Enter 1994’s Saucer Scout to round out my Spyrius collection
This set felt ubiquitous as a kid. I had it, and I’m pretty sure most of my friends did too back then. It’s about as simple yet effective as LEGO can get with a spacecraft!
So for the line that gave my generation the first leg prints, with Major Kartofski, LEGO doesn’t give too much diversity among the Spyrius crew (outside of the Big One).
Enter the Spyrius-verse, anyone?
As a huge fan of Spyrius, I’m very happy to have this little set back in the collection.
More LEGO retro spaceships and rovers to be featured soon!

Further experiments in microscale. I'm going to make a few variants and choose the best candidate for fig scale.
My second entry for JerryBuildsBricks‘s #jbbclassicremake challenge!
This time I’m back to space with the revamp of the classic 6950 - Mobile Rocket Transport set. I kept all the functions, the rear section is steered by a knob at the end, the cabin can hold 3 figs, there are 2 ladders on the sides which can be lowered and of course you can launch the big rocket at any time 😉 And You can still go offroad with it
Neo Classic Space ship
Small short-range utility spacecraft for 1 pilot. Equipped with dual engine, wide range sensors and communication arrays and light laser cannons. Main purpose - search for lost droids and machinery maintenance.
Includes two detachable vehicles under side cockpits, robot, and toolbox. Ship can be easily modified to fit 3 guys or equipped with sleeping pods, etc...
I needed something small and swooshable. I chose simple and famous theme, simple and famous shape. And then I needed to make it a little extra. Here comes slightly different color scheme and functions.
My entry for the annual Febrovery!
Here's the rear view with open doors. The doors are fully functional.
LEGO Minifigure: A Visual History was published by DK.
The book came with an exclusive Orange Classic Space minifigure.

Here is a baby replica of the latest iteration of the LEGO Galaxy Explorer set 10497. It still has the main play features of the original set just down sized. Pop off canopy, steering wheels, opening rear end with boarding ramp, airlock sliding door and last but not least ride on booster engines!
This was a blast to build. And was inspired by the builds @troublesbricking made while I was travelling Europe. While on holiday I managed to track down this squad of space babies so that when I got as soon as I got back from holiday I could get into building this moc.
Our astronomer has found something unexpected when she peered through her telescope - a little green... SPACEMAN!
I wanted to do a quick photo that combined 2 of the latest LEGO Idea sets. The 21110 Research Institute and of course, the 21109 Exo Suit with its much-anticipated green Classic Space minifig.
So, funny story. I built the Galaxy Explorer 2.0 and took it to BricksCascade. Doctor Mobius has also built massive neoclassic space ships but he displayed his one a nice stand with the original and a micro version. So he throwns down the challenge Thursday night that if I can build a display stand and rebuild the original by the public Expo Saturday morning, he'll give me his micro Galaxy Explorer. Well, I can't say "no", so after two nights building until 1:00 AM after finding my old instructions to the original, I pulled it off. So credit to Doctor Mobius for the micro Galaxy Explorer featured here.
New photos of an old MOC.
Inspired but the 8 main parts that make up the hull.
This was never one of my favorites, as I didn't manage to work any functionality into the build. I do like the way it looks though.
Space Day was created by Lockheed Martin Corporation in 1997. The goal was to motivate the youth of America to study math and science. This day was originally established as a one day event. An exciting topic of interest to millions, Space Day became an annual event.

This is Lego set 6871 Star Patrol Launchert from 1984.
Going back home .. not knowing really if the mission was a success
Curious what the mission was? Watch youtu.be/2avEoO2Tn7U
Not my usual type of train, but I've been wanting to build some Classic Space style MOCs for a while, and I've also had this monorail idea in my head for the last couple months. It's powered by 2 Power Functions M motors, and runs on the old train track via the rubber tires at the top.It's been through about 12 hours of tests so far, and gets around 2 hours 40 minutes on one lithium battery charge.
I have run tests on it in inclines, and it handles them well. I have also designed a switch for it that seems to work well enough. I will post those when they are completely built. And yes, there's video of it running in my photostream.
Waking up with a strange vibe! Looking through the telescope and you just can't believe your eyes!
Curious what he saw? Watch youtu.be/2avEoO2Tn7U

This is Lego set 6823 Surface Transport from 1983.
NCS fast transport.
Further details and backstory can be found at my blog: ghsquarefeet.wordpress.com/2018/05/25/space-sphinx/
Its only feature aside from turning wheels are opening doors which actually lead to the interior. I guess it should have an airlock but that'd be a waste of valuable space. Bring your own air, it aint free here!
Setting myself some building rules and limitations got me out of a bout of builder's block a while back, and saw the emergence of Hover Car Racers.
Not built anything for ages so set myself the challenge of putting another HCR vehicle together.
Here are the "rules" I set myself when building one of these:
- bold colour scheme
- a whiff of 'muscle car'
- some asymmetry
- enclosed cockpit
This one obviously grabs a chunk of inspo from Classic Space, but also benefited from a few references to the DeLorean from Back To The Future.
First proper MOC I've built for ages. Hope you enjoy it.
Here is my latest Classic Space MOC: A 6x6 Transporter.
I reused the steering from the 6895 Spy Trak 1 but added another axle.
The Planetary Mining Rover is a mass produced rover used extensively throughout the galaxy. The equipped dual drilling arms are capable of breaking through some of the toughest materials known to man. A cargo compartment in the rear of the rover enables the P.M.R. to transport materials back to base.

