I'm a big fan of SpaceX and the whole space industry. Hopefully in the future we will be able to have bases on the Moon or Mars. Technology progress is faster and faster so I hope that there will be times where we can use vehicles like that one.
You can see here some kind of 'space truck' with a trailer. Truck is some kind of multitasking car - there is a special link at the back of it. You can plug in lots of different stuff there. In that case we have a trailer with a rocket and some space for two operators to manage the whole launch process.
There are a few supports to stabilize the whole platform, when the rocket is ready. You can simply turn it up and down to adapt it to the terrain.
Few words about rockets. It is attached to yellow scaffolding by one Lego Technic pin and one stud on the bottom.
The last one is regarding the whole MOC. I mean the connector between vehicle and trailer. You can move it in all directions - left, right, up and down so rough terrain is not a problem.
Remember about my Lego Idea :)

LEGO #6956 M:Tron Stellar Recon Voyager or
Rescue Star Cruiser, from 1990
New video up on YT: youtu.be/oUNsrVnlAKs
Not sure who designed this, but a good chance Jørn Thomsen was involved
Great M:Tron prints. Strange fence lattice elements. Cool ribbed convex corner panel
And loads of space bits and trans neon green

So after I built that Star Trek bridge module, I got to thinking about how well the Classic Space and Star Trek universes would mesh.
Both are set in space, obviously. Both feature brightly-coloured uniforms. Both depict a future of cooperation and exploration rather than conflict and warfare. Even some of the set names (6929 Starfleet Voyager) sound like Trek.
One of the big visual differences, of course, is that Starfleet crewmembers wear uniform jerseys and beam down to Earthlike planets with breathable atmospheres, whereas Classic Space astronauts wear spacesuits all the time.
I confess that even as a kid this used to bother me, and I'd want to make airlocks and suiting-up rooms on all my bases.
But if the Classic Space astronauts are exploring Earthlike planets, there's surely no reason they have to wear spacesuits. So what would that look like>
Rather like my CS-torso Trek bridge, I suspect.
This, then is my evolution of Classic Space in the direction of Star Trek. I hope you like it.

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

Set 6870, released in 1981 and consisting of 60 pieces, depicts a one-seat space probe as well as a carrier vehicle for it. A red astronaut minifigure drives the carrier vehicle to a desired location, then hops into the space probe and launches.
This set, part of Lego's highly desirable Space collection, was obtained via an eBay auction in June 2012. It is in generally good shape, even though the minifigure's face needed a bit of scrubbing.
The carrier vehicle is complete, and the probe is mounted, to complete the set. This set may work better with a second astronaut driving the carrier vehicle, however.
A track service walker for the Galactic Speeder League based on AT-RT. The vehicle is made specially for the Grand Marshal whose duty is to give start and finish in the race. The walker is equipped with racetrack lights and chequered flags.
It was the year 1979 when LEGO launched one of the sets that became among the most iconic in the AFOL world: the 928 set.
The Classic Space theme was launched just a year earlier in 1978 and this set became a legend because it represented the most beautiful and largest spaceship in the entire fleet. It is incredible to think of the success that this set of only 338 pieces has had if we compare it to those on sale today, but in those days we were children who dreamed of having this box and our best memories are linked to it.
In '79 I was just 5 years old and I have never been able to have this box, too expensive for my parents, but I have always dreamed of it looking at it in the catalogs. Finally as an adult I looked for it and managed to buy it!
All this premise was used to introduce my new work: the Galaxy Explorer SDR-926! This year I am 10 years old as AFOL and I thought about making mocs that have a special meaning for me. The first of these was the desire to make a spaceship of some importance! SDR-926 wants to be a tribute to the 928 but with very different characteristics and numbers. Number 926 represents the birth of my daughter. The spaceship measures 85 x 75 x 21 cm and is made up of almost 4600 pieces! It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.
Thank you for watching!

This is my last Basilisk, for now. I have some other ideas I think would look good, and one I hit the wall on parts availability with (olive and dark red), but other projects beckon. So, I give you the Blacktron version, rejected from the Lego Ideas space competition for the 90th anniversary, as not being new.

1978 was a key year in Lego history: three themed series - Castle, Town, and Space - were launched, along with minifigures to populate the themed worlds. The Space series, with its iconic astronaut minifigures and simple yet elegant sets, remains very desirable even today, long after being discontinued in 1987.
Set 462 was one of the initial sets of the Space series in 1978, and depicts a communication truck, a trailer, and a rocket with payload. Consisting of 76 pieces, Set 462 was known as Set 897 in Europe. I obtained this set in an eBay auction in June 2012; it definitely is showing signs of wear, especially on the red astronaut, but is still very presentable.
The completed set. The rocket is mounted, though sadly due to the way the set is designed, the rocket is split in half by the launch mechanism elbow; the payload satellite is mounted on top of the rocket.
Double feature of 1997’s small droid ships, the V-Wing and Cyber Blaster enter the LEGO City!
These tiny old sets were heavy on cool intricate prints. All about the minifigs here, but the V-Wing has some really fun classic space elements and shaping!
‘97 picks up with leg printing, which hadn’t been seen in a space theme since ‘94s Spyrius droid, Major Kartofski. And we’ll see leg prints on their human counterparts next time I look at RoboForce.
Happy to have both the Techdroids from this theme back in my collection, which Techdroid do you like better- red or blue?

The escort fighters in Rebel Moon. Had a lot of fun throwing this together over a couple of days. Took a little bit of liberty, since there isn't an accurate windscreen available and all the still frames I took are super dark. I didn't see any concept art or anything online either. Might help if I actually knew what these little ships were called lol.

I need to be ok with the fact that i may not finish on time. Epic photos none the less. Needs more greebly bits, and a presentation.
Space Panic
Size : 2,5m x 1,80

UFO Tower
Display made for the french convention "Brick à Dole" 2017. The V2 with a new part "Starship Troopers" was presented to the french convention "Let\'s Go" 2018 in Schiltigheim.
This MOC is a collaborative diorama created with my friend Sweetsha & N3rik.
On this diorama we find the new theme Space Lego but also the Classic Space Lego.
It is intentionally ultra colored, it gives a side very fun :)
There are also many references to the great films of SF, pop culture and it\'s full of humor.
Obviously nothing will happen as planned, Space is going to shit. ^^
House Tanatuos Envoy Ship “Silent Hand of Heaven”
The diplomats of House Tanatuos traverse displacement space in vessels that bear no visible armaments or defences, protected only by their reputation, their House colours, and the Emperor’s writ of passage.
Well, that and the House’s fleet of Thundermaw-class escort vessels, whose constant presence ensures that their envoys reach their destinations without incident.
Length: 106 studs
Part count: No idea
And so, my first SHIPtember build is complete! I am very happy with how it has come out on the whole; and glad for the quick progress I made in the first half of the month, given the limited time and energy I have had for it over the last two weeks due to sickness and other things. It has been great fun to properly engage with SHIPtember this year, and I imagine I will be back at it again next year!
Thank you to everyone who commented and gave feedback and suggestions along the way, I really appreciate it!
