Cancelled/failed spacecraft - in Lego form
« on: 09/17/2013 04:04 am »
Hello all  :)

I know Lego stuff is a far cry from most of the amazing projects being built on this forum, but I figured what the heck - I'm sure there'd still be some interest from you guys.

Anyway, I'm going to be documenting my design and construction of various spacecraft in lego form. Specifically, I'm focusing on cancelled or failed spacecraft (as well as a few imaginary vehicles). The construction phase hasn't yet begun, but I've built several designs in LDD (and can export lists of needed bricks, which is a godsend)

Here are the designs I have so far, in varying degrees of completion.

Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter, front: http://i.imgur.com/TpMfCMo.png

Titan II: http://i.imgur.com/OOwkgxo.png (okay, not cancelled or failed, but I wanted to make it anyway!)

Bigelow Aerospace Galaxy: http://i.imgur.com/MnnfsSN.png (way too complex, must redesign)

Mars Telecommunication Orbiter: http://i.imgur.com/tL1Cv2K.png

Most of them aren't really 100% accurate, and I've taken a few artistic liberties in some places. But, I'm not really aiming for something completely true-to-life (well, as true-to-life as lego can be =p)

Most of these will probably be slow going. I probably have most of the bricks available... but bricks in the right colors? I'll have to do a lot of searching and digging (figurative and literal given how unorganized my lego collection is). Hopefully I can find a good place to purchase specific bricks without it being excessively expensive!