Nous allons dire, que c'est un mélange qui réuni les sets :
- 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport
en même temps, et en plus gros ! Tous ces sets se ressemblent plus ou moins, ou bien, ne sont que des déclinaisons différentes au gré des versions. D’où l'idée de tous réunir, dans du 4 en 1, version mastodonte.
J'ai snoté à 90° les consoles de commande dans le mur, afin de pouvoir loger un maximum de panneaux de commande et d'y gagner 2 tenons supplémentaires en horizontal. Ceci me permettant de mettre 4 membres d'équipage, leurs sièges et une petite coursive (de justesse) pour qu'ils se déplacent entre les sièges. Le toit avec les 2 radars se déclipse et la verrière-avant pivote, permettant l'accessibilité.
Mon seul regret dans l'histoire : ne pas pouvoir mettre les 2 côtés en bleu (le derrière des 2 panneaux de consoles), car la pièce N°11203 (flat Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Inverted) n'existe pas dans cette couleur. J'ai du me contenter du gris et composer avec.
Je me suis étonné, moi-même, à l'avoir construit en seulement 3 jours ! Après réflexion, je pense avoir compris pourquoi je l'ai fait en si peu de temps. Je met cela sur le compte de plusieurs choses :
-1/ J'avais déjà la base de mon NCS - City Mars Exploration - Heavy Mobile Lab, qui m'avait pris un bon 10 jours. En plus de l'expérience de construction/agencement interne du véhicule.
-2/ J'avais déjà le radar et la fusée, de mon [NCS] 462-897- Mobile Rocket Launcher, Remastered, qui m'avait pris 3-4 jours
-3/ J'avais déjà les sièges de mon NCS - Heavy Transport
-4/ J'avais déjà les consoles murales, de mon NCS - Heavy Transport. (du moins, retenu ma technique de construction inverse) qui m'avait pris un sacré paquet de temps, car je devais mettre un max de consoles informatique dans un espace minimaliste, et surtout, à 90° et inversé par rapport au mur ! (donc sacré difficulté technique à s'arracher les cheveux). Rien que pour cela, j'ai du y passer plusieurs jours.
-5/ Mes expériences passées, qui sont presque une marque de fabrique chez moi : l’extérieur de mes vaisseaux et véhicules (NCS - Heavy Transporter, NCS - City Mars Exploration - Martian Colonization Base, Intergalactic Girl, NCS LL-6929 Starfleet Voyager, Space Heavy Rover, Lunar Space Pod , NCS - City Mars Exploration - Heavy Mobile Lab, etc) sont généralement dépouillés, mais en revanche, l'intérieur est généralement assez blindé dans tous les sens. Mettre un max de greeblings, en espace confiné et minimaliste, c'est presque devenu mon [i]"dada".[/i]
Donc normalement, vu la taille du véhicule du mastodonte, cela aurait du me prendre minimum 7-14 jours bien tassé. Mais comme je fais toutes mes constructions "en modulaire", je peux repiquer facilement des parties (ou des modules) pour les mettre dans d'autres constructions. En plus des expériences de constructions passées. C'est pour cela que je n'ai mis que 2-3 jours et que j'ai gagné énormément de temps.

