Posted May 2, 20186 yr Hello there, I got back to Lego after many years when I built the Saturn V last year. After that, a colleage ask me the far-reaching question, if you could buy bricks separatly. After googling I found Bricklink, LDD and the likes, and by now I've got several shelfs full of models, and start running into problems to make more room. I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi series, so I got a lot of StarTrek models, several from BSG and Babylon 5, some (unofficial) StarWars models, as well as some individual items from films and series (Dune, 2001, Interstellar etc.). I started building models from unofficial instructions, continued with reverse engineering models from pictures, and by now I'm designing my own models from scratch. I still wish to learn how to improve the stability of bigger models tho, it's a little bit disappointing when parts of the model that look so stable in LDD just break off in real life ;) If there is any interest, I can post some pictures of the models. Best regards, Christian
May 2, 20186 yr Hi Christian - welcome to EB! The Saturn V is such a great set; I can see how that would grab your interest especially given your science/scifi leanings. I'd love to see some of your MOCs. It would be lovely to see some more Start Trek stuff since I think that's underrepresented in Lego when compared to the likes of Star Wars and general SciFi or Anime builds.
May 2, 20186 yr Hello Christian, welcome to Eurobricks! Nice to see someone is coming back to Lego, getting really inspired and is building their own models. Please feel free to share pictures of them. I'm a big Star Trek and B5 fan myself, so you definitely got my attention here.
May 3, 20186 yr Author This is my StarTrek shelf: I've used designs from http://www.deckdesigns.de, the Bricklink Gallery, http://www.brickcommander.com, http://www.moc-pages.com and several others I can't seem to find right now. And ofc (even if not real Lego): Edited May 3, 20186 yr by Krischan1712
May 6, 20186 yr I like your collection of micro Star Trek ships! Nice to see the DS9 station in there as well. And yes... I was also tempted by that TOS Enterprise set, but still can't bring myself to buy non-Lego, and I don't like their lack of creativity with the specialized "cheat" pieces like the nacelle pylons. Still... it does look good.

Sure: Flickr-Album The design of this model is from http://www.brickcommander.com / http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=353008 Edited May 6, 20186 yr by Krischan1712
