Entry # 19: Star builders
My theme is Star Builders. This theme is space construction; these are the vehicles they use to build those asteroid cities we saw in Space Police. I had always wondered how those cities got there, so I figured I'd make a theme out of the heavy equipment used to make them.
Total parts in theme:1277
Set 1: Planetoid Hauler, 308 pieces. The back of it dumps sideways and the cover opens on hinges. This dump truck is used to transport rock and raw materials to and from work sites in the asteroid belt.

Set 2: Asteroid Crawler, 672 pieces. This excavator is used to do the heavy digging in space job sites. Its four legs are good for moving around on all terrains, and its clawed feet can hold on to even the most extreme terrain.

Set 3: Comet Crane, 305 pieces. This crane is used to transport rocks, building materials, and other large items around job sites. The ship's thrusters can rotate 180 degrees to provide downward thrust to help move heavy items.
