The new upgraded alien UFO UF-250 prototype.
Made by aliens, for aliens.
The two things in the middle of each wing, are energy shield generators.The two things on either side of the wings are rockets.The four magnets at the front are the top of the engine.

The angle on this shot reminds me of a spaceship, though that's not what I was originally going for. I think that's why I like these magnetic spheres so much, you never know exactly what you're going to end up with.

Unintentional Alien Encounters;

Incoming Alien craft viewed via reflections on the 'landing pad' from the 'launch bay'

How about a Space Station? This makes me think of Space Station K7 from the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles".

Any ST and B5 fans out there should check out the Epicness of this battle from a little Finnish ST parody called Star Wreck - In The Pirkinning ... amazing SPFX done by these guys from scratch.

I was invited to add this to the Spaceship Challenge thread. It's more of a hovering robot with cannons, but I will let you decide. :)

Just stopping by (again) to check out what you guys/gals have been adding. It's inspiring to see what your imaginations get up to with just a few magnetic dots.
Don't forget to share on Dotpedia.com as well!

I feel you guys have the rest of us at a sort of disadvantage seeing how you have been practicing spaceships for almost 2 years. Can't wait to see the entries!

Full-HD download-links included, in case someone wants to use it as desktop background. The moon was much more work to shoot than the spaceship^^

@Auxentiu97 Our entire staff is trained to become professional builders actually. We have tests and certain timed builds. We also do weekly team builds, just so we can learn new tricks, techniques and share ideas.
We also do our best to support artists. This isn't a cheap hobby by any means. Most adult hobbies aren't, like my other favorite hobbies, Magic cards and Transformers collecting.

'The O'Neill' - Just as in the Stargate episode, before they had to blow it up, this rendition of it is also in Mid-Construction...xD :-)
I liked the episode when Thor and Samantha Carter had to blow it up to destroy the replicators. The best part is a toss up between trying to get Thor to blow it up & him stating but it's the most advanced we have and it's not even finished being built yet!! or telling O'Neill the Asgard named a ship after him & he got all perky, until they said they had to blow it up..lol xD

Thanks!
It was in the early hours of the morning (when there were no customers around) and I was knackered and swearing a fair amount, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. It was still there (albeit in a slightly less prominent position) when I went to Harrods last summer.
