Hail Mary! – A Lego Friends MOC Starship

Hail Mary! is another great entry in the Lego Friends MOC flight genre. There is Mia’s Beauty and Olivia’s Flash, both extremely well made MOCs. Hail Mary is a starship with an experimental design. Having an almost “U” shape, this ship looks like it could be out of Star Wars. The use of the green donut pieces works very well here. The green color gives the impression that Mary is some sort of rogue or bounty hunter. Having two cockpits means that Mary will never have to go alone on a mission. The whole starship looks very impressive.

Lego Friends seems to have found a great place with the rest of the Lego Themes. Showing up in many MOCs and blending in very well. It will be very interesting to see if Lego Friends is here for the long run, so far, it is off to a great start!

Lego Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Baseship Concept made of 16,387 Pieces!

Battlestar Galactica is one of the more influential science fiction television shows. With an original series from 1978 and a re-imagined series from 2003, along with spinoffs (Caprica), books, comics, video games and more. It is a simple idea, a race of robots built by humans, known as the Cylons, rising up and engaging in war with their creators. But, a whole lot of political intrigue, sabotage, spies, and love triangles create a series that is hard to resist.

Garry King has built a massive Lego Battlestar Galactica MOC. This Lego Cylon Baseship is based on an original concept from Ralph McQuarrie. Who was a designer and illustrator for many famous Science Fiction properties, including Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars and E.T. Here Garry King has expanded on Ralph McQuarries sketches by adding all the details. With 16,387 Lego pieces and weighing in at 36.69 pounds (16.64 kg) this is one epic Lego model. The model is large enough to support 3 separate landing bays on the top of the Cylon Baseship. The color choices here help break up the monotonous grey, and combined with the Lego greebling really sell this Baseship.

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Olivia’s “Flash” – A Lego Friends MOC

“I spend hours inventing things. I can reuse and recycle almost anything.” — Olivia (Lego.com)

According to the Lego Friends website, Olivia would like to be a scientist or engineer. Fast forward to the semi-distant future and it looks like Olivia has accomplished her goal. Having just completed building her new spaceship, nicknamed “Flash,” Olivia is ready to see the universe. Knowing that it would be a lonely adventure, Olivia also invented and built a robot copilot named SNAFU (Stellar Navigation Artificial Friend Unit).

This is a super retro Lego rocket ship designed by Shuppiluliumas. This Lego Friends MOC is featuring a very sleek design, dinner plates for engine details, and even an umbrella for the rocket. Accompanying Olivia is a fun little robot, made out of a bunch of tiny parts. This is one elegant starship.
