Classic Space is eating my brain!

Seriously, it is. It started with my building this little riff on a minifig of Danos:

This was followed in close succession by two remixes of the 6833 Beacon Tracer:

Now, I've started a specialty Flickr group for Classic Space remixes, and it looks like my next Bricklink order will be similarly Space-ified. How did it come to this?

Although, now that I think about it, this remix business might work equally well with Classic Castle factions. Hmm. . .

It's always nice to branch out into other themes. After all, there's only so many ways to build a grey box.

Nothing wrong with branching out and trying other things. Its all Lego! Post your stuff here in General. I'd love to see it.

My, you're an easy egg to crack.

The vehicles look cool. I recently re-claimed all of my younger brother's Lego sets from my parents basement and spent quite a bit of time re-building all his old M-tron, Blacktron 2, and Ice Planet sets for him. It was a good trip down memory lane.

I was impressed at how much cheaper some of the old space sets are on bricklink when compared to the Castle sets. Good stuff, please post more if you build them.

I really like that Ice Planet-themed Beacon Tracer. A while back I posed a classic-space themed Twin Winged Spoiler. Lemme see if I can find the link...

Here it is!

nice remixes, and yes it is definately alot of fun to do remixes with classic castle as well. Awhile back I built a Royal Knights version of Black Falcon's Fortress.

Wow.

Absolutly wow.

I can't believe how awsome these are! I especially LOVE the Blacktron 2 Beacon Tracer. (Of course I am a sucker for Blacktron 2). I should consider making one of those.

Keep up the good work!

Great stuff, I especially love the Blacktron 2 ones.

Funny, I just looked in the Castle forum, and found a new way:

I've always drifted towards Pirate (although there were always very few sets before) more than Space as a second favorite theme, but I do admire space a bit, and these sets of yours are no exception.

It seems you really have the look and feel of good LEGO space craft/vehicles down well - I do like that small ship very much - looks like a crafty little fighter~
