I just got my son this set and I think it one of the best LEGO spaceships I’ve
seen in a long time, especially at a $20 price point. I’ve seen a few re-skins
of this set in Blacktron I, Futuron, and Space Police II liveries, but I haven’t
yet seen a classic space version. To that end, I made my own to show him what
things looked like back in Dad’s day. Now we have matching ships to go exploring.

Enjoyable post. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

These themes are very cool!

Awesome!

My younger son is fond of the M-tron theme (his first name starts with M) so
we built an M-tron version of one of the 10497 alt builds

Looks great! Re-skins are fun little side projects. One of my favorites was
from this guy. He not only revived the various space themes, but also had fun
with some town themes.

Ironic, as I just got that same set earlier this month. I have mine set up on
a display stand.
