Another weekend goes by and still did not receive the extra parts I need to complete my diorama. At the same time, I’m trying to see if I can really maintain an update each week. So while I’m waiting, I’ve decided to use my Lego time to build something I wanted to do for a while. Ever since The Space Rover Explorer 31107 came out, I can’t help but notice how cool the starfighter alternate build is.
Upon examining the instructions, this actually can be a very simple build if you have the parts. It’s also a creator 3 in 1 set which means the builds are accomplished with the restrictions to the parts in the set. By using my own parts, the build uses less pieces and the outcome is pretty cool too. With the most recent Minifigure Series 21 carrying a Space Police Minifig, I couldn’t help but make him a starfighter.
Partially Inspired by the Space Police 5981 Raid VPR.
The color scheme is strictly white, black, gray with the transparent red and blue. I can further enhance it later, but I wanted to show off how cool this creator build is.
Needs landing gear, I know. I’ll add it later. I might even consider making a small vignette to place this in.
I changed the tail to just 1 stud instead of the yellow white 2 stud from the original.
I also got rid of the clips in the back that holds the radio and binoculars. It really was an odd spot to store it.
For a build that only took me an hour to do. I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m thinking about building a few more in slightly different shapes and colors and maybe put more effort to complete this one too. This is why, the Creator 3 in 1 sets will always be my favorite Lego theme.
