Looking at what is out there I have seen a few fun shapes or parts usage which inspired me. Here is the first of a few small ships that came from that.

I would take better photos but I barely have time to make the models. And by now I have improved this but don’t have current photos. This way there is something posted…

(Edit from much later)-
I got the famous LEGO yellow castle when it was new (and I was too) and so have some interesting, large slopes. I also wanted to see how I could incorporate the windshield piece and thought a round opening would be right for it. The front of the ship is built upside down and then uses Technic pins to connect to the back. This allows it to have the shape I was seeking while adding a 30 degree angle to it, much sleeker!

I guess I have been on a roll; building lots now! At least for me. I made the robot with light blue arms when I couldn’t sleep this week. The frame (arms, legs, and body) were made last weekend then I added the hands and details to finish it off rather nicely one early morning. The sand colored robot I made some time ago, two or three years maybe. Similarly I made most of it very quickly but had trouble getting the knee-joint simplified and some other details sweetened. I think it was 8-10 months later that I got it to this current state.

Since Christmas has just passed, I got a chance to make some stuff in LEGO. Here is a little jet pack I am rather proud of.
