A busy A1 scene from August 1989 on Irvine High Street sees A308 RSU the former demonstrator Volvo Citybus owned by Docherty setting off for Kilmarnock passing JC Stewart Atlantean NCS 14P setting its passengers down behind an AA National.

Yep, running out of decent names for my space mocs lately. A small cargo truck, can carry one passenger and one rover.
I transformed the lunar space station into a Martian land base for colonization.
The blocks / modules are perfect.
I also made a small NPU with train part number 55768. It makes excellent glass roof/skylight :)
Built for the NPU contest. I finally found the needed arches, but I could only find them in blue. So what else to do but build frogscale NCS?
More rockhoppers but with a some insectoid suggestions. I love how some Classic Space sets have abstracted faces in their design, or at least somewhat expressive in their use of radar dishes and antennae.
I dunno why but I love building iterations of these flying bedsteads in classic space colours. The typical shape of CS fliers is of course the wedge (nice dynamic shape and thank you Star Wars) but I guess I like the stripped back, engine-on-a-chassis thing so much. Maybe it's that it's slightly more grounded in real engineering? Something like that I guess.
That and being able to make RCT noises when swooshing *gssst...gsst* *bfffp* etc
For all of your rocket and meteor tracking needs! Deploy the twin boom antennae for higher accuracy telemetry (or something).
My entry to the Lego Ideas 90th Anniversary space contest: ideas.lego.com/challenges/8f551f3c-0554-4b9b-a1a6-8dc61e9...

I just tried myself on some neo classic space. Nothing too big or fancy, and yes, this is supposed to look like a washing machine.
I do like the Y-Wing, even if it is a bit of a deathtrap according to most of the Star Wars films. I think we had to wait until Rogue One to see one actually shoot something or do some damage, or do anything except explode, in fact.
So I built a Neoclassic Space version.
The LL433 Ypsilon is the result. It was displayed previously in the just-uploaded Abugida Spaceport, but I thought it warranted its own posting.
So I actually built this for some little contest on brickset's forums. There was some stipulation about parts, something small like 300ish. I thought I could build something cool in that part count.
Turns out I couldn't. If you're going to go all greebly, the parts run out very quickly, so I stopped trying to keep it in some pointless and arbitrary limit. Last time I built NCS Pete told me it needed more greebs, so hopefully this is enough.
This also has 6x6 turning and suspension, I do love the mixels ball joints.
(As for why this took so long to post... I have no idea. Well, enjoy it now it's here.)
Based on Set 886.
While this is an older build, let's say I'm reposting because it's *building* up to something bigger.

This walking tank can make powerful leaps by using its two jump engines. Jump control is best delegated to the onboard A.I. as the pilot has only limited sight of the ground.
Q: What do you get if you strip the engines from a galaxy-class super cruiser and strap them to the sides of a single pilot fighter?
A: This.
Primarily used for planetside racing tournaments, and more engine than ship, what Shorty lacks in size she more than makes up for in raw power.
