Swoop down on the unsuspecting prey

 The profile of this ship by The G Brix very much makes me think of a bird of prey swooping down it its, um, prey.


I think the yellow content is bit high here, but those engine intakes are cool enough, I'll let it pass. I don't think those parts come in black, after all.

Blacktron on the high seas!

 Blacktron needs more boats. How about we get some more boats? Geoff Horswood built this Blacktron speed boat that really reminds me of modern type boats from the 90s.


Colour scheme is good. Not always easy to get it right, but it was done right on this MOC.

Smooth and sleek

 There aren't enough remakes of 6933 Spectral Starguider. I've done a couple myself over the years, but this one by Martin Gebert is definitely more visually interesting that anything I could come up with.


It's a little heavy on the white, but other that it's a great MOC. Maybe a bit more curvy than my personal tastes, but that doesn't take away from this MOC.

But that radar dish. MMMMMM....

Is it that time of year already?

 When I saw that this photo was tagged Febrovery, I thought "Man, this little rover must have gotten lost from the convoy, Febrovery was over months ago!"

Then I looked at the date and realized it was February. Time flies when your driving a little Blacktron rover


It's a recolouring of a Furturon set, but that didn't stop Luke Shutt from making it better. AKA, he coloured it Blacktron

Invading your space

 This Aerial Intruder revamp is big enough it will seem like your personal space is gone when it swooshes by you. It uses one of the largest Lego parts, those wings to great effect.


Space Man Nathan isn't a stranger to this blog, and he does a wonderful job with this. I especially like those cockpits, they are quite unique.

Stomping all over the little Classic Space men

 This giant upscaled Blacktron fig looks ready to pick up a Galaxy Explorer and toss it straight at the nearest Mega Core Magnetizer!



OR perhaps he is just going to terrorize the nearest Unitron Monorail. Either way, this upscale fig, which the builder, Jeffy O, states is based on the Harry Potter large scale figures. This Blacktron guy is a definite improvement. Now I want to see a Blacktron 2!

Orion's Eye

 Wow, been some time since I posted something. Been even longer since I posted one of my own MOCS! I don't build as fast I used to, I used to be able to pound out a ship like this in a week, not a year and a half! Mind you, there were a few things to disrupt the building, like a move, getting married, some Bionicles. Those Bionicles.....

Anyways, here is my latest SHIP, the Orion's Eye:

This is based on an old MOC, from around 15 years ago. I had built a ship, pretty much the same size as this one, but never took pictures of it, because I was unsatisfied with the engines on it. Thankfully my dad happened to take a couple of pictures with my playing around with it. so I do have evidence of it's existence. 
I call the original "The Crashable Ship" for it's most notable feature, was that it looked really good crashed. Oddly enough, the only reason I built the first one, was to have a bigger spaceship built than a younger brother.
The original "Alpha Orion" Look how young I was. Pretty sure I am making a swooshing noise.




The interior is fully accessible, which is normal for me. Interior details are... sparse. Which is also normal for me. The last month or two before completion was it sitting on my table, waiting for me to finish the interior detailing.

For more pictures, go to my Flickr album here!

Thanks for looking, and here's to another great Blacktron year!

Just going to drop in and say Hi

 That seems to be the story conveyed here in this little diorama by Paul Diedrich. He showcases a few very nifty MOCs, but what sets this above other MOCs, is the simple, yet effective layout. A printed backdrop, and table cloth, it really is reminiscent of old Lego catalogues. 


And that Scum Police was asking for it. Just saying.

Harvesting all your Trans Neon Green

 This just might be my favorite Blacktron build ever. The MOC is stunning, the subject material is unusual, and to top it off, it uses the Duplo windscreen!


I live in an area where there is a lot of farming, so I have seen plenty of real combines at work. I grew up a patch of dirt that had been farmland a couple years before I was born, so these things were right next door, so to speak.

And it even has a scary skull face on the front!


Dario Dipic, you have my undying respect.

Robot controlled Renegade

 I've seen a lot of upscaled renegade builds, but I haven't seen many redux Renegade in the same scale as the original. Danth has rectified this problem.


What most impressive about this MOC, is that when the rear section is left all alone, it transforms into a robot!


Pure brilliance, I regret not thinking of it myself!

Missiles locked!

 Better get out of the way, this Blacktron Missile Corvette by Horlack has you locked in their sights.


Actually, it looks like you may be too late, as those missiles are hot! It even has a nifty landing pad with the Blacktron 2 logo emblazoned across it.

SHIPtember 2021

 SHIPtember has been done for about 9 days now, and it gave us two OG Blacktron SHIPS,


We have an upscaled Renegade by DJ Quest. It even is modular, just like the original!



Then we have the BLACKTRON BRUISER by Chris Boen. Yes, the caps are necessary.


Hopefully next year brings us more fabulous SHIPs, and maybe a Blacktron 2nd generation one or two.

Deploy the fleet!

 A couple MOCs of his own design, a few recolourings of a Futuron set, plus a standard Invader, equals a pretty cool battle fleet by Rob Mehmed. I am especially fond of the slightly upscaled Invader. It's subtle, but once you compare it to the normal Invader on the right, you notice it's bigger, and arguably better.

Oh, and there is a sweet-ass dragster.

Tiny Swoosh

 4estFeller posted this tiny little Blacktron microfighter. It packs in a lot of detail with just of  afew parts, most notable of which are those technic panels.

Start of a new life

Greetings Blacktron viewers. I bring you a simple MOC, but it's one that brings a powerful message. It might be connected to the cake underneath.



Yesterday I got married to a wonderful lady. and yes, our wedding colours where those of my favorite Lego theme, Blacktron 2.

Yes, the caked is a hexagon, and not an octagon, but who's counting?
