    Hitori Gotou or 'Bocchi' from the anime Bocchi the Rock. -- I always wanted to make some Chibi figures with Lego like those made by https://www.flickr.com/photos/101845027@N03 Javier Soravilla or https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikevd/ Mike Dung, but seeing that https://www.flickr.com/photos/ted_andes Ted Andes also made some, Chisato and Takina, recently made me want to also finally give it a try. I borrowed some building techniques of those mentioned earlier and used the instructions of Javier Soravilla: https://flic.kr/p/2nUv88W for the frame of the figure. -- For this Chibi figure I had to get creative, I wanted to make Hitori Gotou, but in the show she's mostly wearing pink and her hair is also pink. I wanted to distinguish between the two. So I used "Paradisa" Pink for her body, which severely limits the available pieces and Bright Pink for her hair. Ofcourse I can't forget to include the guitar and an amplifier, I even included a distortion ds2, if you where wondering what that orange thing was. Bocchi by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Thanks for looking, C&C always welcome.

    [MOC] Sea Flap Flap

    the Inventor replied to Sebeus I's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes

    Really nice small submersible, I especially like that cockpit design, which I also want to try sometimes and the red mudguards on both side to get a really nice and smooth look of those parts next to the cockpit. Indeed, the lanterns could use some upgrade like you said it yourself, they look a bit too old fashioned. When using trans-green, neon yellow it looks more like a small Atlantis sub then M-Tron though.

    @Feuer Zug Thank you. -- Hello, I am Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). Yesterday was the last day of FebRovery. Today, I have arranged that all rovers and drivers that I have interviewed come together. It was a bit difficult to get everyone in the same shot though. If you have missed some, be sure to take a closer look at all rovers. Thank you for watching and following me last month. I hope you enjoyed my stories and interviews and don't forget to subscribe and stay up to date with my latest discoveries, and follow me @NedIsTheBest.meta3.moon2be. Until we meet again. Ned out.

    @Umbra-Manis Thank you, yeah it was some kind of experiment with colours, but I really like the result. Day 28: Hello, I am Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC) sponsored by SynTron Heavy Industries. It's the end of the month already, I think I have time for one more rover, today I found some Chromians from Kandor-III (see:https://flic.kr/p/2mXer1J Crab fishing on Kandor-III and thehttps://flic.kr/p/2n3SJPu Murasaki-II from last year) They made a huge profit of selling those crabs it seems, seeing as they arrived in SynTron Heavy Industries (based on Earth since 2146) latest model. This Murasaki Mark-V is even larger than last years top model. The six wheeled drive provides even better traction than the Murasaki-II. The cockpit is still made from a special transparent solar panel, to make sure your rover is never without power. This new custom Mark-V version of the rover features a lot of extra chrome details, specially made for the Chromians. I'll continue the report after the brake, sponsored by SynTron Heavy Industries. -- Music of the commercial starts. Buy SynTron Heavy Industries Murasaki Mark-V, the standard version is for sale this summer, starting prices from 1.298.765.432,10 credits (no Tax included, Dropship delivery available), for sale at your nearest dealer. Fine print: Dropship delivery will cost extra. Commercial ends. FebRovery 2023 - 28 (Part 1) by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Welcome back. this is Ned and you're still watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC) sponsored by SynTron Heavy Industries. The Chromians special Murasaki Mark V even features a small rover compartment, to store your shopping rover for when the Mark V is too big to enter the supermarket. Can you please stop trying to sell me those crabs, I'm trying to finish this report and we are still filming. The small rover also has six wheel drive, on the back is a small storage compartment for various stuff. While docked it recharges, and can be operational for 24 hours continuous driving, at default speed settings. A final recap episode will be delivered right here on this channel, tomorrow, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe, and follow me @NedIsTheBest.meta3.moon2be.

    @Feuer Zug Thank you, and sadly no hover mode, but that is an interesting idea. Day 27: Hello, I am Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). I was looking around to find a new rover for today, and found this striking coloured rover. It's colour scheme makes it easy to spot, with it's trans neon orange and teal. These orange coloured astronauts are using this rover. Can you tell me something about it's purpose? Orange astronaut: 'It's a prototype, specially build for reconnaissance on Xanad II, it's colours are specially designed so it isn't noticed by the native lifeforms on that planet, you could say it's some kind of stealth.' Ok, thanks for the clarification, it's obvious it does not work here. The cabin has plenty of room for the astronauts, and the back can be refitted for the specific mission, extra computers and sensors, or even a small rover.

