LL 928 Galaxy Explorer
This was the first model I ever attempted in Studio. The goal here is to do a very clean, sleek update to the Galaxy Explorer that's as close as possible to the original set, unlike many other Galaxy Explorer remakes that take the basic outline as a platform for complex SNOT techniques or greebling. However, I did make a few changes. I wanted the crew to be able to access the cargo in flight, so instead of a solid wall in the middle the crew cabin and the cargo bay are only separated by flags. The crew cabin is fully furnished with controls and two space seats, instead of being blank and empty. Due to limitations of the modern parts palette, the roof is blue instead of trans yellow. There is three point retractable landing gear. The doors in the aft fuselage are now large enough for minifigures to use them to access the cargo bay. The cargo bay is no longer tall enough to fit a rover with somebody sitting at the wheel, but it is otherwise much larger and more useful. It has 2 separate 6x6 cargo areas, letting it carry 2 small rovers, or a rover and a trailer (facing forward or facing backward), or 4 large crates and 6 small crates. Finally, I moved the fuselage-mounted engines lower so that the ship can now balance on them if you stand it on its end. That makes it what I call a well-balanced spaceship, like the 924 and the 918.
