Jumping into the Helix Nebula is a job for incorrigible adventurers. Before launch, it is necessary to check the operation of all ship systems. Even the smallest deviations can lead to unpredictable consequences. Any weak link must be replaced immediately.
It was really fun to play with the light and make those transparent 1x2 tiles glow. It's amazing how interesting to work with shallow depth of field and longer shutter speeds. Absolutely impossible without a remote control.
An articulated radar rover, handy for steering around tight crater corners. This rover was used on the planet Fflint, which was covered in spikey stones. These often caused punctures and so a spare tyre was always carried.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
People who have been speculating wildly about some form correlation between the date and number of tyres on the vehicle will note that there are only 6 tyres on this vehicle.
Sven and the gang are at it again! This time they are about to test the new transport on Epsilon IV. Given their stamina and durability, space-goats make for excellent test-subjects when it comes to these types of experiments and Sven is, as always, happy to lend a helping hand.
Don't ask because we don't know either. This vintage photo was found an ancient archive, with the EXIF data suggesting that it is 2,376 years old. It is the only evidence of this vehicle's existence and we assume that it was yet another prototype from those idiots at Llwyngwril Systems.
Springy wheels of chain links made this a fun and comfortable way to ride across the craters of Classic Space. The high seat gave great views and mounting/dismounting was never a problem in the low gravity environment.
Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
As we roll along on Hugh Mann;s tours, our guide pauses his commentary for a few moments, allowing us to enjoy the sights and sounds of the planet around us. Sometimes it is just nice to go out for a rove, for no particular reason, with no particular destination...like these two fellows here...
Febrovery 2025 - 7
Morning sun burst over the wall and lit up the leaves that have finally changed color here in AZ. We have fall when it gets a bit cool outside. This shot of Lego leaf parachuting is an idea inspired by Shelly Corbet; she’s done a few awesome shots like it.
Many people were expecting a nice rover, with 8 wheels on each side today. Sadly Blacktron commissioned today's build and they said, "Screw that!" in typically grumpy Blacktron style. After viewing several technical films, Llwyngwril Systems came up with this vehicle.

Hi everyone! Please enjoy my take on the 1981 set 6927 All-Terrain Vehicle. This updated take features functioning steering and suspension, while still having the iconic detachable mobile lab. Hope you like it!
Benny is ecstatic. The 90th anniversary reimagined Galaxy Explorer is here and Classic Space is back!
A CS fuel tanker truck for FebRovery 2022 installment 3. In my personal schematic for minifig suit colours, yellow astronauts are engineering and logistics, so either way this works.

Upgrade you old rover to this speedy, stylish and futuristic monowheel! Simply take your old Classic Space buggy's chassis and install it onto Llwyngwril Systems' latest piece of vehicular wizardry!
The giant tyre is great for crossing rough craters and will also keep the rain (and the view ahead) out of your face! Get yours today!

It might be July here in North Wales but somewhere in the folds and curves of the space-time continuum it's always Febrovery.
This model works as a toy and can be zoomed along, as shown in this video.

Febrovery 2025 - 2
Welcome to Planet Frost
A great way to see the many sights that Planet Frost has to offer is with a ride on Hugh Mann's Tours. Their spacious double-decker rover provides unobstructed views of well-known landmarks such as Jonah's Space Noodles, the Pinktron Diner, and the Grey:Tron robot factory. If you are lucky you might spot a famous celebrity like Honest John, Theodore Q. Spacepants, pop sensation Saelor Twyft, Professor C. Geiger, or Intergalactic Space D.J. Byen. Gud.
The LL-856 Hammerhead was used by the Federation to measure the gravitational and magnetic fields of planets, moons, and planetesimals, revealing vital information about their sub surface structures, composition, and dynamics. The wide hammerhead fins, packed with delicate, encased sensors, facilitated extremely fine spacial resolution in all directions, unimpeded by the main body of the craft.
This build came together very quickly by my standards, after playing around with those bubble cockpits and a blue castle turret. Created in September, and 54 studs long, it's my demi-SHIP. :) The blue turret I first spotted on a nice old neo-classic spaceship by Yvonne Doyle from back in 2008. As the old saying goes, all parts are Space parts!
More shots to come in the next couple of days. Nice to do that Lego Space design speciality, the twin cockpit. It's all old grey of course and the landing gear is functional.
Meet Lord Edward Booster and his robotic valet Jeev-X from planet Uslorth. If they remind you of Wooster and Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, you’re right, I drew inspiration from those two characters. And guess where they are headed...
Sometimes the best things come in small packages. This little fighter does not have exceptionally big guns or heavy armor, but what it lacks in armaments it makes up in speed and agility. It is tiny, lightweight, and packs enough thrust to flatten the pilot against the uncomfortably small seat.
I built this in less than 24 hours, after a weekend trying to work on my big project but not making much progress. So here's a little distraction while I recharge my creative juices.
As the team on Epsilon IV explore more of the surface, they come across a thermal hotspot in one of the marshes. The ancient bridge is clear evidence that the planet was previously inhabited by an intelligent species...
So I was tearing down an old build and decided to remake it in more of a sci-fi theme. Of course had to build a new bridge :) Only had one flextube so I tried a new technique which I think works rather well. Thanks for having a look!
Piloting a rover like you're flying a hang-glider amused Roy greatly.
He would definitely be advising Buggy-procurement to finalise the tender that would secure the base a fleet of these bad boys.

This was a tablescrap lying around my digital Lego-box since Febrovery 2022 - the cockpit and spikes were mostly done but it had woeful little wheels and a pedestrian chassis lacking the dynamics to compliment the top.
Luckily I picked it up yesterday after being inspired by Horcik Designs' 'Magentic' tow-truck rover with similar faceted cockpit treatment, got busy and and finished it* ready for today.
It turned out a bit of a beast.
[*some may say 'not finished ' with all the bottom-plate visible.]
Maybe I'll fix that at some point, but it was mostly about the shape and that's down so - pfft - will I be bothered?

Build into the small hours, and remember to have fun!

What do you think?
The Mongolarachne found on the surface of Tao-Cet are some of the largest arachnids discovered to date on an exoplanet. This relatively small specimen was slow enough for Ralph to observe in person and still escape unscathed. The species is quite docile and curious resulting in many documented encounters. Unfortunately, many spacemen are not too keen on these gentle giants and have attempted to use 500 kW HELSI combat lasers to burn them from space.

A Classic Space twist on an M.C. Escher masterpiece.
There are studs facing five directions in the whole thing, and this is probably clear, but the picture is actually on its side right now. That's how the original work is framed, and besides, it looks trippier this way.
Total build time: about 7 hours.
Do you know that's inktober right now? Artists all over the world take on the this drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. On the second day, one of my favorite artist, Brian Kesinger, drew this lovely robot and I decided to build a LEGO version of it. It was a one-hour build and I'm quite happy with the result.
All the credit, both for the idea and the name, goes to @briankesinger.
