The ISS in all it’s glory! Ok, I’ll come clean: I didn’t build the International Space Station (ISS) out of LEGO to get my barber to come to BrickCon. Sorry all, clickbait totally debunked. But the fact is, he did come to the con to see the build, and I think it’s fantastic that my MOC engaged people outside my typical LEGO circle! Jeff is one example of many awesome friends and family who came by to support me.

Based on a sprite from the Gradius game series and popularized by the late Nate “nnenn” Nielson, the Vic Viper style is distinct with a specific alignment of wings and fins. Here are a few examples built by BrickNerd superfan Scott Wilhelm, currently on sale to raise funds for Creations for Charity.
