CP5670 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) A heavy tractor and trailer for hauling around equipment on rugged planetary surfaces. The tractor includes steering, V6 engine and all-wheel independent suspension, and the trailer has suspended wheel bogies. It carries the Eagle, a two-man light attack craft.

lightningtiger Posted July 15, 2010 Excellent old school space design with some modern parts there 'CP5670' - I really like it ! The engine looks a mean one too ! (torque for pulling, then speed to get the you-know-what out of somewhere !) Great work 'CP5670' and I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProducePrincess Posted July 15, 2010 I like the long cockpit on it , it really fits the style of the theme, and those shocks you added to it must be fun to use on your desk eh. Will you be adding a trailer to this some time in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted July 16, 2010 Great space tractor CP5670! I love the classic simplistic design. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimus Posted July 16, 2010 Very nice work! You made Unitron good with this MOC. I like how well this fits in with the actual theme, everything from the colors to the parts used is perfect. Nice job on this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks, everyone. I like the long cockpit on it , it really fits the style of the theme, and those shocks you added to it must be fun to use on your desk eh.Will you be adding a trailer to this some time in the future? Yes, it's fun to roll around the house. I was actually going to make it motorized originally but there wasn't enough room for a battery box in it, so I just settled with a standard Technic engine. The differential also had to be oriented in a funny way to fit inside the small chassis, but it works quite smoothly. I'll probably make something for it to pull. It's supposed to be part of a factory in my monorail setup (which is not yet finished). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QQS Posted July 17, 2010 Very nice creation- in old good space design :) Excellent idea for engine- technic pistons fits in this model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted March 29, 2013 BUMP This vehicle now has a trailer and fighter to go with it (sort of inspired by the three-piece Model Team sets like 5591). I made these things quite a while ago, but only got around to taking pictures recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted March 30, 2013 Pretty nice. It keeps the general feel of the theme, and looks rather good overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks. I like to try and keep true to the original themes in these models, especially with the color schemes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted April 3, 2013 I wasn't on here long enough to see this truck the first time around, but it seems to be you've made your first model triple awsome. I especially like the colors and the fighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
