Okay.....

This creation just recently popped up on Flickr by user Aaron, and I am blown away on how...... odd...... it is. Aaron calls it the "Skull and Bones Mecha". I call it one of the strangest Blacktron creations ever built. But, all told, it's weirdness doesn't really detract from it's overall awsomeness.

Look here to look at it at different angles: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cbla_member/3484378671/

Contest Prize!

Instead of just adding this to the original post, I decided to give it it's own post. I did this for several reasons, one being you might not look at the original post.

Commader Valkrie is Awsome

You may already know this, but Classic Space user KDog has recently finished his Meteor Madness comic series, which heavily featured a Blacktron I female named Commander Valkrie. This last comic actually doesn't show her, but just take a peek at the rest of the story, and you will see what I am talking about

The link to Lego Space comic so you can check it out: (If you haven't yet)http://www.drunkduck.com/Lego_Space/?p=552434

Another plus, the first Lego Space Comic was about a Blacktron II, so that's a plus!

It's big, It's Blacktron, and it has a big gun

What more do you need? Flickr user Uspez Morbo's Kingpin has it all. Got a Space Police problem? Call the Kingpin

He created this back in February, but it deserves to be shown. (And the fact that it is awsome has nothing to do with it.

Color it Blacktron contest!

On Classic Space, ColorSchemer came up with a brilliant idea. A contest for this blog.

And so this contest is born.

The contest is:

Rebuild a ship that you built. You can use any ship that YOU built.

Rules:

• It must have been built by you.


• It must be in either Blacktron I or Blacktron II color schemes (I want no Space Police colored creations).


• You may have some leeway concerning cockpits, seeing as there is only a limited amount of Trans-neon green cockpits. Try and keep the cockpits reasonable. I don't think I want to see trans purple on the ship.


• No clones.


• I would prefer it to be fig scale, but if it is microscale, or Technic even, I won't disqualify them.


• It cannot be a remake of an existing Blacktron creation, or of any Blacktron set, or any other set for that matter.

Contest closes on Midnight, May 30, 2009, so get building! (Use your own timezone)

There will be a prize for first place only. (Look three post above this one.)

Concerning entries:

• All entries have to be submitted to this thread on Classic Space: http://www.classic-space.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?81815


• All entries will be shown on this blog as the are entered


• You may modify the entry at anytime during the contest, but as soon as it ends, no more modifying.

May the Force be your guide in building a totally awsome ship.

An oldie, but a Goodie

Nathan Proudlove's Blacktron II may be a couple of years old, but it will never cease to amaze me how awsome this ship is.

If you haven't bookmarked this, (I did!) then check out the rest of the Blacktron II goodness here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=241636

Another test

Hehehehehehehe, I have found out how to work this thing.

It is missing Trans-neon green cockpits

But who cares? Nalogg's Solar Archer doesn't really need them anyways. It still has trans-neon green anteneas, and all good Blacktron II ships need those. Now, if only TLC made those cockpits in trans-neon green, everything would be solved.

Here is a link to the ship, In case you wanted to see the more pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/nalogg/3197733966/in/set-72157612524017989/

Also check out the cool backstory, as it is as awsome as the creation itself.

Welcome to Color it Blacktron, where I make fun of your creation!

Hello, and welcome to Color it Blacktron!

This blog is to showcase all Blacktron creations that I come across, though if I happen to see a creation that is not Blacktron, but is too awsome not to show, then I might make an exception.

At least if it is not Space Police. No Space Police shall enter this Blog, no matter how gigantic it is.

On a side note, Don't expect regular updates, as I am new to this blogging thing, but you never know.

Now, to get posting!
