Aliencat Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Manned by a crew of 3, the Tia Maria cruises the voids of space, time and beyond, trawling for starfish. Here are some close-ups and detail views of the ship: And here's the 3-man crew of the starship, with their space respirator thingies. Except the robot, I'm kind of sure the robot doesn't need air: This ship was very much inspired by Ian McQue's amazing work. Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Fantastic work! The shaping is superb and I love the pallets stacked on the deck Quote
shmails Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Oh man, I really love your styling and design sense! It has a Blade Runner meets The Fifth Element sense to it. The ship is wonderful, I love the nets, crane, and all the little details that make it look well used. Great work man! Quote
Karl Kream Pie Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Cool! I especially like the robot cat. But where are the vacuums? Quote
SpacerSteve Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 What amazes me the most about your builds is that you really make a Fabuland cats a convincing alien race in Andromeda! This build is great. My favorite part is your cyborg cat. There is a lot to like though. Does the knob on the base operate the crane? Quote
deraven Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Wow- love it! The layers to detail are fantastic. The pallets on deck are great, and the air hoses attaching the crew gives it both an old 18th century feel as well as retro-future vibe. Very nice all around! Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Incredible. What else can I say? This is a great build. Love the stack of pallets... Quote
David FNJ Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Awesome job! This is quite the take on the category! Quote
robuko Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Absolutely superb! Great shaping and the accessories and beaten up colours are just perfectly done to make it feel like a working star-ship. Edited July 26, 2015 by robuko Quote
Kodan Black Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 You totally nailed the look of your inspiration! Wow, simply stunning as always. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 This is absolutely stunning! I love your Mocs! Such an imaginative blend of contemporary and sci-fi fantasy! Also the fabuland characters are adorable! The Trawler is wonderful! So many lovely details! The colours are fabulous, and the shape is just superb! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
mccoyed Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 That's a great idea for a ship. I love some of the retro-futuristic stuff that's snuck into AG alongside the more conventional aesthetics. You and Robuko are really bringing that pulpy magazine/paper-back feel to the game. Quote
Aliencat Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks a lot for the great comments guys, I had a lot of fun building this ship because I've been looking at Ian McQue's stuff for a long time and always wanted to try to capture that in LEGO. Cool! I especially like the robot cat. But where are the vacuums? Vacuums, I knew I forgot something! Nah this is a fishing boat, the vacuums are in another boat. Somewhere. Probably. Isn't space a big vacuum anyway? What amazes me the most about your builds is that you really make a Fabuland cats a convincing alien race in Andromeda! Does the knob on the base operate the crane? Fabuland cats have always been an alien race, you guys just didn't know it yet :P Oh yeah the knob it does something, I'll get a video of that tonight. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Fabuland cats have always been an alien race, you guys just didn't know it yet :P Cats are aliens trying to conquer earth... Brute force didn't work, so their actual plan is to soften humans through Youtube videos... Soft humans are easier to surprise attack, and plant claws into. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Cats are aliens trying to conquer earth... "Trying"? I think they already succeeded... that's why when my cat mews, I've been conditioned to either provide it with foos tribute, or release it from my house that it might mingle with its fellow feline overlords. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Really like the colors used here! You nailed the "junky" look - in a totally good way! Quote
pombe Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Your builds have such an incredible vibe and style...so very retro in a 5th Element-ish way. Trawling for starfish! HAHA! ROFLMAO on your bycatch! Fantastic build! Fantastic presentation! Quote
Big Sal Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Awesomely ramshackle ship! The pallets are just perfect! Quote
