F0NIX Posted September 19, 2014 Hello, long time since I have posted something in Eurobricks at all. And this subforum is not the place I visit too often... But anyways, I have bought the LEGO set 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! and it was a fun build and I like the model. It was my brother that had many LEGO set from the space theme, I was more of the Technic guy in my childhood. But I still like the classic space theme. About a week from now the "LEGO Build The Change" event will start in many cities in Norway. Here in my town we are a few members of Brikkelauget that will have a little exhibition with diffrent MOC's and original LEGO sets. The theme for this year is Transport and Communication. So a big spaceport with classic space is going to be a part of the exhibition. To keep small fingers from small visitors away from our models it is very nice to have a train running around on a track on the outside where the models are. So what kind of train goes outside a spaceport? And what kind of bricks did I have to make this? It had to be in the Classic Space colors, but I don't have much trans yellow except what was in the 70816 set. So then I set the challenge for myself: make a train out of the parts from only that set. I only added train wheels, PF trainmotor, PF receiver and a PF batterybox. And a few hours later this was the result: More pictures can bee seen here: It has a very low Q-value to be a creation from me. Especially the front part is not very secure. I hope you like the creation :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted September 19, 2014 I think that is pretty dam cool! I like how you made it just from the parts, and I think it looks like it would happily fit in a classic space spaceport =D The pipes out the side, and the 2 engines on the rear look in place as a means of power/thrust which is carried off well, and the front section is designed nice and sleek! One thing though... I do wonder how you could potentially make carriages for it and what they would look like? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted September 19, 2014 I agree- that looks fantastic, but could use from additional cars for full play value. I mean, it certainly doesn't need them, but might be a nice transition in height from the front to the engine car(s) and it would make it all the more awesome! Also, if there were a few passenger wagons, SpaceKitty would make a most entertaining Conductor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danth Posted September 19, 2014 This is awesome. Not sure what I prefer to imagine: billions of miles of space-track connecting planets, or some sort of quantum construction of track immediately in front of the train as it travels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F0NIX Posted September 20, 2014 Thanx for the comments! I see this vehicle more like a one-seater sportcar. Its not a cargo hauler or passenger transport. It's just for fun that Benny like driving around in circles and using fuel :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plastic_ati Posted September 22, 2014 You gave me some nice ideas with this alternate model. Congratulations for the build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
