First, the space Pirates. I have Zed Cannon 1:

The front of Zed
Cannon 1’s gun was inspired by the engines on Mladen’s
D-44 Landing Barge.
And I blame the idea for angled bits sticking out the top and bottom of the
engines on Soren, though I don’t have any specific model in mind.

Awesome! This is really a wonderful asymmetric design, and it works visually,
IMO. The engines are also great, especially the inner black plates, which
strategically conceal what would have been otherwise a boring and empty space.
Well done! I’m also glad you got inspired by my Barge. It’s an MOC I often go
back to myself and see stuff I forgot I ever built! ;-)

Zed Cannon 2:

I like this one as well! It’s interesting to see how much it differs from the
first Zed Cannon. I like the weapons, vernier thrusters, and the cockpit. I also
like the modularity of the parts, and how, as a result, the whole comes across
as essentially a cockpit strapped onto a chassis of engines and guns. Cool.
And I must say that it is also refreshing to see a .space MOC with so many studs
exposed. If you covered them, I think the retro, Classic-Space look of whole
thing would have been lost.
BTW:
”This came together very quickly for me- I built the entire ship except for the
gun in about 3 hours from start to finish. I babysat 4 kids and cooked
dinner for us in that time as well.“
Wow... You sure can multitask! :-)

Next I have a
mini version of Melpomene, Melpo-MINI:

I loved the original, minifig-scale Melpomene and this microfig version is just
as nice!

And finally,
the “more”- KraataCorp’s Hover Can:

Ah, what a
spacey day.

I don’t like that ‘can’ (???) piece very much. Sorry. :-(
Keep on building and posting Tony! You got some great stuff to show, and it
really inspires me to build some spacey creations myself.
