Built this based on the R:Tron prototypes from Back of Box Builds; but in Space Police 1 color scheme and with some adjustments from the instructions. I don't have the bottom 3x3 faceted pieces in black, nor the top versions in blue yet. Using 1980s-2000s parts, like the Team Alpha trans red panels for jail cell and 2x2 jumper plates to better secure the cell on the ship. Raised rear fins by one plate height with a 4x4 plate compared to the instructions, for a more secure fin placement, and added a Space Police printed slope behind the accessories area.

It is clear that this is a predecessor to the SP2 Rebel Hunter set, so the SP1 color scheme seemed to fit it the best.

This is based on the RTron prototype ship, and is a clear predecessor to the SP2 Rebel Hunter. Used 1980s-2000s pieces, particularly notable the 2001+ red trans panels from Team Alpha series' Ogel set. Also used 2x2 single jumper plates to secure the jail cell/cargo module without the magnet.

So, someone was selling this on Facebook Marketplace. Based on the serial starting with a 1, different, older logos, and "Parents Pending" sticker; I have figured that this is one of the earliest Paratrooper frames sold. Whoever built this went for silver/grey parts and RST 281 EL front fork; which has like 50mm travel (as opposed to newer Paratroopers having 80-100mm travel) and bottoms out way too easily with my fat ass on the bike. I've so far swapped the handlebar, painted the chainring and stem, and taken it mostly apart. Got new brifters (brake/shifter units); put gun rack hooks on the handlebar; not much clearance there. Will get replacement triple crankset, proper heavy duty rack with pannier support, new seatpost clamp with rack mounts, a rigid fork likely the Carver 440mm A2C steel fork when it comes in stock; new saddle and seatpost in black. Don't think it belongs in r/shittytechnicals yet🤣It will get new black V-brake set of a decent quality, and I have new cables and cable housing waiting for a better cable cutter, probably either a Shimano cable cutter or a Knipex Bowden cutter. Summer project; and it will have the M81 pouches attached to it, except maybe the waist pack up front if it interferes too much with the cables, brake and shifter units

Redid my recolored FX Star Patroller into Space Police 2 scheme. I think I like this scheme actually.. it looks in theme and fits the design of Space Police ships in general. I still have yet to get more 8.5L tubes and still need arrow tiles but for now this is pretty good looking to me. Last two pictures are of the rear section with too much red, as a simple palette swap of the original blue and grey rear section

Changed up my recolored FX-Star Patroller to fit Space Police 2 color scheme, and last two pics are of the rear with way more red than needed 🤣I think this current color scheme actually fits the ship's looks and purposes, if the rear has a jail cell bay instead of a droid and rover. Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

My mistake for those who saw my previous post; it was posted in a FB group discussing the same vest picked up from an USAF vet and had no explanation to the photo itself.

With the 80s-90s parts I have available; did this ship in the Gamma-V color scheme of grey and black with trans green windows, trans blue, red, yellow bits and a Classic Space logo slope. I know I am missing two 8.5L tubes for the front part; but these are all I have at the moment. I may redo when I get the right parts, or get the parts needed to build Gamma-V Laser Craft instead of this.

Redid the bottom so that the interior floor would be 6 wide, then swapped some panels for trans dark blue panels; made a raised seat with controls for the second crewman, and then built a rover. Also redid the roof and rear doors so that the roof could open up to show the inside, and shortened the doors so that it doesn't swing out so wide on each side. Still using robot arms to retain the ramp, similar to how the Blacktron Aerial Intruder retains it's large windshield. Last two pics with the updated 918 and 924 spacecrafts

Bottom half is mostly LL- 918 with some extras, like two engines and the boat bottom round bumps. Top half is wholly different in 1981 Starfleet Voyager color scheme. Basically this spaceman found a wrecked 918, took off the entire top half and then installed new white fairings, fins, and a Saucer Scout canopy for better visibility, and then scabbed on a booster rocket between the new fins, to make a high speed space skiff. Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Bottom half is essentially the same as the original 918, but with boat bumps and finned jet engines. Top half is wholly customized, using late 80s to early 90s pieces. The idea is that this astronaut found a damaged 918, and then took off the top half of the craft, then built onto the good hull/wings, using fewer pieces and having a removable booster rocket between the new fins. It also has 360 degree view from the octagon canopy pilfered from a wrecked Spyrius Saucer Scout. Hope you guys enjoyed this hot rodded 918!

Picked up a bunch of wings and wedges recently, had a go again at creating a relatively large spaceship with the LL-928/497 wing form and general details. Utilized Space Police 2 Galactic Mediator styling up front, and did my own interpretation of the boxy main hull. No rover yet, and I didn't have enough 4x4 wedges with corner cutouts, so used newer 4x4 wedges with notches.

This ship does give off space truck/cargo hauler vibes

Picked up a lot of wings and wedge pieces, so I went and built a relatively large MOC in LL-928 Galaxy Explorer style/wing plan; and utilized some aspects of Space Police 2 Galactic Mediator, particularly the double canopy and faceted corners. Didn't have enough of the 4x4 wedges with corner cutouts so had to use newer wedge pieces. Don't have a rover yet, and still need to make or get more Classic Spacemen.

This thing is a beast but looks a bit better than the previous rendition with the double side by side canopies and lower height.

Definitely giving off transport/cargo hauler vibes.

Couldn't figure out how to make it modular given the LL-928 wing form
