[MOC] Mining Outpost

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Last year someone asked me if I was planning to build a layout based on the Space miner from the Collectable minifigures.

I thought that was a nice idea and during Lego World in the Netherlands previous year I received a lot of Bricklink part 30022.

I had no idea what to do with that until my neighbor was creating a big triangle with three of those parts. That is where my idea started to create a tower for the outpost.

To give a better image of the tower. I show you a picture from the side.

More pictures of the outpost are in my Flickr album,.

In the Flickr album are more Space MOCs. The last four pictures are from the outpost.

Awesome tower, and the color works well. Any incoming spaceships would be able to se it from far away and thereby avoid collisions.

The shape works very well as well, The first picture with the whole of the build is my favorite. 
This would look awesome on a small or large mooncrater diorama ! 
Well done :thumbup:

Oh, and no else have replied to your post :sceptic:. ... Makes me wonder ... This deserves quite a few more likes.

Thank you, KlodsBrik. :classic:

I have started with a landscape for the outpost. 

It should be finished next week.

After some time building with the bricks I had, I have finished one part of the layout.

I decided to make the landscape magenta, because I received a lot of 1x3 slopes previous year and I wanted to use those parts for something.

Cool use of colors.
Definately not the average MOC.
And amazing that it actually works. 
Looks great so far ! :classic:

I am surprised as well.

I have started building a loading crane, but I need some ideas for the arm.

Nice idea to build something for the miner, and the addition  of the pink environment makes it very alien indeed!

Thank you.

At first I wanted to built the landscape in Dark Bluish Gray, but when I received the magenta slopes I decided to make it in magenta instead.

Last year I created a container ship for the miner. The container ship will be used in this landscape.

Very nice! I love the colours you used for the tower and the landscape! Great job! :classic:

Thank you. :classic:

Wow, that's quite unusuall color scheme, but I like it :laugh: Don't know if I have ever seen such before. If you make more MOCs like this (even small things, vehicles, vignettes, ships) with the same color scheme, it might become your recognizable style.

I have built a blue/dark purple landscape once, but that was 3 years ago (Time really does fly :tongue:).

After building some other stuff, I have started with the other part of the landscape and I have finished a few small builds.

I have built a cargo crane with a lot of yellow. I am not really happy with the front, but I do not have the parts to create something different.

Last year, I have created a Container Ship and I have built a small platform for it.

Picture is a bit terrible. :look:

I have finished the lay-out, yesterday.

The outpost has a platform and a cargo crane to load the crystals in the container ship. 

The lava stream has another turn and is between the platform/cargo crane and the outpost.

Here is an overview.

The platform was planned to place it before the cargo crane, but that would cover a lot of the landscape.

Here is a picture of the left site of the layout.

Great additions.
This have become a very lovely alien landscape.

Almost feel sad that it´s finished. Would have loved to see further additions for it. :classic:

thank you, Klodsbrik. :classic:

I do not have many magenta parts left to expand. If I receive more parts, I will expand the landscape.:wink:

Hi everyone,

It has been some time that my Mining outpost was build.

I have updated the landscape after receiving some parts.

Here is the update.
