Lego Classic “Spider Ship” Fleet

Before acquiring a larger LEGO space collection, some of my brother and I’s favorite memories were creating space battles with what we called the “spider ships.” Armed with only a bucket of LEGO Classic bricks – most notably 2x2’s, 2x4’s, and a few blue round corner bricks – we amassed an army of ships to create our own imaginative dogfights.

The spider ships were unique vessels, in that while they initially flew as one larger ship, they could break apart and become two smaller, more evasive fighters. Though perhaps not the most stable design, they allowed for a quick destruction at the “hands” of the enemy.

I’m not exactly expecting to win any contests with this entry, but definitely enjoyed a bit of nostalgia looking back on my early days with LEGO.
