Day 29: Drones. Tried a bunch of ideas on a day when I had too little time. But I'm very pleased with what I finally came up with. Zero Point uses this stealthy fighter-scale drone for both site security patrols and CAS; missiles are concealed within. #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

Day 28: Exploration. I started this for day 24, but it wasn't really capturing "test flight". So I put it aside, with just the hab ring and engines done, and finished it today. This was a fun one-off, not part of my setting or to any particular scale. #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

Day 27: Station. Here's a static defense post for the Khuraltan Navy, with four each of main guns and point defense turrets. The initial jellyfish-like concept came to mind quickly, but actually coming up with a good design was trickier than expected. #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

Day 26: Superliminal. This took a heck of a lot of work; I'm amazed I got it done in time. I took the ship design from day 18 and created a stop-motion animation, rendered out frame by frame, of it arriving from FTL travel, then disappearing once more. #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

Day 25: Lasers. Started off by looking at what transparent parts are available. I wanted a long, prominent beam, but it's difficult to join bars end to end, so much of it wound up inside the ship. Drew heavily from the wrecked ship atop this page for The Signal from Tölva (https://bigrobotltd.itch.io/the-signal-from-tlva). Art by Ian McQue if I'm not mistaken. I also made an alternate build, inspired by this piece (https://bsky.app/profile/macspace.bsky.social/post/3lzewege5hs2i). #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25

Day 24: Test Flight. Struggled for ideas—shelved one for a later prompt, while another was too boring. But I'm glad I pushed through, because I love how this turned out. Exposed tubes and wires don't suit my setting, but I'd like to do more like this. #LEGO #Shiptember #Spaceshiptember2025 #SST25
