I don't think I've posted my complete, 100% original, 100% buildable, LL 928 remake before. The complete playset is about 1250 pieces.
This build takes the idea of the 918 in the direction of being as sleek as possible while preserving the same length and width. Unfortunately, the wedges at the back aren't available in blue, so I had to paint them. The wedges at the front and back of the fuselage underneath the wing are extremely rare in light bluish gray. It's not exactly a production-optimized design. I tried to enter this in the Ideas GWP contest as the "Bluebird Science Scout," but they wouldn't let me.
1997’s Robo Raider! Check out this old LEGO Mech from a space sub-theme that I hardly remember!
I was a huge fan of the Space theme through the entirety of the 90’s, and was probably collecting the most LEGO of my childhood around ‘97, but when I came across this sub-theme I have a blind spot.
Exploriens? for sure. Insectoids and UFO? I was all about it. Robo Raiders? Never heard of ‘em.
Enough of my potential forgetful-ness, check out this funky robot.
This whole theme had some pretty rad prints, awesome neon transparent elements, and really cool mini-figs!
More RoboForce and older Space sets to be featured soon!

With that much Colonial Viper in its ancestry, it needed a snake name. Enter Hydra, the constellation of the (male) Water Snake...
The far-out intergalactic space rock band The Highway Stars performing in front of a group of 'nauts!
These were each shot on top of a glass pane, while the black backdrop is decorated with Christmas lights. Each of these photos were taken with various aperture settings and different camera positions, sometimes with certain band or crowd members re-positioned.
I'm not done with the nose or the underside of my adaptation of the Wolf Leews 924, but here it is flying in formation with my other Wolf Leews adaptations. Original here:

A 'lost' ship, which has already mutated into something else. But I thought it might be worth putting here.
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!
Video presentation here:
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.
Spacemen would often come across strange animals on their travels through the galaxy. Some of these could be dangerous and hostile.
One such example was the Pergyl worm. Thrill-seeking astronauts would hop on the back of the Pergyls to enjoy bumpy ride and to post the video of their daring exploits on SpaceBook (other social media sites were also available).
Sadly, spacemen who were bucked off the worms' backs were often eaten. This led the authorities to post signs warning of the "Pergyl Danger".

This toy was totally inspired by David Alexander Smith's brilliant series of Outer Reach Research Team builds. You can find them on Flickr and MOCpages.
Here's a video of the toy in action: flic.kr/p/27ikgwV

Of course, I still have my original, so I built it to have it as a reference while building the new one.
------------------------------------------------------------------THE IDEA------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the horizon of all those treacherous dunes on Classic Space box art? Well, heck if I know -- BUT I can ask you a better question: how does one get there? CERTAINLY not with 6mm offset tread wheels mind you! Legend has it, as you progress deeper and deeper into the dunes, the sediment becomes darker and redder. Some believe this is because of a rich resource which lies deep beneath it, some say it leads to treasure, and others may warn that is home to the Insectoids... Personally I think its because I only had so many options to work with for backgrounds -- BUT the answer is up to you!
------------------------------------------------------------------THE CRAWLER------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the big question, how does one cross those dunes? Well, the nerds over at Classic Space HQ (trans-green edition) have the answer! They came up with the legendary idea of slapping the biggest tires possible on the 6901 Mobile Lab, but then quickly realized the tire itself was far bigger than the lab, so they had to resort to an increased budget. They searched far and wide for whatever traditional light gray pieces they could find and were able to create a behemoth lab crawler ready to challenge the dunes themselves. It is time to discover and research what lies beyond them!
I liked the Flying Fish spaceship by LeggoCMG and I had fun coloring it with the Classic Space colors.
This planetary explorer (factory name: “PEX-1ML”) was designed as a mobile base (serving also as a laboratory and an observatory). It has all the necessary equipment to explore terrain of new planets. Its drivetrain and suspension was built to handle very rough terrain, while its body was constructed from materials that can withstand almost any weather conditions.

A personal favorite of mine to redesign. Enjoy, and support the link to bring back Classic Lego Space! ideas.lego.com/projects/593592ef-5da6-4a2a-9422-a17e0f8438ea
Had a lot of fun designing this one. Please help bring back Classic Space and support/share the link below! Thanks! ideas.lego.com/projects/593592ef-5da6-4a2a-9422-a17e0f8438ea
