    That looks great! The red color is really quite striking when built in this modern style.

    All I've seen is speculation and wishful thinking. Not criticizing that. This is the place for speculation and wishful thinking. But those things don't equal "news."

    I love this! The flying machine is particularly great.

    I've been rebuilding lots of my old late 80s, early 90s space sets lately and I share your frustration when it comes to missing pieces. My approach though is that I try and put together a complete inventory of a set before I attempt to build it. I create a wishlist on Bricklink with the set inventory and mark down which Items I have and remove them from the list. Then I'm left with a parts lists of what I'm missing, which I can then place an order for. I try and do this with several sets or other projects at once for efficiency.

    Great design. Definitely one that I would pick up. Any chance of including pictures of the interior?

    It’s not exactly Classic Space, but it’s adjacent. There’s nothing I want more than remakes and new sets in the Ice Planet 2002 theme. I have dreams about it. Often.

    Maybe. I do have one more Hideout set, but I was hoping to leave it unopened. I'm not sure the river crossing set is quite as iconic as these three though, and as you said I'm not sure how I would do the rope bridge. If inspiration strikes, I might try and tackle it. But probably not.

    I guess I took the approach that this is sort of a marsh or swamp area and not a particularly deep river.

    I might modify the back so that it's not quire as wide. I don't mind that it's plan, since that matches the original, but it does seem wider than it should be. I'm going to have to consider making some changes to make the back more narrow. I kind of felt that the jail cell was always a bit half-baked, with it only being three bricks tall and just open to the air above. I opted not to include it and to focus on making two complete floors with room for a ladder.

    The Pink astronaut is clearly a spaceman who accidentally laundered his white uniform in the same load as the red astronaut's uniform.

    If I had the bricks on hand, I definitely would have used the lighter colored dark azure rounded plates to substitute for the baseplate. That would have really helped give it a more modern, up to date look. I wanted to use what I had on hand so that I could build it now rather than waiting on parts from bricklink though, and I had this perfectly good blue baseplate still in the shrink wrap that I finally found a reason to open and use.

    I created a separate thread to show this off but I wanted to share it here too. I built this using two of the Forest Hideout sets along with a bunch of other bricks from my stockpile. I'm really happy with how it turned out. More pictures are available here: https://imgur.com/a/DfEn1Ji

    I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up a couple of extras of the Forest Hideout set and I used them to build updated versions of other classic Forestmen sets. My goal was to retain the same design style and palette, use mostly just the included bricks for the tree elements of those sets, and supplement the other castle parts based on currently available parts that were in my existing stockpile. Here is the Forestmen's River Fortress, which I just completed today. I'm particularly proud of the tree roots and the working gate. More images are available here: https://imgur.com/a/DfEn1Ji Here is the Camouflaged Outpost. I was able to keep this one fairly close to the footprint and dimensions of the original, just like with the Forest Hideout set. More images are available here: https://imgur.com/a/Obh3wUs

    I don't know if there's any significance to the frog. I think it was just a fun thing to include in that space that would otherwise be unused and hidden most of the time. The drum and drumsticks are pictures in one of the promotional images of the set that I've seen before. I'm sure that it's there to allow another figure to accompany the forest man with the lute.

    That's a question a lot of folks have asked, but I haven't seen any convincing answers. This seems to have a lot of folks scratching their heads.
