This month's LUGNuts challenge is called My first wheels and is all about building a LEGO car inspired by a toy car. Earlier this month I completed a BMW inspired by a 1/24 scale Bburago model. Whilst digging through my box of old toy cars, I also came across a fairly battered looking 1/60 Majorette Citroën CX, which inspired this latest model.

What is your favourite 90s space vehicle and why is is Solar Snooper? :)
I have been on a mission of building giant space vehicles for so many years and I still enjoy it. I think I have rebuild Solar Snooper 4 times already. You can find many similarities with my older builds, but this is the first time I have done one in Spyrius colors. And there is no better time to present it than Febrovery! :)
This planetary exploration rig has steering on two front axles (with different radius) and suspension on rear three axles.
Front can open and let out two speeders for scouting. 2nd and 3rd level of windshields is for drivers and navigators. The top floor has a big room with large windows, crane control, communication console and sofa for breaks. In rear section is large landing pad.
Bottom floor has two main entrances on sides between the wheels and equipment room with sliding door. Under the landing pad is a small science laboratory and compartment for smaller vehicle.
I really enjoyed this build and I tried to pack in many play features. I wanted to utilize all the front canopies with different purposes then just seating for 8 figs, hence the opening front part. Furthermore I am really happy with integration of the landing pad.
Other side of the CX; will try to get back for some better shots...
Suppose the ill-fitting bonnet is good for cooling i'm sure.
Most CXs have a strip running along the side of the car to protect the bodywork. However, some early versions models don't, which came in very handy for my build, as it would have been practically impossible to incorporate without interfering with the covers over the rear wheels.
The CX was Citroën's replacement for the classic DS. Early cars had the same engine as the DS, but transversally mounted forward of the front wheels. The rear wheels were placed far aft, which meant that, even though it was marginally smaller than the DS, the CX was very roomy inside.

The Citroën CX was built from 1974 until 1991. It was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. The CX used Citroën's famous hydro-pneumatic suspension system. This one is registered in Denmark.
Another of those cars that’s on my mental list of things to find each year, like the Renault 20/30 and Peugeot 604, but I don’t always manage to see – CX probably the easiest of the three to see due to it continuing in production for longer. This one a bit battered but presumably still roadworthy.

I last saw a Citroen CX about three years ago, on my drive home from work.
When I was a kid, I saw one every day, as the president of the Citroen owners club lived at the end of my street, on my walk to school. He also had a variety of even more odd and rare cars, not that I necessarily appreciated it at the time.
One day when I had come back home from university, he was out the front, talking with some other Citroen people, so I stopped by for a chat. The end result was a drive around the block.
As unusual as the CX looks from the outside, the inside view and drive experience is even stranger. It has some kooky rotary dials for instruments, but it was the self-centreing pneumatic steering, the zero-travel pressure-sensitive brake pedal, and the non-clutch, manual 3-speed gear-change with torque converter which really dominated the experience.
Having grown up with quite conventional, manual-everything, live-axle cart spring cars, the CX was out of this world.
I even like the shape - it looks like it is aerodynamic, but still beautiful.
This CX is a redo of a car from several years ago, but benefiting from some subtle, but effective redesigns of systems like the luggage compartment, windows, and some of the tricky bodywork contours.
