Stunning design!

[GeoBrick]

Can't get head nor tails from it, but it does look impressive.

I have absolutely no idea what that means. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mmm, I like it when people use that Nexo shield holder part, and hoses always look good. 

Lovely spaceship.

I think they were inferring the same thing I thought - it's hard to tell which is the front, which is the back!

That's not a criticism though, it makes for a very unique ship! Small detail, but I like the triangular tiles for a different take on the bumblebee stripes.

Lol. Pilot is facing the front. Computers are in front of him (he is bit recessed but his visor is clearly visible, I reckon he needs to have those computers to display what's going on in front of him) It has rocket engines at the back and a pointed nose at the front (fairly typical of delta shaped spaceship noses these days 😄)

Thanks, I was unaware of that nexo piece until very recently. Needless to say, I bought about 10 of them! 😄

Cool design. Looks well armoured from the front.

Really? It means I've had to check a couple times to be sure which was front and which the back of the craft because of the orientation of the cockpit canopy. Also, the techniques you used to connect the technic parts with the more regular brick-build part of the craft took some deciphering; In short, you presented a conundrum and a puzzle at the same time.

😊 and... have you figured out how I did it? 😄 (the connection of the technic panels to the regular pieces in the rear body?)

I can only see a couple blue hinges who seem to both support the technic side-panels and are attatched to the gray frame. Without a shot from the bottom I can't tell more.
And I suppose the two extra long connectors who come from the side-panels into the cockpict are to balance things a bit.

Yeah that’s it. Two blue swivel hinges pushed into the technic panel holes. Good eye!

This is indeed a beautifull little ship.  A few more detail pictures would be great.

Love the use of elements

Absolutely love this. And so much more Neo classic space awesomeness on your Instagram… Love the combination of technic panels and Bionicle parts with regular bricks. Thank you for sharing!

[Pirate_King_1982]

Beautiful. Great stuff. Kudos.

Thanks, yeah I really need to buy more of those in. They work so well on spaceships.
