Posted October 29, 20204 yr When the Neo Classic Space Federation puts out a galaxy-wide call to take part in a podrace on the Moon, the call is answered by the Blacktron Future Generation. Although Benny's racer, 'LL-UC45' uses cutting edge tech, the Future Generations 'WhiteGilled BlackFish' has never lost a race. The stage is set for a white-knuckle showdown as these old foes race each other across the dusty plains of the Lunar surface. A month to design and build. 3,000 pieces (ish, don't know wasn't keeping count) and a lot of left over discarded bricks, my Star Wars/Classic Space mashup moc is done.

October 29, 20204 yr Now this is some serious pod racing. I esp. like the Nautilesque Blacktron model. Nicely done.
October 29, 20204 yr That's a fantastic idea! Love the blacktron podracer and the landscaping. Looks excellent, great job!

The entire thing from the movie to TLGs models, particularly 7171, to your very own racers - incredible. They are really, really cool. And superb builds. The lunar surface, colors, the shapes, the faces ... won-der-ful. Spoiler Close the visors though, surface pressure on the moon is really low - and the engines need to run at almost zero surface pressure. I guess these fans are some lunar dust collecting devices, turning them into super fuel - and the "bad" black one is doing something entirely different ... maybe even from a time long ago? No - no - SW here this is authentic SPACE OPERA! Congratulations! Best, Thorsten Edited October 29, 20204 yr by Toastie

Someone else noted an Atlantis connection in that racer. I hadn’t thought of that but I see it now! :) On 10/29/2020 at 1:40 PM, JintaiZ said: Amazing build! And it's classic space!!! Thanks, and yes. Yes it is! On 10/29/2020 at 8:40 PM, The Neighborhood Merchant said: That's a fantastic idea! Love the blacktron podracer and the landscaping. Looks excellent, great job! Thanks, I’d like to say I’m the first to think of making a Classic Space podracer but alas I am not. Though I don’t think it’s been done to this scale or with two racing against each other. Come to think of it, I don’t think anyone has made a Blacktron podracer, though I’m probably wrong on that one too. On 10/29/2020 at 9:51 PM, Toastie said: Wow. I love podracers.

As for their visors, these guys are the toughest spacemen in the universe, they don’t need visors ;) On 10/30/2020 at 6:13 AM, Ragana9289 said: Amazing build!

October 31, 20204 yr Nice racers, but I have to admit I was more attracted to the surface than the racers.
