LBaixinho Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Here's my last MOC. Mars Rover 01 by Luis Baixinho, on Flickr It is a small exploration rover. It has some features like the robotic arm, steerable lights, interior access, engine access, etc. Hope you like it.

azog Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 That is a really nice build! I love how you used that cockpit piece Vehicles like this is what I wish Lego would produce in their sets instead of the oversized rovers we have been getting. Quote
Farseer Petriel Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I like this rover! It combines some old Life on Mars feel with modern details. And thumbs up for the Vitruvian Minifigure! Quote

The cockpit and an image from a boardgame (here) was the main starting points of this MOC. Normally I build small things, maybe because i loved to play LEGO in the 80s :D 23 minutes ago, Farseer Petriel said: I like this rover! It combines some old Life on Mars feel with modern details.

SNIPE Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I belive there is a duplo tyre with the same tread pattern that fits over any round 4x4 brick/rim. but anyhow, nice model. Quote

Jerry McGlade Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I really enjoy the smoothness of the build! Great job! Quote

RosehipDeity Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 This is definitely a better use of the cockpit piece from the most recent space shuttle set, and there are so many fine details for a surprisingly small build. Are you planning on doing more mars-based builds? Quote

The cockpit part appears in this set: 60225: Rover Testing Drive I definitely want to do more MOCs on this theme (I even have several Vitruvian tiles), however at this moment I don't have anything planned.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Not too complex but of great visual impact! Lovely MOC! Quote

I'm trying build some vehicles and structures with the Vitruvian logo. Oh, nice to see another LoM fan here! I liked this theme when I was a child, but obtained some sets only as an AFOL. I collected all the Martians but sadly I don't have human sets except for a small rover. Do you plan to build something Martian? Their style is a bit weird but charming. Quote
LBaixinho Posted July 20, 2020 Author Posted July 20, 2020 Build something Martian? Humm, I had never thought about it. But it is still an interesting suggestion. Mainly because it could go in unconventional ways, something like the Bradbury's Martian Chronicles. Quote
ExplorienVagabond Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 That's fantastic. This line/theme is what got me back into Lego. Quote
