[MOC] Mars Rover

Recommended Posts

That is a really nice build! I love how you used that cockpit piece :blush:

Vehicles like this is what I wish Lego would produce in their sets instead of the oversized rovers we have been getting.

Thank you.

The cockpit and an image from a boardgame (here) was the main starting points of this MOC. Normally I build small things, maybe because i loved to play LEGO in the 80s :D

I like this rover! It combines some old Life on Mars feel with modern details.

And thumbs up for the Vitruvian Minifigure!

Life on Mars was one of my first loved themes after my dark ages. I'm trying build some vehicles and structures with the Vitruvian logo.

Thank you.

I belive there is a duplo tyre with the same tread pattern that fits over any round 4x4 brick/rim.

but anyhow, nice model.

Can you give me the bricklink ref? I'm curious with this tyre.

This is definitely a better use of the cockpit piece from the most recent space shuttle set, and there are so many fine details for a surprisingly small build. Are you planning on doing more mars-based builds?

Thank you. The cockpit part appears in this set: 60225: Rover Testing Drive

I definitely want to do more MOCs on this theme (I even have several Vitruvian tiles), however at this moment I don't have anything planned.

In the meantime I made a short video (in portuguese) explaining the features of MOC:

Not too complex but of great visual impact! :wub:

Oh, nice to see another LoM fan here! I liked this theme when I was a child, but obtained some sets only as an AFOL. I collected all the Martians but sadly I don't have human sets except for a small rover.

Do you plan to build something Martian? Their style is a bit weird but charming.

Build something Martian?
Humm, I had never thought about it. But it is still an interesting suggestion.
Mainly because it could go in unconventional ways, something like the Bradbury's Martian Chronicles.

That's fantastic. This line/theme is what got me back into Lego.

Fantastic rover! I love that is is not as huge as most Mars Mission rover sets!

Thank you for the kind words!
