It's just getting colder...

This creation by Chiefrocker9000 is very ironic, for up here in Canada, lots of snow has been coming down the last couple of weeks. The ship is also quite cool, though more pics would be nice. The snow covered stuff is easily the best part about.

100th post!

It's been awhile since I posted on of my Blacktron creations. However, after procrastinating a bit, I decided to finally post my largest SHIP to date (Spaceship, that is):

The Gamma Centauri, Slightly based off two of my previous ships, is 120 studs long, making it my biggest SHIP, not including any sailing ships I have made. Complete with a detailed (probably my most detailed yet) interior, a crew of about 20 (Just estimating) and utilizing those 10x10 quarter dishes that I said I would use, this is one of my best, if not THE best, Blacktron Ship I have built.

Folder with lots more pics:

In retrospect, maybe I should have saved it for my 120th post, seeing as it is 120 studs long. Ah well.

Another Vic viper form the infamous Blacktron 1

This one snazzy looking Blacktron I Vic Viper, obviously built for the annual Novvember thing, was built by Vengecore.

Bigger is better, as the cliche goes

Salsariss brings us another rendition of the classic set, Allied Avenger, this one being a bit larger then the normal one, yet still retains all the classicness of the original set.

Vic Viper

Pasukaru does it again, with this neat Blacktron II Viv Viper, for the anual Novvember challenge on Flickr. Those prongs are just awesome. I wish I had some black ones of those.

There is always a bigger dish

Though in this case, it is "There is always a blacker dish". Built by Optimal Control (There seems to be repeating names on this blog...) Such a simple moc, but a very nice one. The dish itself is so simple, it's awesome!

Halloween is approaching


Moctagon Jones has a little scene to celebrate this holiday that fits the Blacktron theme ever so nicely. The mechanical Fleebnorks are easily my favorit part about this. The hat on the fig is also quite hilarious.

Verticalness is good?


Pasukaru apparently thinks so. Churning out a couple more Blacktron 3 MOCs, these two are both vertical starfighters based on sketches done by Shannon Ocean.

Can't get much smaller than this


Brickshelf user Legostein built this LOVELY little version of the classic set, 6887 Allied Avenger. The use of the hooks as the antennas are particularly ingenius
More pictures, plus instructions, can be found here:http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=445260

The guns are bigger than the cockpit

Not that it is a bad thing or anything. Pasukaru gives us another well designed space craft for the Blacktron III. It even has some nifty landing gear, something which you don't see much in very small space craft.

I feel sorry for the pilot


Pasukaru76 built this lovely little base for a contest on Flickr. The ship is of a rather unusual design, but it hits the Blacktron 2 spot right on!

Hope you aren't afraid of bugs


If so, stay away for this Battle Ant, built by DJ quest.
The whole creation is very ant looking, and very Blacktron looking. The symbol on the head is also aptly placed.
Oh, and there is another bug (More of a spider, but lets not get technical):

They usually aren't so big


Vic Vipers are usually a lot smaller than this one. But the size of this is what makes up a good part the awesomeness that is the Blacktron Aggressor, built by DJ Quest.
Oh, and those Blacktron Symbols on the big things on top, are just win.

Color scheme is everyting...


Peter de Yeule has made a most inspiring creation, titled Blacktron Marauder. The color scheme is spot on, and the entire creation screams "This could've been a set!!! Anyways, more pics here:

Blacktron Albatros

Built buy Vid Legradic, this ship has it all. ANOTHER use for the previously useless quarter dome peices, plus the usual cockpits, makes this a peice of work. My only nitpick, is it could really use a couple anteneas thrown in there somewhere. I likes anteneas.

And nice going on the background, it really adds to the presentation.
