Where do you get so much legos?



[adrianparedes110697]

You should sell some of your creations

[Franican132]

AMAZING... It inspired me to start using Lego Digital Designer to try to make something close to this. That awesome door you made for this, I took that idea and made my own version of it, and it is AWESOME!

[Acloneapart99]

I WANT IT.NOW.

[UNSCJ117]

I would love to buy one, very inspiring display

[metalgearrex982]

[ZamCam735]

this is like, the best ship i have ever seen! it makes my star ship look like a chunk of crap!

[1337Alaskan]

@ZamCam735 I know the feeling.

[legotwins10]

Is this a corvette or a destroyer? Because it defiantly cannot be a frigate or a cruiser.

[GremlinsAndGnomes]

Great ship, as always.

[darthnate117]

Reminds me of battlestar galactica!!

[artedin1]

can you build a lego starcraft battle cruiser?

[82christos]

this is epic

[AvengerClanLeader]

Where do you get all the parts?

[DutchXtremeGaming]

sound!!!! but very awesome

[mcplbt99]

Wow awesome job, I can see that starblazers may have had some inspiration here, but the detail you have is amazing

[BluesMan109]

@mcplbt99 Thanks! I've actually never watched Starblazers, but I've certainly been influenced by some other builders who did.

[TheAspenator117]

@BluesMan109 I was wondering, could you make miniature modles of these i don't think i have enough lego pieces XD

[clone337]

Blake, Thanks for the reply. I have to tell I live in Japan as I work for the USAF here and not sure if you have been here before but there is a lot of these types of ships in the anime here. There is even a movie out of the Starblazers anime that used to be in the states. It's called starcruiser Yamato over here. Here is a link to the movie website. yamato-movienet

This is another incredible ship, the detail is so ausome! I really like the ships with in the ships. not just cool as many people have said but you could make a fan movie with this ship. Ever thought about it? How many hours did it take and what inspired you to make this design?

[BluesMan109]

@clone337 Thanks! I honestly have no idea how many hours I spent on this. I worked on it over the course of 10 1/2 months, so "a lot" would be a good answer. This started out as a sketch of the basic layout. I eventually blew up the sketch to life size, printed onto 10 pages, which I taped them togethe. This served as a rough guide--I literally built the ship on top of it. I made some changes along the way, but the overall shape was pretty close to the finished product.

[fervent66]

@BluesMan109 THAT IS SO COOL MAN. just came across it. you have a talent like i use to have, when i was in my teens. i build from my mindset and just kept

adding as i go. no sketches or anything. just visionary. i love the round thing with the figurines inside. imagine GEORGE LUCAS, had that in the original

" STAR WARS ". it would put the " DEATH STAR SPACE STATION " to shame.

[BlackslayerX0]

@fervent66 I do the same thing. The only problem is that I never cataloged my creations until today, using Lego Digital Designer to build a Lego that I previously built. Generally it leads me to tearing the model apart to remember how it was built and digitally rebuild it. So yeah...I guess I'm a giant nerd. This is by far better than ANYTHING I've ever built, though. :D

[fervent66]

@BlackslayerX0 awesome. i was at a local TOYS ' R ' US, looking at the space lego sets. i have been thinking of buying a few sets at a time. BUT, i would rather have the classic space lego's, over the star wars theme. i loved the original SW movies. even the second set of the trilogies. BUT, for some reason, i just can't get into the SW series. maybe it's just me. i was also into the classic police series as well as the fire series. LOL. i am a fireman/ems.

[bioniclefreak1000]

holy CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Syberghoul]

Man all your creations r so cool i wish i could do that. Good job =)

[teecee2468]

100/100. but i have seen bigger. (for example, one of my relatives built a ship 7' long!)

[BluesMan109]

@teecee2468 Thanks! This certainly isn't the biggest Lego spaceship ever built. The Tribunal by Adrian Drake is 12 feet long.

I like building big, but detail is a much higher priority.

[CatsRuleDogsAreTards]

Interesting description. Is this ship FTL capable? What are its specs? Does it carry nukes? And is it armored against high velocity, high mass S.M.A.C.k round traveling at 3500 Meters per Second? Check out my page to see my ship, the BattleShip Loki from the story I write. check out the only written part of my story (At the moment) on NekoRevan. Deviantart. com
