movie or series, but not this time! I've actually seen quite a bit, but it's been so long I can't remember much. I guess it's about time to revisit it.
Builder Moko is back with a lovely super deformed version of Yamato Armor Girl. Nothing says cute like pigtails, bangs, big eyes....and a cold steel, armor plated battle-ready gun battery. I'd like to say I knew what this was by just looking, but without Google I'm worthless.
Build smarter, sturdier LEGO spaceships this SHIPtember with engineering tips for strong frames and precise polygons. This guide explores the geometry and design principles behind rigid, swooshable SHIP frames that won't sag.
Do Classic Space minifigures have roles assigned by color, like in Star Trek or the U.S. Navy’s flight deck crews? We grab our metal detectors and dig into LEGO history (and the data) to find out!
Space MOCs usually have a very defined look and feel, but what can you do if you image LEGO space as a near-future colony on a colorful alien planet instead? Kimberly Giffen takes us on a tour of her take on LEGO Space.
Think you know LEGO Space? Think again. Before Blacktron hit the shelves, there was Jim Spaceborn, a forgotten comic that hinted at villains, megaships, and an entire LEGO publishing universe lost in time.
LEGO One Piece may be a licensed theme, but its latest wave feels surprisingly familiar. From pirate ships and towering castles to compact town scenes, we explore how the sets channel some of LEGO’s classic themes.
