LEGO The Look to the Star and Find Hope from Breathing Space, Fading Frontier

Chunky LEGO spaceship

Back with another ship from Breathing Space, Fading Frontier. This one had some tricky details that made it ideal for a larger build. In particular, the eight small engines around the large one and the window to the reactor area would be tough at a smaller scale and might have to be dealt with more by suggestion than anything else.

LEGO The Bacall from Breathing Space, Fading Frontier

Small scale lego space freighter

Back again with some fan art for the podcasts Breathing Space, Fading Frontier. This is another model adapted from a ship design by Scott Paladin.

The engine area was particularly finicky with this, but it turned out rather nicely. The updated version here also includes a transparent stand. Parts should run under $10, though as always for small projects, it may be better to include them as part of a larger order to save on shipping and handling.

LEGO Knight from A Knight of Shred and Patches

Another of my favorite podcasts is A Knight of Shreds and Patches, a post-apocalyptic story of a band of mercenaries trying to make ends meet, with a big, beat-up armored robot.

Overall this model turned out well. It’s got the sort of half-disassembled feel of the Knight from the show, and does so for around $20 in parts. There’s enough articulation to modify the poses slightly, but the arms in particular are very delicate. Also, to get the right leg shape, the legs aren’t able to be extended any further, so you’re basically just getting the ability to move the legs a little wider or narrow and point the feet slightly in either direction, but it looks great.

It’s a great piece for display, but isn’t sturdy enough for play.