    Day 26: Hello, I am Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). Today I found out that you shouldn't be speeding in the domed cities on the moon, because the space police have a new toy. This prototype NCSP - Spectre police car, it can pursuit even the fastest rover on Futuron base Alpha-5. Seating two police officers, with room in the back for more, equipment or even a small time criminal. The really bad boys are transported with other vehicles, and this one is mainly used for rapid response inside the cities. For outside and off road, you better take the: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2kBgqMM" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Space Police fast pursuit rover.</a> Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe, and follow me @NedIsTheBest.meta3.moon2be. FebRovery 2023 - 26 by Ids de Jong, on Flickr NCSP Spectre by Ids de Jong, on Flickr -- I really wanted to make another Space Police vehicle this year, but didn't have an idea yet. When I received those trans-red windscreens on friday I thought they would look cool on a SP vehicle. So I made this one, although the boxy shaped rover looks actually a bit more like a cyberpunk car than a rover. But I still like it, and Cyberpunk cars is something I want to try building for my next project anyway, so it's a good practice.

    Day 25: Hello, I am Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). We are nearing the end of the month, this time I found a little and agile Unitron rover. It looks like the smaller cousin of the mobile observation rover 'Zenith', see: https://flic.kr/p/2n2ZUFs It fits one, and has plenty of space inside the cockpit, the small rover is equipped with lots of sensors and the handling is really great thanks to the suspension and front and back steering.

    Day 24: Hello, here's Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). Today I found this oddly shaped training rover, the new recruit is following the instructions of the instructor, who can, if needed also control the rover. It looks like he has a though time with it. or would all those cameras make him nervous. Basic sensors are also added to the rover so the recruit can also train with those.

    Day 23: Hello, I'm Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). I'm here again with the previous Blacktron 2 guy, in his small signal tracker rover. Although I now also spotted a rather large rover with some rockets. This Super Secret Spy Satellite Launcher or SSSSL rover, can launch various spy satellites in orbit. Apparently it uses stolen Ice Planet tech in those satellites. or so I'm told by various reliable sources. I don't think they like what I'm saying though, I get some strange looks, but I'm neutral so I should be safe, right? But to be sure, I should probably just leave as soon as possible, see you tomorrow. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe, and follow me @NedIsTheBest.meta3.moon2be.

    @danth Thanks. @BJE_2358 Thank you, Maybe I'll make some more, and maybe some other people can also build in this colour sheme. Day 22: Hello, I'm Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC) sponsored by AstroTech. After the rover transporting questionable liquid from the other day, I found a nice NCS rover made by AstroTech. The ATR (Astronaut Transport Rover) V6 designers clearly were inspired by a prototype from the nineties on Earth, I believe it was called a Renault Racoon. It has room for one astronaut, that can travel with great comfort over the moon surface with it's all wheel drive (apparently you can fit more, but then it no longer is quite as comfortable). All safeties and basic sensors are also fitted on this luxury rover. The included batteries make this rover quite heavy, but can last for a good while, so don't be afraid to drive around for a couple of days. Do I sound like a sales person now?

    Day 21: Hello, I'm Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). After my encounter with the Blacktron signal tracker yesterday, I wandered about and before I knew it I found an interesting rover. This special liquid delivery rover can be spotted from afar, with it's bold yellow and red checkered pattern. The driver has a good view, positioned above the precious cargo. What kind of liquid is being transported was kept a secret though, so I am afraid I can't tell you more, the driver didn't know either.

    Day 20: Hello, I'm Ned and you're watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC) again. I'm here with a local Blacktron 2 guy, in his small signal tracker rover. Roving around moon bases, tracking signals. It is also equipped with two small robo arms to disable security stuff or something like that. The rover has an extremely short turning circle and can get away fast if detected, although it is really small so you don't detect it that fast anyway. It is also easily hidden behind something, or stuffed in a cargo transport. This was our short description of this rover, see you tomorrow.

    @Professor Thaum Thank you. Day 19: Hello, I'm Ned and you're still watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). After receiving some reliable info about the Zorg Empire whereabouts, I set out to find them (see also: day 8). So today I found myself between some Zorg Empire Shock-troopers. They aren't very talkative though. And some kind of rover, the ZORG Devastator 3, it certainly looks very frightening and powerful with all those arms, rocket launchers, and other armaments. I am not sure those Suntron guys stand a chance against this. I hear a lot of other Zorg Empire machines are coming this way, maybe I can better leave as soon as possible.

    Day 18: Hello, I'm Ned and you're still watching the Trans Galactic Info Channel (TGIC). Today I found the most practical rover ever, with steering on both sides of the vehicle, to make extra sharp curves, which could be handy with such a long vehicle.. And a central communication console in the middle. So, can you tell me anything about this one? Brown spaceman: "Yes, the central console is also used to move the vehicle, it can power the motors left or right of the console." You mean, the ones who have a steering wheel cannot drive the vehicle alone? Brown spaceman: "You are correct." It sounds less practical by the minute. Brown spaceman: "You need some good teamwork for this rover." Hmm, OK then..., let's move on, see you tomorrow.

It's definitely icy around here, let me take a look at this rover. The mobile lab, Triton IV, is used to gather crystal info and transport the crew to remote locations to gather resources and perform research. The cockpit has room for two, a driver and a navigator. On the top is a look out post and with some sensors to perform measurements. The inside compartment can be sealed with the hatches, located on both sides.
