Finally got the Star Trek: The Original Series crew together.

Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty, Bones, Christine Chapel, Sulu and Chekov, all done in BrickHeadz-style with a few character-specific details and accessories pulled from the series.

Kirk has his Type 2 phaser, Spock his tricorder and Vulcan salute, Uhura her communicator and earpiece, Scotty his magnatomic scope and some very, very, very old scotch whisky, and Bones has his medical tricorder and scanner.

Chapel comes with a hypospray and a bowl of plomeek soup for Spock, Sulu has Beauregard - or "Gertrude", depending who you ask - and Chekov has a Type 2 phaser and a tribble, presumably first discovered somewhere just outside Moscow.

Really pleased with how the whole group looks together. I'll be taking them to upcoming lego shows in the UK and Destination Trek next year :)

Hope you guys enjoy - and there are lots more series' to come!

I’ve finished my full Star Trek: The Next Generation BrickHeadz-style crew, with Picard, Riker, Data, La Forge, Beverly Crusher, Troi, Wesley Crusher, Guinan and Worf all together.

I wanted each one to feel recognisable as the character, rather than just as a Starfleet uniform, so a lot of the fun was in choosing the small details and accessories that people would actually associate with them. Some are obvious, like Riker’s trombone, Worf’s bat'leth and Data with Spot, while others come from more specific moments in the series, like Wesley’s Ktarian headset from The Game or Picard’s Ressikan flute.

They were designed as a group, so I also spent quite a bit of time making sure they felt consistent beside each other rather than like nine completely separate builds.

Really happy to finally have the whole Enterprise-D crew finished.

DOCTOR WHO: THE TARDIS

Doctor Who has been travelling through time and space for over six decades, from William Hartnell in 1963 right through to Ncuti Gatwa today.

Rather than focusing on one Doctor, one episode or one era, this display is a celebration of the whole wonderful thing.

At the centre is, obviously, the TARDIS.

Rather than sitting quietly on a street corner, it’s shown hurtling through the Time Vortex, surrounded by all the colour, energy and general chaos that comes with travelling somewhere that might be Tuesday, ancient Rome, the far future or the literal end of the universe.

And because a trip through the Time Vortex apparently isn’t dangerous enough, it’s flanked by two of the Doctor’s most iconic enemies.

The Daleks, because you simply cannot celebrate Doctor Who without the universe’s angriest pepper pots turning up somewhere, and the Weeping Angels, because monsters that move the second you stop looking at them are about as terrifying as it gets.

The Character Studdies™ up front span the history of the show:

• William Hartnell
• Patrick Troughton
• Jon Pertwee
• Tom Baker
• Peter Davison
• Colin Baker
• Sylvester McCoy
• Paul McGann
• Christopher Eccleston
• David Tennant
• Matt Smith
• Peter Capaldi
• Jodie Whittaker
• Ncuti Gatwa

Fourteen Doctors. Two legendary enemies. One impossible little blue box.

63 years of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey adventures.

LEGENDS is back for Volume 5.

This time we’re jumping between three very different flavours of sci-fi comedy: a pristine exploratory starship, a barely roadworthy delivery vessel, and a ship crewed by actors who really weren’t expecting any of this to be real.

As ever, each build combines an iconic vehicle, a recognisable scene from its world and a full set of Character Studdies™.
__________

THE ORVILLE: USS Orville

First up, the USS Orville.

At this scale, the big challenge was getting those three engine rings, the layered hull and the very particular silhouette of the ship to still read properly without turning the whole thing into something enormous.
Below it is the bridge as it appears in New Horizons, with the updated shinier interior, central command area and the crew assembled across the front.

Character Studdies™ include Ed Mercer, Kelly Grayson, Bortus, Claire Finn, Alara Kitan, Gordon Malloy, John LaMarr, Isaac and Yaphit.
__________

FUTURAMA: Planet Express Ship

Good news, everyone!

The Planet Express Ship - Old Bessie herself - gets probably the most colourful LEGENDS display yet. The scene is the Planet Express headquarters on 72nd Street in New New York, complete with the city skyline behind it and that huge, unmistakable Futurama starburst filling the background.

There’s also a little hidden extra: pop the side of the building off and you’ll find Hermes, Zapp Brannigan and Kif tucked away inside.

Out front are Character Studdies™ of Fry, Leela, Professor Farnsworth, Bender, Amy and Dr. Zoidberg.
__________

GALAXY QUEST: NSEA Protector

Never give up. Never surrender.

The NSEA Protector sits above Epsilon Gorniar II, where things have gone somewhat less smoothly for Commander Peter Quincy Taggart. The scene recreates the wonderfully stupid rock monster chase, with Gorignak lumbering after Taggart across the planet surface.

And because this is Galaxy Quest, there is also an extra tan piece included for anyone who feels the scene is more authentic with Taggart inexplicably topless. Though they weren't on the planet, I've included a cutaway to the ship with Mathesar and Laliari watching over the events. 'HaaAAAaaAA-aaa-aa-aaaa...' indeed.

Character Studdies™ include Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, Lt. Tawny Madison, Dr. Lazarus, Tech Sgt. Chen, Crewman #6, Lt. Laredo, Mathesar and Laliari.

NB: Due to a few crazy expensive pieces, I've slightly adjusted the rock monster design.

LEGENDS returns for Volume 4.

Three ships. Three very different corners of science fiction. And probably the most technically awkward trio I’ve tried to squeeze into this scale so far.

As always, each ship is paired with a tiny scene from its world and a set of Character Studdies™.
__________

PROJECT HAIL MARY: The Hail Mary

Amaze amaze amaze!

The Hail Mary is built to display in both of its configurations: its standard flight mode, or opened out into centrifuge gravity mode, with the two ends of the ship extended around the central axis.

