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.

Neo-Classic Space heavy fighter, sort of thing.
Probably not my best set of engines ever, but I'm rather pleased with that dual cockpit.
Yeah, we're moving soon. This house is where PCS started, and where that era ends. Been a lot of MOCs built here, and a lot of friends build out there. All that will continue, just a few miles closer to Atlanta. Holy cow I gotta pack all this crap up.
She is quite a veteran in my collection, She was developed as a cargo centric vehicle
Features:
- Stovl spacecraft.
- Openable cockpit
- Quite big container, even can carry smaller Classic Space sets.
- Winch for cargo movement
- 4 Vector controlled dual Engine

Zephyrus Fuel Miner
A space mining vessel that collects atmospheric hydrogen from gas giants and transports it inside internal storage tanks. The colors are based on the R:Tron prototype.
Space Expedition Unit Bravo, Explorer Team 12 on Mars makes a grim discovery.

Space trike for space people to do some leisure lunar cruising. Not so useful for picking up space hotties with its single seat.
Has a rear suspension and whatnot.
I cant seem to find a proper setting on my camera to capture the color bright red, so it keeps looking horrible
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!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... here is a relaxing weekend build based on GBaileyNA's excellent LL918 redux found here:
