[MOC] Mars Rover

[soccerkid6]

A small rover I built back in 2020. Credit for the crane arm technique goes to John with his submarine build.

The rover features four wheel ‘steering’ and a docking station for the drone.

There are more pictures on Brickbuilt.

I used to get overwhelmed trying to build big vehicles, now I think these smaller ones are more fun to design. With all the smaller bits available they can have all sorts of neat features, like you added.

Where are those tires from? I've been out of the loop for a while.

Thanks! I enjoy buiding small vehicles for exactly the reason you mentioned 
Those wheels came out in 2016, and I got them from this City Rover which was an excellent parts pack for sci-fi models.

You call it a small rover but it exudes power from all sides!
I really like the arrangement of the front glass of the cockpit ...and the red flashing lights elegantly contrast with the white of the bodywork!
Excellent realization also of the Martian surface!
