In Mexico we know the VW Sedan with the AKA of "Vocho"
Sort of a “proof of concept” build... a WIP that may not progress much further.
It’s also too tall for a decent photo in my usual methods, so here’s one shot to document the idea for now. I am rather fond of it so maybe I’ll feel motivated to get some better pictures another day... I’ll at least get some close-ups of the Little swoosher for sure.
Bruno: Hey Dave! I've just revolutionized the holidays!
Dave: By getting all tangled up in the Christmas lights?
Bruno: Nope. More rebranding than entangling.
Dave: Rebranding?
Bruno: Yup, I'm rebranding myself as a mobile Christmas tree.
Dave: I didn't see that one coming.
Bruno: It really should have been easy to see, I'm literally making my point while covered with lights.
Dave: So, you're going to go into people's houses wearing Christmas lights. That's your bright idea?
Bruno: Yup. People love me, and they love Christmas too. The combination will be irresistible.
Dave: And what's in it for you?
Bruno: Attention, love and snacks. I'll make sure they plug me in close to the snacks then all the cookies and eggnog will be mine!

An out take from last week's photo with the tree. I do love this guy.
Update of set 894/452.
So many of the really early Classic Space sets were so much more grounded in near-future science than their later counterparts, and the Mobile Tracking Station certainly fits this vibe. At the time I remember thinking the set was a bit boring and ugly, being basically a grey box on wheels; these days its more realistic near-future vibe and clear, recogniseable purpose are part of the charm.
Seeing as I seem to be on an "updated rebuilds of old Classic Space sets" kick at the moment, I couldn't resist.
A Mobile Refining Vessel, built by Civilian Engineering Corporation. It carries a myriad of refining equipment, the main of which is a collider-reactor (the green structure protruding at the rear of the ship) designed to collide isogen and puzzleium, resulting in awesomium condensates.
-----------------------------------------
This was a rush build of a few hours, but lots of fun, especially considering I hadn't built anything significant in a while. It includes quite a few tablescraps, most noticeable being the collider-reactor itself.
Inspired by this fantastic technical illustration.
The Rhino is an incredibly adaptable battlefield vehicle and can be easily converted to serve in dedicated capacities as a troop transport, mobile field hospital, mobile repair works, mobile command center, or, in small enough units, as all four functions at once. The Rhino’s personnel area comfortably accommodates a medic, mechanic, and eight foot soldiers, although more may be crammed in as necessary. The forward compartment offers the commander seclusion in which the battlefield action may plotted on the chart table and orders sent via radio.
The Rhino’s size and weight are deceptive of the remarkable speed gained from its enormous engine and its pilot must be skilled to rein its great momentum as it charges around attending to the needs of battle. As the vehicle and its occupants are too valuable to be risked in assault, the armor and turret autocannons are for pure defensive reasons.
