CX-1 Basilisk

What is your favourite 90s space vehicle and why is is Solar Snooper? :)

I have been on a mission of building giant space vehicles for so many years and I still enjoy it. I think I have rebuild Solar Snooper 4 times already. You can find many similarities with my older builds, but this is the first time I have done one in Spyrius colors. And there is no better time to present it than Febrovery! :)

 

This planetary exploration rig has steering on two front axles (with different radius) and suspension on rear three axles.

Front can open and let out two speeders for scouting. 2nd and 3rd level of windshields is for drivers and navigators. The top floor has a big room with large windows, crane control, communication console and sofa for breaks. In rear section is large landing pad.

Bottom floor has two main entrances on sides between the wheels and equipment room with sliding door. Under the landing pad is a small science laboratory and compartment for smaller vehicle.

 

I really enjoyed this build and I tried to pack in many play features. I wanted to utilize all the front canopies with different purposes then just seating for 8 figs, hence the opening front part. Furthermore I am really happy with integration of the landing pad.
