Neo Classic Space

Thomas has been keeping the NCS flame alive, producing a series of great models since our last update.

The ground crew sphere walker is ready to roll.

Thomas keeps the ball rolling with the Omaron - excellent use of spheres.

This speeder is another fine looking piece of hardware.

The Beguna is a wonderfully eye-catching model. Such bold shaping and strong design. Awesome work, Thomas!

We are saddened to learn today of the death of one of the true heroes of Neo Classic Space, Nnenn (Nate Nielson). Nate died after a road accident earlier this month and leaves a beloved wife and two young sons behind. Our deepest sympathy goes to them at this most difficult time.

Nnenn was a truly inspirational builder, who had a great love of spaceships of all shapes and sizes. I doubt there's a spaceship theme he hasn't tried his hand at. Famously he pionered "Nnenn-scale", which features figures made mostly from 1x1 bricks and round plates, as well as building huge fleets of nanoscale dreadnauts. He also perfected the Vic Viper, producing dozens (or possibly hundreds) of variations.

Nnenn was a pioner of Neo Classic Space, producing several early models, but even his early contributions refused to conform to expected norms and everywhere he went he insisted on breaking new ground.

The Classic Space Federation is not just about sleek fighter and exploration ships. Sometimes just getting crews where they need to be, and when it comes to shuttling personnel, one of the most reliable workhorses is the LL-445 "Mayfly" designed by the reveered Doctor Sinister.

The double wing design was chosen for aerodynamic advantages in atmospheric operations, and to hide the large fuel tanks.

Its design builds upon the LL-444 fighter, and it's no surprise that they look very similar.

The LL-445, however, has much increased carrying capacity, allowing it to carry either a pilot and five passengers, or a significant amount of essential supplies.

The Mayfly is popular among crews, especially after the incident on one of the Kroktal moons, which the crew attribute their survival to the sturdy design of the craft.

Pasukaru76 has brought the hopes of kids throughout the galaxy into the Neo Classic Space age, with this rather fun diorama. We particularly like the Christmas card themed background.

Happy Christmas from everyone at the Neo Classic Space academy!
