[MOC] "Blue Bull" Space Tank at the maintenance hangar

Recommended Posts

Hello,

this Space Tank is a "small class" unit inspired by WWI English tank Mark I. Colors and style are clearly based on LEGO Classic Space series.

Named "Blue Bull" due to the stocky shape, it's equipped with a huge long-range gun and with a little gun machine right below the rotating turret.

I particularly like the loader's hatch and the details featured both on the turret and the side.

The crew is composed by 3 crewmen: the commander, the driver and the gunner.

Here the Tank is at the maintenance hangar where the staff is taking care of it after a moon mission.

Even if Classic Space is not my comfort zone of building, and some friends of mine were surprised seeing this new build, I like this theme since I was a little boy.

Moreover having in stock a lot of CS pieces pushed me to build the tank and the space hangar.

It has been really funny building this MOC and for sure won't be alone for a long time.

The forklift is based on Alban Nanty one.

More pics and info on my flickr photostream.

All the best and happy building!

That's great! The greebles on the side of the tank are superb.

I really like this as it is but is there any chance you can do a pure Classic Space exploration version without the guns?

Thanks Steve. I'm thinking to build other versions of the tank even without the gun. At the moment I'm engaged in photographing my latest big MOC (very hard-working) but as soon as I finish the shooting I'll build new Classic Space stuff :wink:

I love CS-themed sets, and this MOC is no exception. This is beautifully built.
