Classic Space Revisited - Space Buggy
Space Buggy - 886 rebrickable.com/sets/886-1/space-buggy-classic-space-1979
Okay, here's the latest in my recent line of updated classic space sets. I got busy last night and knocked around until I had created this before going to bed. This is my homage to the classic space set 886, other wise known as the Space Buggy. My design is based heavily off of the original set. From the light grey color scheme, to the air tank mounted on the front, to the antenna array on the back. I was even able to incorporate in my own design for tires. (Yes, those are brick-built.)
The space buggy is driven across the bleak grey lunar surface by two astronauts who are sporting what I'll call "pre-classic space" suits. Basically, it was an excuse to use some of those really neat clear domes that I sent for in my last shop-at-home order. I'm pretty sure those suits have been done before, but I'm not certain who came up with them to give them credit.
Enjoy!
