Rubblemaker Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) When the Neo Classic Space Federation puts out a galaxy-wide call to take part in a podrace on the Moon, the call is answered by the Blacktron Future Generation. Although Benny's racer, 'LL-UC45' uses cutting edge tech, the Future Generations 'WhiteGilled BlackFish' has never lost a race. The stage is set for a white-knuckle showdown as these old foes race each other across the dusty plains of the Lunar surface. A month to design and build. 3,000 pieces (ish, don't know wasn't keeping count) and a lot of left over discarded bricks, my Star Wars/Classic Space mashup moc is done.

WesternOutlaw Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Now this is some serious pod racing. I esp. like the Nautilesque Blacktron model. Nicely done. Quote
JintaiZ Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Amazing build! And it's classic space!!! Quote
The Neighborhood Merchant Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 That's a fantastic idea! Love the blacktron podracer and the landscaping. Looks excellent, great job! Quote

The entire thing from the movie to TLGs models, particularly 7171, to your very own racers - incredible. They are really, really cool. And superb builds. The lunar surface, colors, the shapes, the faces ... won-der-ful. Spoiler Close the visors though, surface pressure on the moon is really low - and the engines need to run at almost zero surface pressure. I guess these fans are some lunar dust collecting devices, turning them into super fuel - and the "bad" black one is doing something entirely different ... maybe even from a time long ago? No - no - SW here this is authentic SPACE OPERA! Congratulations! Best, Thorsten Edited October 29, 2020 by Toastie Quote
Rscheck26 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 great job, anything Classic Space I love... pod race theme is a great idea. Quote

Thanks, I’d like to say I’m the first to think of making a Classic Space podracer but alas I am not. Though I don’t think it’s been done to this scale or with two racing against each other. Come to think of it, I don’t think anyone has made a Blacktron podracer, though I’m probably wrong on that one too. On 10/29/2020 at 9:51 PM, Toastie said: Wow. I love podracers.

As for their visors, these guys are the toughest spacemen in the universe, they don’t need visors ;) On 10/30/2020 at 6:13 AM, Ragana9289 said: Amazing build!

White Phoenix of the Crown Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Will there be other subseries of space ? Quote

Jerry McGlade Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I really really like the blue podracer. It is fantastic. Quote
Redhead1982 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Nice racers, but I have to admit I was more attracted to the surface than the racers. Quote

sander1992 Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Great idea to mix podracers with classic Space themes. Quote
