This build is for the Interstellar Outpost contest on Flickr. The idea is to build a one-man starfighter, landing pad, ground support vehicle, and comm station that together form a space outpost. I don't build sci-fi a lot, so this was a good challenge. After so many Castle builds, using lots of bright colors was really fun.

The starfighter's wings rotate with a twist of the knob on top, to switch between flight and hover/landing mode; it also has a functional landing gear. The tanker truck has working steering (also operated by the knob on top) and 'suspension'. The comm station has a full interior and the landing pad doubles as a storage area.

And just for fun, a picture with the colors inverted:

What an awesome landscape! I dont think many people though of using pink/violet for an alien alndscape but looking now its just perfect! Nice outpust with vehicles and mecha. Does the mecha have such large fingers?

NVM its a shuttle not mecha, my bad.

Thanks! I've been wanting to use the lavendar and pink, I figured an alien landscape would work well with them :classic:

The ground is very eye-catching!

Thank you :classic:

That's an awesome "little" outpost!

Do you plan to make more on the same theme?

Thanks, I probably won't be doing more in this theme anytime soon. But I may do more eventually :classic:
