hi guys, this is my first attempt on a Minifig scale MOC so I thought it was better to go with something "not too difficult" but at the end it really gave me more headaches than any of my other MOCs so far. The boxy and compact kind-of-retro shape wasn't as easy as I thought at first. I also tried my best to make it quite robust and playable so my 3yo son could play with it, which he happily did with good results:
"hey daddy! you can fit a minifig in here! wow I like it"… and daddy had a big smile on his face xD
Anyway, this is based on the M299 Utility Vehicle from SDF Macross, I ended up adding some personal touches here and there though, like the all new sexy and curvy screen shield :) btw, credits goes to my wife Vicky and her super idea for the seats pieces, I would have never dare to use purple seats on this model but at the end I think they look really nice on it.
Hope you like it :)
Our utility lines are in the process of being placed underground. I can't wait. This ugly mess is next to our garage.

In the foreground there is a tall water heater and behind it a shorter water heater. At the back of the closet is a forced air furnace / air conditioning unit - about ten years old.
The short water heater died - it lasted about 16 years. The water heater in front is working fine but is about 14 years old. I’ve got to tear out the working water heater to put the new one in place. I need two water heaters as there are two separate units and so I definitely need two units. Putting in two on demand gas units would be difficult to retrofit and get permits to start the work so I’m going to put in the same type of water heaters.
Now, the thing is, the furnace / AC unit is ten or so years old, and when that needs to be replaced the water heaters would have to be pulled so that the new HVAC unit could be installed, and the. the water heaters would have to be put back in place.
So… I’m going to go ahead and get a new furnace / AC unit.
Definitely a first world problem … I live in a townhouse or row house, so space is at a premium. I knew this when we moved in five years ago.

Simon T James made me aware of that I haven't really given my new "Ox" utility tractor a full presentation yet - so here it is!
The 4x4 "Ox" utility tractor, manufactured by Union Motor Works, is the Nordic air forces' ground crews' true and tested workhorse.
Based on the Royal Air Force's JCB Fasttrac tractors.
Wild flowers growing nearby decorate this Utility Box! They appear to be wild daisies. It makes an otherwise plain box get some beauty!

A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
This pole is situated adjacent to the historic Pears Mill on the Common in downtown Buchanan, Michigan, and has some history attached to it.

Additionally, a button attached to the other side of the pole reads:
