Stardefender 2022

The blue/grey colours are often associated to classic space sets, but I love the combination of white/blue/black with red accents in the Futuron series. Among those sets, the most recognisable is 6932: Stardefender 200, one of my favourite classic LEGO spaceships. I was wondering what it would look like using modern curved parts, so I have completely redesigned the ship.

The final model pays homage to the original, but stands on its own as a spaceship. The pods can be detached too, and the craft accommodates four astronauts. I have retained the general outline of the weapons system and the engine nozzles -why change something that was already perfect? The only thing I never liked much was that the main engines were at an angle to the main axis of the ship, so I have fixed that.

Inside, there are lots of computers and displays. Those in the pods move up and down with a robot arm. The commander's chair can be reclined. And there's room for the classic space logo too!

Hope you like it!
