Realizing now that I've been building in the wrong scale for the entire time I've been doing Homeworld style builds. After seeing there were two pilots in the Taiidan Interceptor, I did some research, finding that the craft is 17.4 meters long. Links: forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?83943-Just-how-big-ar...

Now, say a LEGO minifig is 1.5 meters tall, and let's say five bricks are close enough to one minifig. That would mean my interceptor, which is around 42 studs, is only 12 meters long. This would mean a Taiidan scout is 45 studs, an interceptor about 60, and a corvette (depending on which one) could range from 120 to 150 studs.

My first true build in over a year. This whole time I have been trying to come up with a design that fits in the same style as Homeworld, but is different enough to be somewhat original. I had fun building this- since it's so large I was able to cram in as many details and colors as I wanted to, and still managed to not make it too busy. This is the largest thing I've ever built. The body itself is 35x35 studs, and with the pokey bits it's 50x40. This will be coming to BrickFair with me, and will be my main build there. Enough about the build though.

This belongs to the same faction of pirates as my Cobra, and I imagine it to serve the purpose of an attack craft. Very heavily armored, kind of slow but maneuverable enough with an incredibly fast firing cannon. Think A-10 in space.

The latest version of this. After looking at it for a year I stopped liking the long cannon and back pokey thingy and took them off. I feel like it looks more like an interceptor now. This belongs in the same faction as my Tiger Moth. This is the interceptor of choice for the pirates, fast and maneuverable with enough armor to take a couple hits and can send the punches right back. Think F-16 in space.

This will be coming with me to BrickFair.

Borrowed my friend's camera. Much better photo quality. Expect more photos of different builds coming very soon. All my BrickFair builds are done now, and I'm ready to go to my first con.

I'm back! Probably the most fun I've had while building, and definitely the fastest I've ever completed a project. The building time took about fifty minutes, the sticker work (which is light blue, but got washed out) took about ten, and the photo shoot was actually the hardest part.

Took a step in a different direction with this, and this will be coming with me to BrickFair along with three other builds that I have to complete. If you're going to BrickFair, I'll be seeing you soon.

This is meant to be a space racer, hence the decals and lack of weaponry.

Sorry for the shitty quality photo, I took it with my iPod 'cause I'm lazy. And hopefully a lot of people will be seeing it in person.

Hope you guys enjoy it, because it's great to be posting again.
