LucByard Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Currently in the WIP phase. I'm about four months in and recently put everything together to see how it's going so far. I'm currently trying to finalise the design for the edging below the perimeter walkway and the corner sections that will cover the gap between the perimeter sections. Quote
MaasEffekt Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Nice! Looking forward to see the final stuff, and more pictures! Quote
Junior Shark Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Whoa! I can't wait to see the rest of that beauty. Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Clever construction, look forward to the finished item :) Quote
Missing Brick Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Awesome. Been watching the WIP shots on flickr. I believe the supports are sprung, am I right? Do you have an equally impressive ship to land on the platform? Quote
LucByard Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 I believe the supports are sprung, am I right? Do you have an equally impressive ship to land on the platform? Thanks for watching. The design incorporates a shock absorber but each one uses 4 springs and I don't have enough at the moment so the design currently uses a solid mock that can be swapped out when I get them. My ship is currently in a showcase booth, I'm hoping to get it back next week. Quote
iammac Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Looks good, I especially like the seamless hexagon configuration. Is this for a show or "just for fun?" Quote
LucByard Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Is this for a show or "just for fun?" I'll be displaying it at Bricktastic in Manchester in July. I still need to decide where to take it after that. Quote
LucByard Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Done the corner sections and got my ship back. I'm in that phase of the build when I do lots of work and nothing seems to have changed which is a bit demoralising so I just need to slog through the finishing touches and the terrain details.

CP5670 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 I love how this matches the style of the landing pad baseplate, as well as the brick-built Blacktron logo in the middle. Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 It is really neat to see this build come together. The size is very impressive. You really have managed to keep the style of the blackron2 well while still giving it a newer look. Every part of this is great! Keep up the good work! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Stunning landing pad with tons of detail Wonderful spacecraft too Quote
Mike S Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Great build! Would love to see larger pics so I can look at the details more closely. Got Flickr? Quote
LucByard Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Got Flickr? Here you go. It's still a WIP so no formal detailed photos yet but lots of progress ones covering most of the components. Quote
Patgeo Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Great landing pad! I really like the supporting pylons of the pad, among all the details you included on it! Quote
Big Sal Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 This just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see it when its finished Incidentally, how did I miss that you finally joined EB? I expect you to sign up for MANTIS any day now Quote
LucByard Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 This just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see it when its finished Incidentally, how did I miss that you finally joined EB? I expect you to sign up for MANTIS any day now It'll be at Bricktastic and it's good to go save for a few cosmetic greebles now I've finished the terrain: I've also done this: Because letting strange children near my intricate work can't possibly go wrong. I'll have a look AG but I can't commit to building regularly for it. If I change the 'B' to an 'M' would this count? : D Quote
Megagan Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Very awesome landing pad! Any plans for any ground vehicles or work crews on the terrain under the pad? Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 This is an awesome creation and every update makes it look better! Can't wait to see final shots of it all together! Quote
LucByard Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks Megagan. Any plans for any ground vehicles or work crews on the terrain under the pad? Something like that. I've got some ideas and some technical hurdles to overcome though. Quote
Arcquinn Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Most beautiful landing pad I have ever seen, and even better the gunship is! Quote
3D LEGO Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 LucByard, Massive, solid and designed from the ground to fulfill its intended purpose: land small space faring vessels and transports. (Not quite big enough for the bigger stuff.) I love all the detailing and aesthetics. As I can not see clearly from the pictures, what does the lettering in the four quadrants say? Truly worthy of any Blacktron II installation. Com: >Pad control, requesting permission to land.< Pad Control: "Pad is occupied... Who is this?" Com: >No, its not. Tell 'em the commander is in a hurry and he is not in a friendly mood." Pad Control: "... P, Pad is free." Com: >Thank you. ... Oh, and he says your pension survives another day. Out< Pad Control: ... 3D LEGO Quote
