6896 Celestial Forager Rebuild

[xenologer]

With all the recent talk of bringing back Space in LDD Factory, I just had to jump in.

Actually if you remember a long while back, I did this model before. But since then LDD has been upgraded and so I may as well redo it. Now taking advantage of the nicer brick selection:

Check out those Spacey wheels! I dont know why I didn't think of this sooner, turns out those new hubs are great for space after all.

Also, redid the color of certain parts, redid the loading ramp at the back(6896 had a magnetic arm). (yeah, the flatbed is non-studded, might be good/bad depending on how you do your space-crates)

If you recall Celestial Forager, it has steering via a hinge in the middle of the body.

This part is not available in LDD(or anywhere really), but here's my solution. Works great when I tried it out in real life; made of rel common parts too.

It's also cheaper than my other attempt.

Very nice indeed, and a neat solution for the steering! *y*
