    If you are dealing with planets with earth-like atmospheres, you can go with a sci-go western feel (think outlaw star, firefly, trigun) and use western or adventurers clothing. Some of the Dino fighters (old and new) and movie bodies are good too.

    Absolutely. If I could get a faction thread I could compile them all into one. I only bumped so posters could get an idea of what I was talking about. How should I go about putting them all

    Into one thread?

    And that is a great idea about the cladding. It'll give me a reason to use that giant bag of blue tiles I bought! Thanks for the idea!

    Again, mea culpa. I love the site and hope to be a better contributor once my photo skills improve. I have about 15 or so models built for this faction and about the same number built for another one, so compiled threads would allow me to showcase them altogether!

    You can see the theme emerge. Imagine a universe where the space police couldn't or wouldn't, protect them. The members of the IP2002 faction had to get tough, or die. The eternal winter is not the only thing cold and cruel on Krysto

    Thanks. I've done a lot of Ice planet color scheme and feel builds. Working on a storyline set in the "future" where the descendants of the IP2002 and the exploriens are at war with each other, so it has a much more military feel!

    Check em out and tell me what you thing.

    A search for frost Skorpions and ice spyders should pull them up

    neato. There needs a bit more ice planet builds!

    I like the multidirectional flight operations. It gives a unique feel to this build :)

    Though how does the pilot see through the opaque screen?

    I've actually done quite a lot of IP builds. Look under the title "frost Skorpions". It's the military wing of the IP2002

    That's a trans-orange screen.

    Take a look at my other MOCs and tell me what you think, please! Thanks!

    Revisit some of the great theme's from the 80s and 90s

    Blacktron 2, m-tron, IP:2002, exploriens, Unitron, spyrius, etc.

    The groundwork is there, the fanbase is there. Explore new possibilities with new pieces, maybe advance the storylines a few hundred years. It would be epic.

    When you are buying the sets, think about the color scheme you want to go with and pick up some elements you think will be useful in those colors. You might want to pay homage to an existing theme (like I did with IP:2002 and exploriens) or make something entirely new. But bricklink will be your friend when it comes to building your collection

    Very cool build.

    Nice work with the transdark blue and neon...

    Thanks, I'm staying mostly true to the exploriens color scheme, but giving the trans colors more of a spotlight. (I've got a ton and they really make weapons and canopies POP!)

    And I like your back wheel set up. Looks like it has some great playability.

    I've been really messing around with the different configurations available with treads and some imagination. The FROSTHAMMER has a nice little setup as well. Every new MOC I make with a tread, I try to utilize a configuration I haven't yet. Gives them a bit of zazz I think.

    Thanks! More to come. Hopefully sooner rather than later

    How about a small scout skimmer, maybe a remote operated drone or two? Good to see some old space stuff getting attention.

    I've actually made some small drone snipers. I'll take pics when I return to my Lego cave. I worked on a scout skimmer for the Frost Skorpions and was brainstorming about one for the Subzero Spyders today with a similar design.

    It has a great classic-feeling. :thumbup:

    Thanks, that's what I was going for. I'm trying to capture the spirit of exploriens and Ice Planet:2002, while giving them a more militaristic feel.

    Essentially the universe I'm creating is one set in the future after the Exploriens have settled on the planet once known as Krysto. The Subzero Spyders of House Trabal are forever locked in a never-ending struggle with the Frost Skorpions of House Thund, who arose from the Exploriens and IP:2002, respectively.

    Great work! I love the use of the round tire tread as a track, I've never considered that. Is it functional? Either way it looks great. I like the way you did the front supports as well. I'm brainstorming on some Ice planet single fig vehicles and this has given me some ideas. Thanks!
