All ships in this thread have been inspired or are outright copies of lego models i found on the internet
you can find inspiring lego spaceship models yourself at places like this (be prepared for some serious awesomeness):

If somebody has need for any of the development files, like blender files or uncompressend and higher resolution textures, just give me a call and they'll be yours


(P3D links are using much smaller .jpgs as textures and are meant for first impression only!)
These are the ships based on lego models that i've created myself:

  I like the drone very much! Can you post a picture of the original lego model?

[fightermedic]

sure, here you go:

not a 1 on 1 copy but pretty close this time around

[whitearrow]

Nice! Is the design yours?

[Lepanto]

You've been quite the prolific modeler, Mr. fightermedic; congratulations.

A point of criticism: Neither the drone nor the fighter really look that "Shivan", in my opinion. Besides the dorsal curved spikes on the drone, they both look more at home in the Terran fleet.

[fightermedic]

Nice! Is the design yours?

no, random find on the internet
it's amazing, there is enough cool stuff out there to fill a lifetime of modeling, hence the thread title

@Lepanto: agreed, they probably aren't going to be the most shivan looking models ever, but i don't think they are terribly wrong either

[Mad Bomber]

The original lego model reminds me of the GTF Claymore, from INFR1.

[fightermedic]

i've added a P3D of the frigate to the first post

[Rodo]

Nice model, quite a weird looking shape but at the same time a remarkable refreshing design.
I've never had any lego models, now I think I should have asked for some when kid.

[fightermedic]

added the engines, first post updated
now only detailing in the mid section and the back remains
i think this is turnin out to be quite an interesting ship, but i already dread the texturing

[whitearrow]

I agree. I like all those fins and small details you are adding! Nice job! Did you already think what specie/faction is your frigate meant for?

[Alan Bolte]

I think the main thing that keeps it from looking Shivan is the uniformity from fore to aft. If the spine weren't quite so straight and the length of the side panels less uniform, it'd look plenty Shivan. I'm thinking with a bit of a morphing it could look like the hate-child of the Rakshasa and the Demon, but with the long thin spikes from the Cain.

[fightermedic]

morphing the spine into something less straight might be a good idea indeed, i will see about that

[fightermedic]

the model of the frigate, which i'm going to call SFg Beelzeboul, is now complete and the p3d link updated
on to the textureing

[whitearrow]

That's a great job! Although the design is complex all elements are very neat. I'm looking forward to seeing it textured!

[Nyctaeus]

To be honest... The frigate doesn't look shivan. Even a little. There are planety of spikes and other shivan stuff, but the main shape is definitely not shivan. Reminds me a second incarnation of Stratcomm's heavy AWACS by DE Team, rather than new shivan warship of death. Maybe some jammer, big freighter, subspace perturber... Whatever.

[mjn.mixael]

Debris for these better be individual lego pieces...

[An4ximandros]

They should be all the bits of the ship broken apart, that way it looks like breaking a Lego kit.

[fightermedic]

some progress with the texture
it's about half way done

[Lorric]

It makes me think of some kind of giant insect.