The scene recreates Grace and Rocky’s first proper meeting, separated by that transparent wall of xenonite in the connecting tunnel. There’s also a tiny display showing the Petrova Line running between Tau Ceti and Adrian - the green planet where Grace and Rocky eventually make their rather important discovery. Its made with transparent red pieces which would look very cool lit up...

Character Studdies™ include Ryland Grace, Rocky, Eva Stratt, Boyce and, of course, Armando.
__________

FIREFLY: Serenity

Serenity was ridiculously difficult at this size.

There are barely any straight lines on the thing. Getting all of those angles, curves, engine shapes and organic bits of detailing to read as Serenity without making the model substantially larger took a lot of messing around.

The accompanying scene is the classic Train Job, with a blurred high-speed landscape rushing past behind Mal, Zoe and Jayne as they secure the cargo.

Character Studdies™ include Mal, Zoe, Jayne, Kaylee, River, Wash and Inara, complete with one of her classic elegant sheer outfits.
__________

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Galactica

And finally, Galactica.

This one might be my favourite bit of micro-engineering in the collection. There is a lot going on in the shape of this ship, and somehow it all had to fit into a tiny footprint.

There are some really fun SNOT techniques, reversed stud directions and slightly ridiculous connections buried inside to get the armour, flight pods and layered hull details where they need to be. I think the result is crazy accurate for the scale.

The scene is the Galactica hangar deck, featuring a super cute version of Starbuck’s red-and-white, three-engined Viper Mk II. It even has a movable access ladder, and the Viper itself lifts straight out when it inevitably needs to be swooshed around the room.

Character Studdies™ are William Adama, Laura Roslin, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, Lee “Apollo” Adama, Saul Tigh, Gaius Baltar and Number Six.

Three more ships added to the LEGENDS fleet.

Hail Mary. Serenity. Galactica.

What should be in Volume 5?

I wanted this one to feel unmistakably Stargate before you even get to the characters. The Prometheus sits above a compact desert-world scene, with the Stargate, pyramid and blazing sun pulling together the visual language that defined the series from the beginning.

The ship itself is a slightly awkward, very human-looking lump of early interstellar engineering — which is exactly why I like it. It doesn’t have the elegance of the more advanced ships in the series; it looks built rather than grown, borrowed or perfected. Shrinking that chunky shape down while keeping the aircraft carrier-esque bridge, engines and 3 part hull recognisable was the main challenge here.

Below it are Character Studdies™ of O’Neill, Carter, Jackson, Teal’c and Hammond. The core SG-1 team was essential, but Hammond had to make the cut too. You can’t have them disappearing through an alien portal every week without the man calmly authorising it from beneath a mountain.

The finished display comes in at 215 pieces and combines the first Earth-built capital ship with the older, stranger world waiting beyond the gate.
__________

What should be next in the LEGENDS series?

For this one, I wanted to combine the ship with the moment everyone remembers.
Above the display is the freighter Nostromo itself, built at a tiny scale but still accurately shaped to capture that heavy, industrial silhouette. Below it is the mess hall and the chestburster scene, with the crew gathered around Kane just as things start to go very, very bad.

The diorama includes Character Studdies™ of Ripley, Parker, Dallas, Ash, Kane, Jones and the Alien Xenomorph (and the chestburster if we're being accurate), all reduced down into the same deliberately abstract micro style as the rest of the series. At this scale, every colour and stud has to do a lot of work, particularly when trying to make five characters, a cat and one of the most famous movie monsters instantly recognisable.

I liked the contrast of putting the enormous ship above such a cramped, intimate scene. It captures both sides of Alien: the scale and isolation of deep space, and the horror of being trapped inside with something you do not understand.
__________

What should be next in the LEGENDS series?

There was no chance I could make an Expanse build without putting the Roci front and centre. It’s one of those ships that feels like a character in its own right: battered, practical, heavily armed and constantly carrying a crew who are barely holding everything together.

The scene underneath is Eros, with Miller and Julie Mao at the centre of the protomolecule situation. Rather than picking a straightforward action scene, I wanted something that captured the stranger, more unsettling, but also human side of the series, and one that was visually beautiful.

Alongside Miller and Julie, the build includes Character Studdies™ of Holden, Naomi, Amos, Alex and Bobbie Draper, with the colours and silhouettes give each of them just enough identity.

The contrast is probably my favourite part of the model: the hard, military geometry of the Rocinante suspended over the blue, organic chaos of Eros.
__________

What should be next in the LEGENDS series?

LEGENDS returns for Volume 3, moving beyond the Star Trek ships of the earlier collections and into three very different corners of science fiction.

This volume brings together the Prometheus from Stargate SG-1, the Rocinante from The Expanse and the Nostromo from Alien. Each display pairs a micro-scale ship with a compact scene, using the setting and Character Studdies™ to capture more than just the shape of the vessel.

From desert-world adventure, to protomolecule strangeness, to claustrophobic horror, these are three ships that feel inseparable from the stories and people carried inside them.

Above the display is the freighter Nostromo itself, built at a tiny scale but still accurately shaped to capture that heavy, industrial silhouette. Below it is the mess hall and the chestburster scene, with the crew gathered around Kane just as things start to go very, very bad.

The diorama includes Character Studdies™ of Ripley, Parker, Dallas, Ash, Kane, Jones and the Alien Xenomorph (and the chestburster if we're being accurate), all reduced down into the same deliberately abstract micro style as the rest of the series. At this scale, every colour and stud has to do a lot of work, particularly when trying to make five characters, a cat and one of the most famous movie monsters instantly recognisable.

I liked the contrast of putting the enormous ship above such a cramped, intimate scene. It captures both sides of Alien: the scale and isolation of deep space, and the horror of being trapped inside with something you do not understand.
