It's been done before but I just finished my Classic Space themed XL-15cs. Now I have a little fleet going!
BlockTalk Summary
Reddit user /u/raven319s has shared a creative new custom build by completing a Classic Space-themed version of the iconic XL-15 spaceship. This impressive creation joins the builder's existing collection, establishing a growing fleet of custom-styled vessels.
The custom model addresses a common concern among LEGO enthusiasts by using a color scheme that minimizes the visual impact of future yellowing, which often plagues older white and light-colored bricks. The builder utilized Classic Space colors primarily because those were the parts readily available in their collection, though they noted that dark grey or black would have been their initial preference. Despite this constraint, the final result is a striking and cohesive addition to their fleet.
Custom creations like this XL-15 showcase the endless possibilities of LEGO building and reimagining modern sets in retro color palettes. For builders inspired to take on their own custom fleet projects or sort through pieces to find alternative color schemes, it helps to stay organized with a LEGO storage organizer while you build.
My main reason for this was I wanted an XL-15 that I wouldn't have to worry as much for future yellowing. The Classic Space color scheme only came to be because that's the parts I happened to have laying around otherwise I would have preferred dark grey or black. But all in all, I like how it turned out. submitted by /u/raven319s [link] [comments]
