white and yellow space rover – febrovery mmxxı

main shot

 

Technical specifications:

- Four wheel classic technic steering,

operated by twisting the belly.

- Hips and shoulders rotate independently about the centerline.

Therefore this rover is fit for both plain and rocky terrain.

 

Other play features:

- Cockpit for one minifig.

- Storage for minifig equipment on both sides.

- Mini laboratory and storage for ore/crystal/whatever samples at the rear end.

 

Fun facts:

- I finally found a way to integrate these old school light bricks, and I’m quite content with the outcome.

- I’m particularly happy about the cockpit.

- I didn’t intend to make this look like an animal, and I think it doesn’t. Nevertheless I feel some artiodactyl vibes here, and interestingly, during building process, I mentally referred to "head, shoulders, belly, hips" instead of "cockpit, front axle, etc."

- This started as a "fast build", then took me almost a week :D

 

Feedback is welcome.
