Alligators were mainly used on swampy planets such as Sqornshellous Zeta. This meant that they never featured in the photographs of arid lunar deserts that form our stereotype of a Classic Space scene. After the over exploitation of the indigenous mattresses, vast nature reserves were set up to protect the dwindling numbers of rare king-sized, pocket-sprung, orthopaedics. The Alligator vehicles proved ideal for scientists to travel across the swamps and monitor population numbers.
This vehicle was inspired by David Alexander Smith's Photostream. It's full of all sorts of Classic Space machines. I especially wanted to stick with conventional, studs up, building technique. Another part of getting the look seems to be using sloped not the newer curved bricks.
The shape and functionality were inspired by the new Technic turntable. This has no teeth on it inside. The hole is big enough for the spacemen to squeeze through from the front to the back compartment.
This is set 6820 , released in 1986, recolored in the classic Blue/Grey color scheme.
This was actually the first recolored set I've made, since I've started to rebuild my collection of space sets in 2020.
Not my best... but I hope the psychedelic backgrounds make those uploads a bit interesting ^^

The Classic Space Federation commissioned Aratech Repulsor Company to build a customised version of their 74-Z speeder bike for federation use. The bike had extended range and improved sensor array, and became popular with federation pilots, and despite many repeat orders, there were never enough to meet demand. They were highly prized among the pilots who got hold of them.
This is the second video of hidden places you can find in the retro LEGO game Classic Space Adventure that I have created.

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.
First entry made for a nice contest on Lego Idea "Out of this World Space Builds". I have wanted to build a neo-classic space starship for some time but didn't find the inspiration, this contest was a good thing to make me start.
It’s a little display of a classic spaceman mining a comet to extract some ice and gems.
I'm back, almost 1.5 years without new creations, finally i can create something new. LEGO Monorail Futuron MOC, still using some iconic elements from LEGO 6990 and inspiration from others Monorail MOC. Enjoy, i hope you like it.
Play Well Series decayed minifig photo 5: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away” (classic red spaceman).
I'm still not 100% satisfied with my modernized Starfleet Voyager, but it looks a lot better with a revised cockpit that actually has dark blue glass.
A sneak peak of what the BWTMT Brickworks Building Club will get with there March (Spring 2014) Newsletter. Join the club to get this LDD File too. Coming Soon!
This MOC is really just four unmodified, unrelated sets posed together: 75186 The Arrowhead (Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, 2017), 76157 Wonder Woman vs Cheetah (DC Comics Super Heroes, 2020), 60300 Wildlife Rescue ATV (City: Wildlife Rescue, 2021), and 60304 Road Plates (City: Traffic, 2021). But! There's a bit more to the though process than just posing four sets together.
I bought 75186 in early 2018 because it reminded me of the classic Galaxy Explorer with a twist, sort of like the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation compared to the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series. I then bought 75171 Battle on Scarif (Star Wars: Rogue One, 2017) for a base and landing pad to complete the 928-equivalent modern set concept, but the landing pad was too small, the base itself was too small, the colors were too dull, and overall it was just too warlike. It didn't feel like Lego Space boldly going where no minifig has gone before. Next I bought a couple of tan baseplates and tried to design a landing pad and base in Studio that would use them, but I couldn't come up with anything that really worked with the Arrowhead, and the use of baseplates didn't seem modern enough to me. After that, I tried modifying various Star Wars bases and Speed Champions garages in Studio, but couldn't find something I liked.
Finally, official sets came to the rescue and saved me the trouble of making any of my own designs to go with the Arrowhead for a 928-equivalent set. The new Road Plates set provides, out of the box, a completely modern landing pad that's exactly the right size, and the dark bluish gray goes well with the dark bluish gray sections of the Arrowhead. The Wildlife Rescue ATV's dark red goes well with the Arrowhead, its red wheels give a nice Spacey feel of exploration, and the detachable drone is such a classic Space feature. The Wonder Woman satellite dish is a satisfying fully modern build whose dark tan and light bluish gray colors go well with the dark tan and light bluish gray of the Arrowhead, and it has a nice high-tech feel in a remote location for lots of adventurous exploratory fun. None of the minifigs in these sets are in spacesuits, but this is Galaxy Explorers: The Next Generation! Whereas TOS spacemen could only travel as far as a number of mineral-rich, but airless and uninhabitable, moons, TNG spacemen can travel much farther to reach habitable worlds with breathable air, plus plant and animal life. They don't need to wear spacesuits. Their signal shacks can have plants growing all over them. It's fine! So, between these four sets, we have two pilots, one alien ground crew, one maintenance robot (just like in Classic Space!), one intrepid surface explorer, and one person who stays to tend the signal shack in more comfortable clothes. All the minifigs go together reasonably well and reasonably well with the theme idea, even if none are Spacemen.
Comparing the total part and minifig counts of the sets in this $160 RRP-USD arrangement to the total part and minifig counts of the $160 RRP-USD Millennium Falcon from 2019, the $160 RRP-USD AT-AT from 2020, the $160 RRP-USD Moff Gideon Light Cruiser from 2021, and the $160 RRP-USD Razor Crest + Trouble on Tatooine from 2020/2021, it's no fewer total parts and minifigs than those. So in that respect this scene also works well as a concept for one big playset of the format "big spaceship plus smaller ground base."
OK, that's a wall of text that nobody will read. But I wanted to write it down, since this MOC (of sorts) has been in my head for four years and it's finally done!
The basic model in mech mode and the heavy lifting variant in vehicle mode.
Interchangeable arms feature added to the Benny’s Space Mech (A.K.A. Space Rover). By swapping between different arm modules, "Space Rover" can have different configurations to perform different tasks. In this update, a pair of giant claws is presented, when "Space Rover" is equipped with this giant claws module, it becomes heavy lifting variant. And of course it can mix and match with other existing arm modules to create more variants. More importantly, even equipped with the giant claws, it can still transform into vehicle mode!

