I've put the classic space livery on a 917LH...and i got it.
Benny can now go to Le Mans with class!
i have a newfound love of the space guys after working on the Exo Suit. love that Classic Space logo on his shoulder. and how awesome is that razor stubble?!
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!

I'll be replacing the bonnet (or 'hood' if you prefer) with one of these. They're quite rare in blue.
A "small" outbuilding from Jeff McClain's interpretation of "LL928 Comes Home" by Wolf Leews. The original is way too greebly, uses non-production colors, mixes obsolete and modern parts, and has a fixed (dummy) hatch.
This redesign solves all those problems. The hatch is from my previous post, but with only one door instead of a full airlock due to size restrictions. The larger building from "LL928 Comes Home" is coming soon. It will feature the full airlock.

The mainstay of the Unitron's Volunteer Patrol Force, the Star Hawk IV was responsible for sector patrol in the service of peace and harmony.
Sporting lasers, missiles, and disintegrators, the Star Hawk was deadly to any and all enemies to peace by annihilating said enemies by unequal force of arms. And if all else failed, the blistering speed allowed the Unitron pilot to flee when they found themselves outgunned.
*Note: This was built in 2021 as part of my Neo-Classic Space builds. In my world, Unitron was a volunteer force, and generally inept, balanced out by the able M:Tron force.
I have some more of these girder wings laying around, but only had instructions for these five fighters.

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.
I started a series back in 2018, called Flipover Series. It consist of 3 flipover rovers which have 2 different completely usable sides. The 3 rovers commemorate 6 eras of the old space themes.
This is the first one in the Classic Space / Futuron theme. It's the smallest one. It has the old lego light system.
On the Classic Space side you can access the battery. and can pack cargo on the back, and it's got lights for visibility.
On the Futuron side you have seats for 6 minifigs, 3 cannons and a small compartment for tools.
The cockpit can be rotated with a knob on the back.
Also the rover has 4 wheel steering with a knob in the back for steering. as well.
The Galaxy Explorer by Gerrit vd Merwe seems to be chiefly inspired by the Wolf Leews design. It is mainly notable for a very large interior and a lot of piping on the top surface. This interpretation increases the interior space by lengthening the cabin 1 stud and giving the third crew member fold-away displays and controls, allowing crew members to traverse the entire length of the cabin during flight. The greebling is also interpreted in a way that looks better to me. If built in real bricks, this would be quite a bit more expensive than the original. Original here:
