There has been some work in this area in the past, at least one mosaic at Brickworld did this, several years in a row now.

I've been experimenting with some techniques to make "tabula scalata" Lego that forms different images when viewed at different angles. Here's a couple of videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5UY2WZy8MNMNgr157 https://photos.app.goo.gl/q1qqvGUeSYjk5m7i7 and a brief blog https://thediscreetblogproblem.wordpress.com/2021/01/23/putting-lego-in-perspective/

Dear LUGNET Users, after quite some time we have decided to move LUGNET to a more modern cloud-based server platform to improve bandwidth and reliability of the service. While we are aware that technology has advanced and the LUGNET discussion platform is not anywhere near as active as it used to be, we shall try to fix the (still broken) email gateway in the process to facilitate postings if you need them. All other means of access should remain unchanged and if the migration works out as planned, it will keep the site up and running for years to come. Thanks and regards, Jerry

This started as a real-life build with my son that then got embellished in LDD and rendered with bluerender. 

The design is a departure from my typical “Neo-Classic-Space” builds. Its form felt much more “organic” and the green/dark-gray color scheme felt like it should belong to a reptilian race of aliens. It is armed with 2 powerful anti-capital ship cannons that draw power directly from the main engines. it has twin light blasters mounted on the tip of each sponson as well as 4 guided missiles. The cockpit detaches and serves as an escape pod. It is a compact design with only 230 bricks and as such I had to abandon my general rule of including retractable landing gear in my designs.

After it was built, it did feel like it subconsciously drew inspiration from the new-battlestar-galactica cyclon raiders.

I also rendered it as a Blactron ship which felt like it could have fit the general theme.

Enjoy,
