Not Lego...

But still Blacktron.

I made the grid design by myself (Not hard at all), and I cut the thread myself (That wasn't hard either).

Now you know I love Blacktron II.

A remake, Part One

Part one you say? Well it goes like this: I remade two Blacktron ships, and I decided to do two different posts, one for each.

Anyhow, here is the remake of the Talana:

I kept the original dimensions (Almost, it is one stud longer), as well as key features, like the sloped front, and the pod attachments by the wings. The two guns on the front are also one of those above mentioned features.

And pictures of the new (When public):http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=394086

Blacktron 2 has been underrepresented lately

Underrepresented you say? Well, Sklar, the creator of this creation, helped along the lack of Blacktron 2 in this NBT infested time. He calls his creation Blacktron M.E.L. for Mobile Exploration Lab. Strange name. Ah well.

Name aside, I find this a very interesting creation. The wheel Assembly is definitely different, and the use of the Power Miners wheel/drill thingy on the back is a nice touch.

Another by Shannon Ocean

This one being a remake of a Classic ship, 6929. It is called "Lurker", a perfect choice for a name if I do say so myself. There is plenty of detail in this model, from the awesome use of gate portcullis, to the fence piece on the front. The Blacktron 1 Color scheme was nailed perfectly in this creation, as another added bonus.

It speaks for itself

Exxtrooper made this from a picture by Don Solo, and there isn't much too say that hasn't already been said other than awsome!

More than meets the eye

Shannon Ocean built this beautiful Blacktron Transformer for the Neo-Blacktron stuff, and I must say, it is gorgeous! The way it transforms is just perfect! There is also some nice parts usage, mainly the Bionicle leg peices.

This thing puts my attempts at making Lego transformers to shame.

And the Winner is...

The winner is Borgador, with his recoloring of his XV-17 Crossfire! I shall be sending his prize to him as soon as I am able to.

Better Late then never

These two late entries were built by Classic Space users Bricknut and Legospwn, respectively. They were entered after the deadline had passed, but as Legospwn said on Classic Space: "I figured I'd enter this so that Admiral Netsooj could still use the thing for his blog, if he wanted." A good enough reason to post it if I do say so myself.

The Last Ones

This entry by Mark Stafford is technically disqualified since it is a remake of a Space Police III set (Good enough reason right there, sort of), but it is still blacktron, so it is worth putting on this blog. I may have to undisqualify it for a lack of entries.
More pictures of this creation can be found here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=390120


This entry is one of three by David Roberts. I only chose one of them because I did not wish to clutter up this post too much.

More pictures (Including pictures of the other two entries) may be found on this thread on Classic-Space: http://www.classic-space.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?83083.last

An added note, judging ends tonight at midnight (For some of you this has already passed, but not all of you). I will officially end the contest tommorow morning (Hopefully)

Back, and with Vengeance!

And The Borealis Pride has lots of vengeance to give!

Before I left on my ten day vacation, I took pictures of the Borealis Pride, my 101 stud long Blacktron II SHIP. I now post it.

This is what I have come up with after building Blacktron II for only 5 years. If i do say so, this is pretty good. I built this with the Stargate ship Prometheus(http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Prometheus) in mind, but the similarities are really only the general shape of the ship, nothing more.

I hope you enjoy!

Vacation!

Newsflash!

I am going on vacation for 11 days, so there will be no updates for that period of time.

Almost Forgot!

I almost forgot to blog this one! This was made by CSF user Borgador. It is the second entry.

The whole ship: http://www.flickr.com/photos/borgador17/3570648417/

And the original: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=306148

And just so you know, the deadline has been extended to the end of June.

It's so cute

I want one I really do

Captain Redstorm based this little guy off of the little vehicles on 6981 Arial intruder, the largest Blacktron 2 spaceship design by TLC.

This really makes me want to go buy a black crate.

A comic for your (possible) enjoyment

I was bored the other day, so I made this comic. (You have to click on it to get a good view of it)

I am not sure how funny it is, but if it is, I might make more. Please give me your thoughts on either the Classic Space.com thread (Link on bottom of post) or on a comment here. Just as a bit of background info so you can decifer the comic if it is not apperant:

In every SciFi show/movie that I have watched, they all have different forms of going faster than light. My examples are: Star Trek has warpspeed, Star Wars has lightspeed, Stargate has hyperspace windows (This and SW are the closest), and Battlestar Galactica has FTL drives

I have not named this comment, but if I do make more, a name would be appreciated.

It will slice you to peices

Dano puts to use those rather useless (IMO) Buzz saw pieces in his creation built this for Space Pirates contest on Flickr, and I must say, this is certainly what I call a ship for Space Pirates.
