Too bad the pricing on expansions is still rough. $40 for 2-3 mobile suits is about the same or worse than some GW kits. I'll definitely get the starter, but I'm not sure about this in the long term.

Oh, I don't think it's bad, I just don't like *any* horror movies. And a director's previous work is often a factor in spurring interest I might otherwise not have had (i.e. from a premise or trailer), so when I looked into Oak Street I had no reason to pursue it any further.

The trailers really failed to sell me on it. I didn't see much reason to care about the family (other than Ewan McGregor being there), and the dinosaurs felt arbitrary. And I'm not a fan of the director's other work. It's probably better than I'm giving it credit for, but that's why I skipped it.

Morning! In case you missed this, I have a funny little thing on YouTube. Actually, the viewing figures are quite good. But I can still see most of the world's population hasn't watched it. And it's when you get the whole world's population watching that you start to see the benefits career-wise.

Fantastic texture. Love the mushrooms and vertebrae, and the top-heavy composition with everything growing out from that narrow trunk at the bottom.

I thought this was a painting at first. The limited palette makes every bit of it look deliberate, and the textures feel almost like abstract expressionism. Beautiful shot.

Oof, that is rough. Bad enough for a short flight, but horrendous for a long trip. Hopefully you can work around the delay and then find an airline with less a arbitrary attitude toward your comfort, scheduling, and satisfaction.

Yeah, sadly instructions do take a while. That'd be the sort of thing I'd sell or offer on Patreon, like most other builders do, but I don't have anything set up for that. Best I can really offer is an exploded view of a particular build or two that you'd like to see the insides of.

I don't share the Studio files of my builds, that feels too... personal, I guess? And I don't want someone importing them directly into some project.

Thank you! I'm pleased with how this turned out, balancing the creative push of prompts against a consistent build size and budget.

onlunarseas @onlunarseas.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Thanks! The payoff with small, simple builds is definitely when you get a bunch together. I was pretty loose with the scale, though; I should probably have made a few smaller designs for some of the neutral ships instead. But then, cruise ships are huge, so it's not implausible. Anyway, fun project!

onlunarseas @onlunarseas.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I see these as good designs for Patreon rewards or blind boxes. Each has a part cost ranging from $2-4, with the $1 corvettes and probes sold in pairs, so value doesn't range too wildly. Of course, one could always customize them, or just purchase the individual parts and skip the random element.

Here's a look at the final collection of #LEGO ships I made for #Spaceshiptember this year. Limiting the scope to tabletop wargame minis helped me stay on track despite a number of distractions. I also liked keeping (mostly) within a budget—the total is under $73 for the complete set. #SST #SST26

Day 30: Homage. My inspiration for this one was the Khar-Kushan mothership from Homeworld 3. Here it's a carrier with a forward-facing launch bay. It's a few cents over its $4 budget, but I'm too pleased with the results to change it. And that's the red fleet done! #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

I was gonna say I never understood Hellraiser but now I'm thinking about my Gunpla purchases since Full Armor Unicorn and how I have one literally called Ex-S Gundam on order and maybe when I build that Char himself will appear and surely I'll at least hear him out so I dunno maybe I do get it.

Day 29: Lasers. Here's the last ship for the blue fleet, another $2 destroyer. I considered keeping the faction lower-tech, without any energy weapons. But this design emerged while working on the ship for day 24, and I liked it too much not to include it. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Decided to take a crack at digitally coloring in another of Rob's fantastic ships, with shading and flat colors. I hadn't intended to give it a Gallian livery, but I didn't try all that hard to avoid it either. Anyway, go look at all of his other work.

The site redesign is indeed very, very nice. Clean and clear but still a sense of style about it. Great work, and of course your comics remain the best in the biz.

Day 28: Repair. I considered a tender to accompany and support a combat fleet, but I think it would have been too big. So at my wife's suggestion I instead put some smaller ships repairing a larger, damaged one. Definitely getting burnt out now, but nearly there. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

There are certainly better coffee sources out there, but I love a Starbucks. I get a cinnamon dolce latte from there at least once a week and it's always a delightful experience. Also regularly get a few of their whole bean coffees for my French press at home.

Day 27: Guns. This cruiser started off as the unused draft for day 19 (Armored). Not as many guns on it as I might have liked, but I'm limited by my own budget. In fact, try as I might I can't get this under $3, but I refuse to compromise the look to save 8¢. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 26: Scanners. I thought it'd be fun to use minifig accessories to make a couple of unmanned probes. The first is called a scanner tool, while the other is the classic Space gun/camera. I haven't gotten to use coral or magenta yet, so I added a splash of color. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 25: Missiles. This one started off way back on day 13, as an early draft of the carrier. It wasn't quite large enough for a capital ship, but was easily revised into a missile cruiser. And that wraps up the green fleet; still a few more to go for red and blue. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 24: Blue. Naturally I'm using this for yet another ship in the blue and yellow fleet. For this one I built off the destroyer made for day 14, making a more symmetrical design but retaining the irregular coloration. A simple build, but effective enough. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 23: Ruins. Wrecked ships floating in the void are perfect "terrain" for a tabletop wargame. For this batch, I didn't aim to make them match any existing designs, I just threw parts together to suggest broken, derelict hulls. The whole set of four is just $3. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 22: Huge. This started off as the rejected draft from day 19 (Armored), but it was considerably smaller than the green fleet's carrier. I went through several iterations (at right), finding cheaper but larger parts to increase size but stay within budget. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 21: Organic. I always struggle with this prompt, or ones like it. I find it challenging in this medium and at this scale to not just make yet another fish-like ship. Ultimately that's exactly what I wound up doing, but I do like the result: a $3 luxury cruiser. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Day 19: Armored. My first draft was too long and didn't look particularly heavy. I'm much more pleased with this shorter, bulkier build. But it's 10¢ cheaper than other cruisers; I just couldn't find a way to make it match in value without compromising the look! #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

More progress on RX-124 Gundam TR-6 [Haze'n-thley II-Rah]. At this point the body is complete apart from the hands. Next up is the shoulder equipment including two beam cannons, then the two handheld long blade rifles. Fantastically tall and imposing for a HG kit, if a bit delicate of a build.

Day 18: Angular. I figured this suited the red fleet best, and I wanted to give it another $3 cruiser, this time with a torpedo launcher. I considered a 45° rotation of the sharp, angled pieces, but didn't want it to look too similar to day 15. I like the result. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26
