Hi everyone, I usually lurk over in the History & Adventure forum but I thought you mught enjoy my latest MOC. This is a little bit of nostalgia for me ;-) Great fun to build too. I collected classic space from the very first series as a kid.

Cheers all :-D

Yeah the wheels did come from the insectoid range ;-) I was happy to find a good use for them. I always found it amusing that the classic space guys sometimes had equipment & vehicles that resembled weapons but were always called something else to make them more neutral lol.

So this isn't a mobile twin laser, it's a communications aray ;-)

A moonwacker huh? How'd it get that name?

It looks to be a quite sturdy design, imperative for cruising across luna surfances, and the blue and grey colour scheme seems very Classic Space to me. However, is red the right colour for the spacemen? They really do contrast with the blue and they would be a prime target for being gored by celestial bulls... :-D

lol It's kind of the lunar version of "Bushwacker" spliced with a healthy Aussie sense of humour ;-)

They're just there for the nostalgia value, & I actually chose red over white just so they would stick out ridiculously.