It's a mix that brings together the sets :
- 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport
at the same time, and bigger !
All these sets look more or less alike, or are just different variations depending on the version. Hence the idea of bringing them all together, in a 4 in 1, mastodon version.
I used the 90 ° snot technique with the control consoles in the wall, in order to be able to accommodate as many control panels as possible and gain 2 additional horizontal studs. This allows me to put 4 crew members, their seats and a small passageway (narrowly) for them to move between the seats. The roof with the 2 radars unclips and the front canopy swivels, allowing accessibility. My only regret: not being able to put the 2 sides in blue (the back of the 2 console panels), because part N°11203 (flat Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Inverted) does not exist in this color. I had to settle for gray.
I was amazed, myself, to have built it in just 3 days! Upon reflection, I think I understood why I did it in such a short time. I put this down to several things:
-1/ I already had the basis of my NCS - City Mars Exploration - Heavy Mobile Lab, which had taken me a good 10 days. In addition to the experience of construction / internal arrangement of the vehicle.
-2/ I already had the radar and the rocket, of my [NCS] 462-897- Mobile Rocket Launcher, Remastered, which took me 3-4 days.
-3/ I already had the seats of my NCS - Heavy Transport
-4/ I already had the wall consoles, from my NCS - Heavy Transport. (at least, retained my reverse construction technique) which had taken a hell of a lot of time, because I had to put a maximum of computer consoles in a minimalist space, and above all, at 90 ° and inverted in relation to the wall! (so damn technical difficulty in tearing your hair). Just for that, I had to spend several days there.
-5/ My past experiences, which are almost a hallmark of me: the exterior ofmy ships and vehicles (NCS - Heavy Transporter, NCS - City Mars Exploration - Martian Colonization Base, Intergalactic Girl, NCS LL-6929 Starfleet Voyager, Space Heavy Rover, Lunar Space Pod , NCS - City Mars Exploration - Heavy Mobile Lab, etc) are generally stripped down, but on the other hand, the interior is generally quite shielded in every way. Putting a lot of greeblings, in a confined and minimalist space, it almost became my "hobby".
So normally, given the size of the mastodon's vehicle, it should have taken me at least 7-14 days well packed. But since I do all my constructions " in modular ", I can easily transplant parts (or modules) to put them in other constructions. In addition to past construction experiences. This is why I only took 2-3 days and saved a lot of time.
The bus has no driver, but has a robot instead. The robot sits in the middle, so *both* front seats are free for taking. Yee!
I'm calling this the SPARTVS (“Spartus”; “Synergistic Piloted Assault Robot Tactical Victory Suit”). Twin-piloted mechs aren't all that common, but I'm really not too sure why not.
I'm thinking it's some sort of close-quarters battle mech or possibly law enforcement-type.
Today's recolored set is 6849 (from 1987), in M-Tron colors.
Might be my last upload for a while, i've barely take care of myself and my flat since almost two months, so I've got to go back to "serious" things ^^
The Taxon-Lazar Spaceworks LL-2022 heavy reconnaissance/strike starfighter first entered regular service over the planet Bianka IV in the Systar system in early 2019. This picture shows the never-produced LL-2022B concept, which aimed to improve the ship's swooshydynamics by cutting down the rear fuselage and increasing the rake angle of the bottom windscreen.
Regrettably, Madsen engineers had to introduce several structural compromises to achieve the swooshydynamics goals. The large canted fin pods were only attached by four studs each on the "B" model, and the "A" model's large and well-equipped cockpit was replaced by a cramped space that was heavily reliant on holographic "hard light" controls and even seats. The crew member in the front seat was supported by straps over his boots and force fields beneath his derriere. While the crew member in the back seat had a solid panel beneath his derriere, its attachment to the rear bulkhead of the cockpit was so flimsy that it, too, required supporting force fields during takeoff, landing, and combat maneuvers. The large, sturdy rear landing gear were replaced by small solid tires, and the forward landing gear was moved so far aft that stability and handling during takeoff, landing, and taxi were severely compromised.
Because of these compromises, it is unlikely that the LL-2022B will ever be produced.
The original is a stunning build by Taxon Lazar. I have no idea how it's put together, but it looks fantastic. I'm not sure my version would hold together very well if built in real life.

Nothing spectacular today, just a bunch of little Classic Space sets, recolored in Futuron livery.
Hope you'll like them anyway ;-)
The Star Wars franchise finally died out after its 2,357th iteration flopped at the box office. Bereft of ideas, the production team's last project was a re-working of Samuel Beckett's classic "Waiting for Godot".
The film starred Jar Jar Binks as Vladimir, Master Yoda as Estragon and the late Sir Alec Guinness as the eponymous Godot. Lucky was played by a CGI reworking of Princess Leia, Pozzo by Jabba the Hutt and The Boy by Chewbacca. The ensuing syntactical assault on audiences' ears caused mass hysteria and rioting in cinemas across the galaxy. This subsequently bankrupted the producers with billions of compensation claims.
As a result of this kerfuffle, heaps of redundant lightsabers were cheaply available. Llwyngwril Systems' vehicle design department, ever on the lookout for making a quick buck and something silly, bought up the stockpiles and the Light Sabre Roller was the misbegotten result. The Light Sabre Roller had unfortunate career. It was a rather heavy vehicle, frequently deployed into swamps and marshes due to its misleading name.
With a large fleet of spaceships and many ground units like the APC mobile, the S.H.A.D.O.* agency needs a modern and well equipped bay.
My latest build is the S.H.A.D.O. maintenance bay where the agency's mechanics and engineers can fix and re-fit the Interceptors and possibly the ground units.
The facility is full of details and it features also a service vehicle, a forklift and an hand pallet truck.
Under the wing an operator is welding a support and please take a look at the sparks ;)
A little workbench and the column drill press are positioned on the right.
A spare nuclear missile is ready to be loaded.
Thanks for stopping by.
