If you ever build a space faction of craft, this is a good look independent of any of the other Spacers, which is kind of cool.

It reminds me of @erunaamo‘s work in its LBG bar work. I think that as Spacers you two guys could blend your Space…Read more

Rules:
1. 35 parts + 1 minifig (29 parts, as our inspiration sports, seems too limiting)
2. Minifig accessories count against part count
3. Must be able to call it a scanner with a straight face

Note: it doesn’t have to be a vehicle – many sets had cool scanners…Read more

Thoughts:

* This is proof that “ANYthing can be Space.”
* B for Blackton, F for Futuron, M for M-Tron, P for Space Police. Of course!
* Wait, wait, wait… the W unfolds to make another W?!
* THIS is what I mean when I say “color blocking”: colors can act with and against shaping to amplify it, and there are many color…Read more

The other thing I thought of is the impact of a swarm of *orange* CS figs as a massive construction crew, with complex EVA suits, big power tools, flying space tugs maybe. Knowing your style, probably building a…Read more

Heck the first visors of any kind I recall came with the yellow castle

It’s a space suit. Space suits have been basically monochromatic since forever, in reality and in every fictional setting. A different visor color is fine. I cringe slighly at using the newer helmets, which mess with the classic, almost VW-bug-iconic lines of the original spacefig design…but I use them anyway at times. A jetpack or…Read more

I do combine different colors of hips, torsos, arms and hands, and I’ve found that changing the hip part to a contrasting color makes it look like a harness, so I do that often.

This doesn’t work as well for Classic Space figs,…Read more

I envision one side being the inside of it and the other side being the out side if it. The structure itself will be predominately gray.
