Classic Space Lego - Galaxy Explorer WIP

[Hyperspace]

Wow, this brings back memories! I had that kit! Coolness...

Excellent, I cant wait to see the transparent yellow peices.

You could always bumpmap the lego logo if you didnt fancy modeling it on every bump.

Damn, I so wanted this particular set as a kid. Got several of the smaller ones though.

I have a "lego" displacement map on every little "bump" or "button" or whatever they're called - but I turned them off for now just to speed up the renders. I'll start on the transparent yellow pieces and work on texturing the pieces that had images (computer consoles, "LL 928" piece, etc.) soon.

This, to me, was the crown jewel of the classic space lego line. You could drive a car up and into the back - how cool is that?!! There were so many good pieces in this set, and the ground plates were awesome. I wish that Lego would re-release some of this stuff, I'd be all over it.

I have a ground plate with a crater on that I picked up at a car boot sale.

I thought I would be quids in on ebay, but they arent worth that much, despite being out of circulation for 30 years or more.

Utterly impressive. As having the slightly smaller ship (LL918 in the UK) I can definately appreciate this WIP.

I'm surprised no-ones thought about releasing a large scale pack of 3d lego pieces.

I've still got all of my original space lego at my parent's place, including this kit Nice job so far, although the plastic is a little it too shiny at the moment

I agree completely.

Very impressive work! Would you be willing to post more wireframes of the more complex pieces, such as the door and hinge bricks?
