Leap Year Rover!
I've been wanting to do a rover forever with 8 of the gargantuan tractor tires released way back in 2016, and I started out with those and the windscreen configuration shown. From there, this thing just got MASSIVE and it accidentally turned into a SHIP, clocking in at 117 studs. I dont know if I can call it a SHIP since it doesnt fly, but maybe it'll coin a new term, How about R.O.V.E.R. : Ridiculously Oversized Vehicular Element Repository... Best I can do off the top of my head.
Anyway, tons of play features and functions like a working cargo crane, 5 airlock doors, retractable solar array and research drone, fully finished interior, and I figured I'd add lights as well since i was already going all out.
Oh yeah, it's motorized with 2 XL and 2 L motors for drive and a Steering motor as well.
More pics to come, hopefully this weekend!
