A more heavily armed variant of the Hr-18, the Hr-22c is intended mainly for attacking capital ships and ground targets. The most noticeable difference is the forward-swept wings, for better handling at low speeds. The Hr-22 also has more sophisticated sensors and is painted black for extra cover in space and at night.
I think I like this better with forward-swept wings. Both fighters exist simultaneously, by the way.
Hi everyone! Lego Ideas is hosting a contest to build something inspired by one of the many space themes. Obviously, I had to choose Classic Space! I’ll post more pictures soon, but this the ultimate CS vehicle, sporting several play features, and being to store a scooter, rover, spacecraft, research lab, and more. Hope you like it!
For those curious, it's about 2.25 feet long, and weighs a ton! I'd estimate it clocking in at around 3,000 bricks.
The simple sample sucker simply sucked samples into its elephantine belly. Occasionally, other things would end up in there too!
This rover was totally inspired by Huw Gwilliam's roller-skating robo-elephant, which in turn came from his original Lego design.
The discovery was quite by accident; it was not there when he had hiked this area in the morning. It was strange how it seemed almost familiar but stood as if it grew out of the ground faster than a weed…
The Three Rings was a triple tensegrity tourist trap on Tywyn II. It was famous throughout Classic Space and attracted large numbers of sightseers and scientists.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
What? Lego tensegrity models have already stopped being fashionable? Oh no!
As always, I tend to build what's fun for me. The idea that this whole structure is made from loose links of track & chain amused me. One of these days I'll use my Technic tracks on an actual vehicle...
On the distant world of Panduro, a team of Federation botanists cultivate new types of plant life. Epsilon base is a highly advanced laboratory, which provides valuable information about the development of different species of alien flora. Their research is a critical part of the terraforming process.
Another little break from Benny's adventures. Since I saw Gerald Cacas Chibi Beetle for the first time I had the idea of classicspace-fying it.
Ta-dah!! Here it is! In a photo of uncle Jerry (Benny's uncle obviously) back in the 70's on a beach of planet Californix VII, surfers' paradise.
And guess who inherited that beaut?
All the credits to Gerald Cacas. I just tried to find out the techniques he used, added two stabilizers and two big engines (partially covered by uncle Jerry). But don't worry... other photos are on their way! ;-)
Celebrating the article about "Benny's adventures in space" on the latest issue of Bricks magazine... Yay!!
Hi everyone! Sorry I'm a little late for Shiptember, but here is my take on the 1985 set of the same name, the Xenon X-Craft. This was my first model using the new canopy piece, and I have to say, it's a great addition to anyone's Neo Classic Space part inventory!
This updated take of 6872 features retractable landing gear, and gear-operated folding wings.
Hope you like it!
This flying machine was frequently found on planets with high-density atmospheres, such as Venus. Its stubby wings and multi-bladed propellers could easily generate lift and thrust in the dense CO2.
A 10x10 all terrain vehicle, suitable for transporting all manner of material but especially large cake tins (for large cakes). The perfect accompaniment for yesterday's tea caddy.
I’ve been using my unemployed time between filling out applications to learn set building; I set up a studio in my garage and built this surface for a specific stop motion project that I’ve been mulling over for quite some time. I decided to use it for a quick Lego shot.
I’m having a blast learning what works and what doesn’t and have learned some excellent tricks by trial and error. I still say the best way to learn anything is to start. I utilized some aluminum screen, cardboard tubes, floor coating samples, drywall putty, spray paint, coconut shell carbon, wire, ducktape, and some old bird feed I found in the pantry… basically anything I can think of and reuse in some way. I think it’s coming together nicely.

It's that time again.
The time when I redo the 6927 All Terrain Vehicle.
I've tried to keep closer to 'system' on this one. Less greebles, less feeble!
Do you like it?
Meh?
Let me know in The Comments.
Many poorly performing products aren't the fault of engineers or designers but of conflicting requirements. The original design of the Aero Buggy was for a slick, aerodynamic vehicle which would cut through the vacuum of space in a fuel efficient manner. Then the requirement for it to climb the steep walls of lunar craters was added and so the "monster truck" style running gear was added.
Despite this, the Aero Buggy proved popular amongst spacemen. This was due to its smooth ride over rough terrain and its windscreen, which kept the moon dust off the driver.
I know, I know! I've already thought of a modification to the rear glass: a blue cheese slope in the middle (instead of the transparent yellow one) and transparent yellow plates on the sides, instead blue ones. I think it'll look better.
Happy Febrovery, everyone! This is my take on the wonderfully busy 1984 set, 6928 Uranium Search Vehicle.
I focused on the play features here, as opposed to realism, and so it boasts: four poseable front radar dishes, a modular cockpit, a modular mini-lab in the back, articulated center gear for all terrains, and poseable satellite dishes, too. Hope you enjoy!
Just your regular, run-of-the-mill NCS battle mecha. I don't often use brick shooters in my designs since my son stopped being obsessed with the things, but I still enjoy the looks of the old rotary stud shooters, especially in mechs.
Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
Well, our exploration of the sights and wonders (and rovers) of Planet Frost has reached the halfway point. I hope you have enjoyed our journey so far. We are going to make a brief stop here to refuel for the remainder of our tour. Feel free to disembark the bus, stretch your legs, gaze at the stars, and get some fresh air (if that is, your species is compatible with our atmosphere.). Be sure to be back on the rover in 15 earth minutes or risk Hugh Mann departing without you.

The Llwyngwril Systems' Tumbler was an almost perfect solution to back-flips, front-flips and staircases (take note Daleks!). Sadly it was still not proof against angry aliens from Pluto trying to push you over sideways.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've checked and there's enough clearance for the central part to spin all around. It'll be interesting to build a real one and see how it rolls down a staircase!
