Alpha Bernini Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Hi, this is my entry to the Classic Space Era Spaceship Contest. The spaceship is about 39 studs long (including the antennas) and about 38 studs wide. The Beryllium Buzzard is a prospecting vessel in charge of mapping remote celestial bodys, focussing on deposits of natural resources. The secondary vehicle is a Space ArachnoMobil, perfect for excursions on raw surfaces of asteroids, moons and uninhabited planets. It can be hung up magnetically at the ship’s middle section. The front section contains two decks: Pilot’s and navigator’s seats on the upper deck, scientific workstations and vidiyo communication on the lower deck. The upper deck is connected by clips and can be removed: The crew from left to right: Yeboah: Pilot, adrenaline, music. She gets you safely to every imaginable unstable dusty rock out there. And picks you up performing the most dramatic flight maneuver you’ve ever seen. Khan: Captain, communication, coffee. Like his infamous ancestor, he leads the crew with a rough hand and great passion. He often needs his diplomatic skills, e. g. when local leaders lay claim on "their" asteroid fields. Kowalski: Security, navigation. He usually serves as copilot and navigator. Always keeps a nervous eye on the surroundings. Da Silva: Science, tech, outdoors. She does all the cool spacewalks, rides the ArachnoMobil and analyzes the dust samples. Outsiders think her job is the best one. You might wonder, why the ship contains 5 workstations, while there are only 4 crew members. The sad truth is that I only have 4 M:tron-minifigs Crewman Five tragically died on the latest outdoor mission, just to reinforce the situation’s hazardousness ;P Thanks for reading/watching! I hope you like this little exploration ship :) Edited January 28, 2023 by Alpha Bernini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted January 30, 2023 I was thinking to say the exact same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henchmen4Hire Posted January 30, 2023 Looks like a ship that could fly straight out of the Steredenn video game, awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Third Navigator Posted January 30, 2023 White stripe you made, in her red hull looks impressive. also I think her bow design looks cool, compact good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seasider Posted January 30, 2023 I love this model but surely promoting just this one on the front page when it’s part of an ongoing competition is wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's at least the third entry we've put on the frontpage, and the contest runs for another nearly three weeks. Drives interest in and exposure for the contest in general, which is good for all the entries. That's the aim, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted January 30, 2023 Interesting shape. From the first picture, the top view, I was expecting a sleek fighter like craft. I was presently surprised. Good M-Tron ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I’m happy you like my ship :) Although I’m personally happy that my moc got featured on the front page, I understand your thought that this might be unfair, as long as the contest is open.

soccerkid6 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Great amount of interior space in this impressive craft! Your combination of windscreens for the main canopy looks terrific, as do the chunky intakes. Magnets are always the ultimate for cargo transport in my mind, and the arachnomobil is a clever twist on the usual ground vehicles Edited February 22, 2023 by soccerkid6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
