Odysseus' Explorer

[xwingyoda]

Guys, here is the "Rover" of Team Odysseus !!!!

This retro feel rover has the distinctive color pattern of Team Odysseus: white and orange and a big front bubble cokpit.

It has weaponry in the case of bad encounters during its missions (top and side blaster phasers and side proton missiles). However its mission is a discovery mission.

It can fly small distances (over a creater...), hence its two small side engines and side wings. It has big treads to conquer surfaces "default".

It has a long back hatch capable of holding several things such as the "planet collection crate, or PCC" or its two recon droids (recon bot 1 and 2), plus a top hatch which can hold a missile or recon drone (not yet built).

Comments are always welcome guys !!!! Greetings from Team Odysseus ;) Enjoy !!!

I will upload my Brickshelf gallery this thursday.

very nice, yoda :oo

is there an interior in the rover as well?

[Jipay]

Really nice creation ! You are doing better and better. Are you planing to make a huge ship that could contain all your smaller creations ? :)

[xwingyoda]

Tks Jipay and Sne for your kind words *satis*

Jipay,

I don't think I'll ever build a HUGE ship capable of containing the Concept Odysseus, the rover and the bigger Odysseus ship !!!

However, I might one of these days build a big base for Team Odysseus !!!!!

Sne,

Since its a kind of retro rover, the interior is really simple !!!!

Behind the cokpit, where are the top blasters, there is an opening trap door that reveals either a missile or a recon drone !!

Nonetheless here is a pic of tye cokpitit:

Oh Master Yoda this brings me back warm fuzzy feeling of the 80's Space Theme, but with a few modern twists... They just don't make em like this anymore... :'(

Another nice ship (vehicle ;)) Yoda!

This, once again, really fits in with the others. I like how you have used the same cockpit again, it works and looks good (even if it doesn't quite fit! :P)

I agree with Phes that it has a old space kinda feeling to it. The greeblie guns and radar looks neat and I like the treads.. very practical!

The back of the ship looks brilliant! The spoilers, the wedges and the slopes all go together well.

I thought that the seat inside faced the wrong way, but then I saw it was on a turntable, another neat detail.

And what can I say about the recon bots?! How cute! :') Much better than the sandcrawler droids! ;)

Another nice model, *waiting impatiently for the rest*

Jon.