During the early days of the Civil Space Police, they fielded the Solar Vanguard, a hybrid interceptor/perp transport.
The Solar Vanguard was mostly used on sleepy backwater worlds to apprehend rogue Blacktron agents committing minor offenses such as jay-walking, spitting, and public drunkeness.
Quick, well-armed, and holding an internal single holding cell, this is one Space Police craft not to take lightly.
It was the year 1979 when LEGO launched one of the sets that became among the most iconic in the AFOL world: the 928 set.
The Classic Space theme was launched just a year earlier in 1978 and this set became a legend because it represented the most beautiful and largest spaceship in the entire fleet. It is incredible to think of the success that this set of only 338 pieces has had if we compare it to those on sale today, but in those days we were children who dreamed of having this box and our best memories are linked to it.
In '79 I was just 5 years old and I have never been able to have this box, too expensive for my parents, but I have always dreamed of it looking at it in the catalogs. Finally as an adult I looked for it and managed to buy it!
All this premise was used to introduce my new work: the Galaxy Explorer SDR-926! This year I am 10 years old as AFOL and I thought about making mocs that have a special meaning for me. The first of these was the desire to make a spaceship of some importance! SDR-926 wants to be a tribute to the 928 but with very different characteristics and numbers. Number 926 represents the birth of my daughter. The spaceship measures 85 x 75 x 21 cm and is made up of almost 4600 pieces! It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.
Thank you for watching!

Another build for 2nd round of Iron Forge, the seed part being the tap piece
A Classic Space Hangar Scene. Actually a while ago, i had a very similar build, but for another contest in a much smaller scale
1997’s Robo Master, the Big One from the bizarre RoboForce sub-theme!
That neon dome! And all the prints! It’s like a better version the Blacktron 2 pods, but it’s on this weird Beast Wars mecha. And it doesn’t detach to fly off. Bummer.
What does detach to fly off is pretty cool for how simplistic it is: a smaller Unitron Star Hawk II (#1789). A set design from another far superior Space sub-theme.
I don’t mean to hate on RoboForce this much, it looks cool, has tons of prints, neon transparent elements, and great minifigs with leg prints and updated helmet sculpts! All of that is awesome!
But why wasn’t this designed as a spacecraft? It would have been among the best. LEGO hadn’t figured out Mechs in ‘97, but they sure have now.
Final thought, what was the tail thing?
A weapon? A ‘robot’? A charger for the spacecraft?
More Retro Space LEGO sets to be featured soon, including more RoboForce

Another build for Febrovery. Still digital.
Everybody wanted to mine, so there was a need for many different mining rovers.
Every mining fan can choose something for themselves!
I made build instructions for this one: Instructions on Rebrickable
A self contained Research Base, built on a planet in the cold icy depths of space.
The first floor houses the main access airlock and the lab and bio-dome where the scientists carry out all their experiments.
The second floor houses the habitation block, with bunk beds, a kitchenette and toilet facilities.
The third floor has a store and laundry and a second airlock allowing roof access.
The roof contains all the communication equipment and an observation (or angry) dome.
