Hello, I reccently rediscovered some of my old Tente sets hidden away, and decided to reinterpreted as Neo-Classic Space. Tente was a construction toy that was produced in Spain from 1972 to 1993. It felt much more brittle than LEGO and pieces snapped easily, however in the 80's, when I was spending long summers in Spain and was right in the target age group, they made some interesting sets (especially space themed), and I managed to collect a few. So far I've rebuilt 4 of the 5 space themed sets I have, Tente went in for a lot more domed screens than LEGO and had some interesting pieces that LEGO don't do, so a number of the sets have been changed significantly, but that was partly the point. I'd be interested to know if anyone else had Tente and if you've ever rebuilt them in LEGO. The original names of the sets are, from top to bottom, Space Patrol, Vigilantic, Pegasus and Krang, the orignial sets can be seen here: http://www.latentete.../?serie=Compact The whole Tente range is worth checking out; the best archieve site I can find is www.latenteteca.com/

Whipped this lil' beauty together within the space of a couple of hours to test my leg-building skills, and I'm pretty pleased with the result. More images on my Flickr. Enjoy!

Do you ever have that feeling, like you just can't lift all of those heavy pallets with your own two arms? Your inter-galactic shipping business starting to stack up on you? If so, then no more worries - I present to you, the Mk. IV Strongman heavy loadlifter mech, capable of lifting up to 90 Zonian tons(for all of you androids, that's 001100010011000100110000 Gixxilian Primal tons). Tired of how your mech's pinchers or claws are always denting your space pallets, leading you to lose valuable customers? If so, then this mech was made just for you, with forks carefully crafted so as to be able to pick up even the strangest of deliveries. Tired of how, even if you get your current mech to carry something, it falls over as soon as it takes its first step? No worries - the Mk. IV Strongman is built just for you! With a carefully designed counterbalance, and feet designed with the latest tech in interior gyroscopes, you couldn't tip this mech if you tried! Now, just look at that reach, and tell us, are you going to be able to find that on any of the latest competing models? Of course not! Just watch it streeeeeeetch those pneumatics! And if you're still not satisfied, for a limited time, we're offering this set of fifty-year warrented Hypaxxian steak knives for free in addition! Just don't go cutting through any hulls on us!
