The four Galactic Party Popes come visiting in their laser-proof Popemobile to spread good vibes. Driven by their mini droid butler and protected from all who would harsh their mellow by two nuclear penguins. Serious fun.
To mark the recent posting of the 5,000th awesome Rover picture to the Febrovery group here's a poster with (nearly) all the Rovers Crimso Giger has ever built. - inspired by the great idea by Pascal to "Edit them all into one Picture"
Well I can't do that but I can do a mosaic..
[You'll need to zoom in on the highest-res-version]
No infringement is intended.
Purely a celebration of all that is Rovers.
In February.

Febrovery 2024 - 21
FebRovery 2017 build
L.O.O.P.E.R., short for Lunar Observation Orbital Propulsion Expedition Rover, was a popular lunar vehicle for exploring the vastness of lunar frontier for resource exploration. The constant motion of the gondolas allowed for upclose analysis and collection of lunar material on the ground as well as clear view inside of craters from a higher vantage point. The L.O.O.P.E.R. allows for up to 8 specialized teams to simultaneously conduct their specialized research activities. Each gondola was color coded by the team that would occupy it. Each specialized team was responsible for the following activities:
Red team: Magnetic ore sample detection
Orange team: Magma detection and mapping
Yellow team: Ground and Solar Radiation detection
Light green team: Live biological sample detection
Dark green team: Fossilized biological sample collection
Light blue team: Oxygen source detection
Dark blue team: Water source detection
Black team: Sky mapping and navigation
Back on Flamoose there is another cat that is another colorful one. There are too many to show them all so for now just take a look at this rover. All the rovers on this planet are a little different!
On an icy planet called Krysto, a little baby seal got separated from his mother for 1 month. It was scary but they got through it. Today they met when the baby roved to the ocean on Krystol!!!!!!
p.s. Happy Valentine's Day!!
Made the little bot while sorting... it made me laugh hard, so I built a little Rover to go with it. Hope you'll like this little scene :-D
The members of the Classic Space Radio Control Club have decided to join in with the Febrovery Fun with some new builds for the month. Here we see models of the 858 Radar Roller and the 987 Mobile Crane.
Strangely, it has been impossible to find any reference to the 987 Lego set anywhere else on the internet. The 858 is also a very rare set, with this one seeming to be the only full-scale example known to exist.
Another "what are these parts for?" Rover. The big chunk in the rear is a ship's base, slapped two tank-wagon tops on top, and added a slopey space thingy in front. Add some bits and bobs and get a rover.
Toy Project Day 3116
The greatest LEGO Space theme that never was, Seatron was conceived right after Futuron and would have given us our first (and more creative and interesting) LEGO aliens most of a decade before the UFO theme released.
All we have is some intriguing preliminary shots of a fascinating theme with a white, black and trans red "surface" palate and an Aquanauts-like yellow, black and trans blue "underwater" palate.
Anyway, I think it would have been a great theme, and it's well worth a MOC or several. And it being FebRovery let's make a rover.
Probably the Seatron faction minifigures would have been more Futuron-like than CS-like, but my Futuron minifig supplies are practically nonexistent.
I've done some Seatron-like MOCs before, connected with the Ice Planet faction as explorers of a subsurface ocean within Planet Krysto (a subtheme I call "Ice Planet: Aquarius Project"), but this is my first actual Seatron MOC.
Say hello to Benny's Monorail Manufacturing Modular Mobile Moonbase (Or 'Mmmmmm'!)
After his titular role in the first LEGO Movie, Benny built the Part Monorail. However, monorail track isn't cheap! So Benny, ever the crafty and resourceful master builder, devised this clever mechanism! Using old 9V Train Tracks, smoothed together with classic grey space rock, and a little LEGO magic ;) Benny's radical rover prints new (old) monorail track as it rolls along. Between gathering rock from the planet's surface, and intermittently receiving supply orders, of 9V track (nobody's really using it, anyway...) the Party Monorail never has to stop!
Filled with play-features, I designed this structure as a companion to my Party Monorail MOC as if it were a real set. The multi-story access, detailed sophisticated 1980's technology, poseable crane arms, and 'fusion chamber' all echo design from the original classic space sets (as well as using 99% old light grey, throughout). The suspension works, too!
I threw an edited 'spaaaace' background in, and will supplement with some detail shots soon! Enjoy!! Happy Febrovery!

For whatever reason, these kept getting surpassed by other builds. But they're quite cool so I thought I'd share them rather than do a big compliation picture.

We built into the small hours, and had a lot of fun!

Like likes, love comments.
What do you think?
Sure, the dropship jockeys and switch-fighter aces got all of the credit, but you can't run a Mars mission without resources and recon.
Because apparently I can't just build one rover. Here's a pair of microscale rovers I build for FebRovery. Mars Mission was my childhood space theme (sorry to all of you veteran AFOLs), and so I had to build a little tribute to it. I also managed to fit a small interior in this thing, scaled for microfigs. I'm quite proud of how it turned out!
The people of Farbenfroh IV have built a galaxy-wide trade empire on rare pigments. Here a robot-operated rover gathers silica dust from the surface of an uninhabited high-albedo moonlet in the Glasblumen system. Flown to Farbenfroh by rocket drone, the dust will be processed into an exclusive shade of nail polish that sells for thousands of credits per milliliter.
For more photos see the full set.
I wanted to do something for Febrovery, but my only available parts are a couple of the new Lego Movie sets. So this rover is an alternate build of 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace, using about 60% of the parts. This is a my first rebuild and I'll just say it's harder than it looks!
...that only brings bad luck!
Ich bin nicht abergläubisch, das bringt nur Unglück!
Horace "Lucky" Teelge bought this cutting edge technology rover a few years ago for the harsh conditions of dirt mining on the K'Sche astroids. Few years... be it fifteen? Thirty? Thirty-five? After a while you lose track as well as you lose wheels. At the moment this vehicle has 13 wheels, salvaged from other wrecks, or bought cheaply from their owners who fled the prospering city of Dead Man's Dwell.
His leg? He slipped and fell after the 6th shot of Wodsky after celebrating his last successful harvest. Work hard, party harder!
Febrovery 2019 No. 15
When you're stuck on a planet where the weather cannot decide if it's snowing or thawing, you just flip the front of your rover and go wherever you like.
First Rover for this season, unfortunately my motivation is about zero. But as I did this six years in a row, just cannot stop now. Let's see how far I'll get.

Toyproject Day 3108
So I did more than one a day and some didn't make the grade or just got superseded by ideas I wanted to pursue more.
Here's the best of the rest, or in some cases just a clearer view of something a bit small in a busy scene.
Micro Crawler Lab aka "Da Big Bus"
Really happy with this but didn't manage to put it to good use in a scene.
Never a good look to get stuck at the Europa Refinery because of a white-out.
Ted was going to have to get a shimmy-on if he was going to get back to base before the snow completely blanketed the way home...
Having watched "The Empire Strikes Back", the people in charge of Classic Space decided that an all-terrain vehicle with four feet would be very useful for lunar exploration. They immediately commissioned Llwyngwril Space Systems, forgetting this company's somewhat chequered history in the field of vehicle design.
The resulting Foot-Wheel vehicle worked very well, though its feet flicking around made an incredible noise. Fortunately spacemen could block their earholes with the cheese that was found in abundance on the Moon.
Another problem with the Foot-Wheel was that it had to be maintained by a team of vehicle mechanics and specially trained chiropodists.
Fourth Wall: The wheels on this rover are linked together and also to the top radar. Turning the wheels turns the radar and vice versa.
