Spirit Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Here is the Asteroid Field Recon Voyager : This is my 13th custom neo-M:Tron MOC, continuing with the extended colour scheme I had detailed some time ago in this thread. Of course, you can click all the pictures for bigger versions. The Asteroid Field Recon Voyager (AFRV), is inspired by the Stellar Recon Voyager (6956) gameplay-wise and retains some of its decoration elements. Like its predecessor, it gives the feeling of a large interior, now with 5 crew members on deck, has what originally seemed to be canons, huge radar parabolas on the top, a container transport vehicle on the front and has a hold on the back for container transportation. It lacks however the small containers on its side, which were both too small and impractical, but they can be put in the hold with other containers. Its purpose was re-imagined and it is now dedicated to the destruction of asteroids threatening the colony, and the transportation of containers and devices. The AFRV is about 76 studs long, 62 studs wide and weights approximately 3.7kg (8lb 3oz). It has eight reactors of varying sizes... And 30 or so steerable guns, missiles... Among which some are well hidden. A small container transportation vehicle is hidden under the bridge. The hold is equipped with a crane to load the two new containers. The new containers are, of course, in the same standardized format as those of my other vehicles (see the first topic for details). The entrance of the ship is located in the hold. The ship can be opened to play inside. The bigger part at the top can be easily removed and is locked in closed position with the octogonal windows. Also, there's a new little droid. There's a weapon rack at the entrance, and the mandatory fire extinguishers because everything burns at every opportunity in space, movies taught us that. The bridge is accessible through sliding doors, that's a mandatory feature as well. Nobody's playing Space Invader... when the captain's around. Finally the landing gear can be retracted. And the bonus black light pic: The entire flickr album is visible here. There, hope you enjoyed it. Edited June 29, 2015 by Spirit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zerobricks Posted June 19, 2015 Awesome ship! Those neon green pieces really look great under UV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks guys :) @Zblj: The fluorescent parts all look great under UV lights. I wish they'd make some transparent fluorescent blue parts again. There are only those tiny roof tiles found in elves & mixels in that colour lately. They'd look awesome as reactors in the dark with a black light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spirit Posted June 22, 2015 I'd need an M:Tron Unikitty for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Posted June 23, 2015 Just great !! In every kind of way, very very coll!! I can´t tell a single part I like most. Perfect. Lego shall produce this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah, well, thanks but... Many here, including me, would be ecstatic if they were simply producing anything related to space at all (Star Wars aside, of course)... Though I'm sure an official version of something like this would have an incredible amount of very cool parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) A stunning amount of details, too many to list, are included in this awesome ship! I love the overall design, and especially the cockpit with the angled control panels (and of course the look under black light) A M:Tron Unikitty would be perfect!

Dannylonglegs Posted June 26, 2015 This is totally gorgeous! And huge too boot! I love the midsection where you throw in a bit of dark red! Great touch! There's so much going on, and it's an awesome MOC! A M:Tron Unikitty would be perfect! you're totally right... Lego Movie 2? ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chase The Cop Posted June 28, 2015 OUCH! I'm lost for words... AFRV is a beauty! I love all the details, moving parts and accessories, it must be awesome to play with! M-Tron were never my favorite squad but this is really cool.. I will go and see your other MOCs right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Posted June 28, 2015 @Lady K & Dannylonglegs: That'd be quite a custom piece to make. The M:Tron Unikitty would need a white background on a black brick, then the drawing of the head and finally a transparent fluorescent coating. Sounds awesome. I have no idea how to do that. @Chase The Cop: Great to play with, indeed. It's a bit heavy though, the kids need to use both hands to make it "fly", and they hesitate a lot when they have to carry it. The swooshing factor took a hit on this one. But aside from that it's really playable. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
