M-Tron outpost and vehicles

[Big Sal]

Made a few months ago, this is my first decent attempt at an MOC since I came out of my dark ages. I dissasembled 6989 Mega Core Magnetizer, 6928 Particle Ionizer, 6877 Vector Detector, 6896 Celestial Forager and 6833 Beacon Tracer (all of which I'd recently bought on eBay) into a big pile and started building!

Some pics of the main outpost:

The crane, for loading and unloading from the dump trucks:

The control centre:

Close up on one of the gate turrets:

None shall pass!

One of the two identical dump trucks:

A spaceship:

A little refuelling vehicle built out of cool leftover pieces:

And a shot of everything together:

Any comments would be greatly appreciated (even if it's on the layout of the post rather than the model - I'm new here! )

Great work, better than some other M-tron MOCs I've seen, and overall, well done, both on the post and this superb MOC!

PS: Can I see a closeup of that mini-bot on the grate in the back please?

Thanks!

The minibot is just the one from Particle Ionizer (http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/?m=sp083) - I can put a close up if you really want, but can't take credit for it!

Wow! This is great! You're very skillful, considering how you transformed those sets into this awesome outpost! I do feel that the M-tron line of sets should have included an outpost (as well as all the other Space themes that didn't), so I'm glad to see yours, especially since I would say that it's up to Lego's design standards! Kudos, and thanks for sharing!

Not bad for your first go at MOCing. I LOVED M-Tron as a kid, I would like to get some old Space stuff again. I like all the vehicles made. The spaceship looks really good, and fits with the official M-Tron sets pretty well.

Nice job making a MOC in the same style as the theme! I like the control center, the big green windshield works nicely there

The tires for the pillars of the outpost arr great! Nice work

Nice MOC!

I like how much you were able to do with just a handful of sets!

Using the wheels as pillars I thought was particularly inventive.

Call me a sucker for movie references, but the None Shall Pass laser turrets was my favourite part.

And the little buggy with the dumpster in the back was nifty too!

Though poor M-Tron guys... you couldn't build them an Air Lock for they hang out without their suits on?
