I've been working on a new city build in Studio, and I needed a VTOL or hovercraft for a landing pad. So I thought of the Alpha Team Cruiser set 6772, an old favorite, and decided to make some modifications. I took the engines, turned them on their sides, doubled them up, and then ended up completely replacing them anyway...

I was initially just planning on this being a hovercraft, but as it developed it just happened to work out so that the engines can be flipped horizontally to make it more of a cruiser. Sure the intakes are facing each other and it doesn't make that much sense, but whatever. It looks cool.

I also tried to replace the radar dish with a cannon, a railgun, and a few other ideas, but nothing really fit, so I just left that as-is.

I was going to name it the Blacktron Cruiser, but obviously that name is already taken... So for now it's just Blacktron Hovercraft Alpha.

Backgrounds were downloaded from https://www.1980somethingspace.com/# and added through GIMP.

Last year I shared a MOC I created called "Blacktron City Streets", where I envisioned a Blacktron cyberpunk style city. I finally had a few ideas for a followup, so here is the Blacktron Waterfront District.

I wanted to make use of the raised baseplate with the river, which ended up being a bit of a pain, but still pretty fun. Essentially we have a river of garbage emptying out into a beach full of scrap metal. So not the most luxurious housing bloc in the galaxy, but it's mostly free of alien monsters, so it's actually pretty nice for Blacktron.

As of now, there's not really much in the interior of an of the buildings, and the backside could use a little modification as it's currently a bit bare. But I've been happy with how version 1.0 came out, so wanted to share that.

Was visiting my dad's house where my Legos are kept, so took a few pictures of my space collection. Please forgive the mess, it's unfortunately a dingy old basement and I'm not there enough to keep it nice and clean. But thought some here might appreciate it nonetheless!
