It has been an exciting weekend!

[Hrw-Amen]

It has been an exciting weeken in my house as I have rediscovered a couple of boxes containing some of my old LEGO space stuff. A mixture really, but no old Classic stuff unfortunately. Still some Ice Planet, Spyrius, Blacktron and M-Tron and well as Space Police. I have have been searching in my mother's attic for a while now and managed to find two boxes. There are lots more that I have yet to rediscover as well as my big box of bricks. In fact I am wondering how I can't find it as it was a large wooden box a bit like a coffin!! I suspect it is actually in the shed she has some furniture stored in though.

Anyway, today I have openned one of the boxes. There is a mixture of vessels in it, some MOCS, some standard and an assortment of Mini-figs. My favourite of these old timers is my OCTAN Explorer which is a ship I built possibly 25 years ago. (As are all of these.)Here are some photographs, hopefully? (I am using Flickr for the first time due to the ongoing issues with Brickshelf, so fingers crossed it works.)

One very exciting thing was finding an Ice Planet Base, in its original box with all the parts still in the plastic bags unmade and unopen. Now the temptation is to make it, or should I leave it be in mint condition? What do you think?

I'll add more as i get time to photograph them. It is surprising how stuff stored away in a sealed box and wrapped up can still get so dusty! Then they have had 25 years or so to do it.Flickr Photostream (Hopefully?)

If you have seen any of my recent MOCs after coming out of the Dark Age again you will see a definate difference, nowadays I tend to finish stuff flatter with tiles, whereas these are just so lumpy, but in a good 'Old fashioned Space' way.

Edit:- I note the photographs did not work. However the link seems to be functioning. Obviously there must be some other method of linking pictures from Flickr, different to Brickshelf. I'll have to investigate, then again I did not get any error messages?

Nice finds. I think your MOCS are better than what the photos show. They are too small and low resolution to see much of anything.

If you want specific feedback other than "nice finds" then you'll need a better camera.
