Starnight - Original Spacecraft

Hello and WELCOME to a new post from Legomatic! Last time we looked at a cutom Slave 1 moc, and today we're showcasing another Moc, The Starnight. If you are coming from Lego Ideas, welcome! If you are coming from Reddit, also welcome! Let's jump right in.

A bit of backstory, I had to take apart my favorite Lego set of all time, set 70595 NINJAGO Ultra Stealth Raider for a school project. Once that happened, I couldn't let it's legacy go to shame. To let it live on, I built the Starnight, a space fighter built in the same style, that's sort of a shadow of the original set.


The Starnight's dimensions are about 7.25"x 5.5" x 2.5" (in studs, about 23 x 17.5 x 8), so it's pretty small.



Inside you can find a spacious cockpit, with enough room to comfortably seat 2 minifigures, 3 if you don't care about comfort.



On either side is a 6 stud shooter, something which the original set also had. I might update some of the details later, to get it to flow better. On to top of each gun section is a strip of caution tape, warning that this is no mere piece of machinery.



Around the back is the engine, and I'm a huge fan of engines that just flow flawlessly into the body, and that's what I tried to accomplish here using two Windscreen 7 x 4 x 2 Round with Handle pieces.


Finally, the pilot, which consists of a Cloud City policeman torso and legs, a rebel pilot head, and a Lloyd hairpiece with a silver plaster as well as a white helmet.

And that's about it. Please consider supporting this project on Lego Ideas, and have a great day!

Steampunk Sentry and AI! Lego Ideas Idea

Hello and welcome to a post from Legomatic, and today we'll be looking at my first attempt at building in Steampunk, a fantastical concept that is extremely fun to build in. If you are from Lego Ideas, please consider supporting my project, it would mean a lot. I imagine the story behind this, is that in the modern world, an old, fanatical AI developed back when steam engines were used in every device has watched the world develop before him. He is insulted by the gleaming, white, seamless devices and wants to bring back what once was. In order to make his dream reality, he has renovated one of his long dead masters projects into something a little more sinister, to exact his vision upon everyone else, whether they like it or not. Here is the machine, The ST33m 550, a walker armed with dual rodburn cannons. It runs off coal(of course), stored in a internal tank, which then heats rods of metal within to white hot temperatures, which are then expelled out the end, bu...

War Machine-HULKBUSTER!

Hello and welcome to another epic post from Legomaster. This week I will be showing you a longterm project that I have been working on for over 2 months. I did not build every day, some weeks I did nothing at all, sometimes only one or two small adjustments.  Here I present it to you: The WAR MACHINE HULKBUSTER!!! It's a little over 9 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Now for the functions. Here is the cockpit inside the chest that opens on a small hinge. Here is a arm, which has 3 fingers, a gun, and a quad-piston extenders. Here is a cool fact: The upper part of the arm is a 6 stud shooter and the shoulder protectors are nexo knight shields.  Up here you can see the main gun which has 4 rotating barrels(in my imagination) to mow down enemies. The hulkbuster is powered by not 1, not 2, but 3 arch reactors! How else will you power all those mechanics? The round brick on top is to hold the War Machine helmet once I get a War Machine minifigure...

My First Post: Fighters and Distracters

Okay this is my very first post so don't blame me on mistakes. Here is my fighter class on mini spaceships (I will show how to build the first ship in a later post!) Here is the "Distracter" class of spaceships (I will also show how to build the long red ship later on!) Hope you liked my first post!
