These MOCs are a bit small, I know. I actually do build a lot of small
spacecraft, but up until recently I hadn’t photographed them.
The Gyrofighter came about in micro scale first, as I’d built a stack of them
for my capital ships. I wanted to build something in minifig that closely
resembled it. I’m pleased with the result, mainly because I was able to work
a functional concept into the design. As Gypsy’s mom said, “you gotta have a
gimmick”.

I really like this one. The dish sandwich in the back really does it for me.

The Moonhopper was a quick build to use that cool canopy, and to have an
extremely small, minimalist spacecraft. It looks a bit dowdy next to Tom
McDonald’s StarScoot, though... *shrug*

Minimalist is cool. While it may not be clever or anything, it’s still a neat
little ship. It could easily be made into an official set and sell for about
AU$15 and whip the behind of any space set available today.

So who can identify the asteroid and moon/planet in the above pictures? ;-)

Eros (asteroid) and Rhea (14th moon of Saturn)? Ain’t the internet a marvellous
thing?
Cheers,
