Posted January 27, 20232 yr Hi, this is my entry to the Classic Space Era Spaceship Contest. The spaceship is about 39 studs long (including the antennas) and about 38 studs wide. The Beryllium Buzzard is a prospecting vessel in charge of mapping remote celestial bodys, focussing on deposits of natural resources. The secondary vehicle is a Space ArachnoMobil, perfect for excursions on raw surfaces of asteroids, moons and uninhabited planets. It can be hung up magnetically at the ship’s middle section. The front section contains two decks: Pilot’s and navigator’s seats on the upper deck, scientific workstations and vidiyo communication on the lower deck. The upper deck is connected by clips and can be removed: The crew from left to right: Yeboah: Pilot, adrenaline, music. She gets you safely to every imaginable unstable dusty rock out there. And picks you up performing the most dramatic flight maneuver you’ve ever seen. Khan: Captain, communication, coffee. Like his infamous ancestor, he leads the crew with a rough hand and great passion. He often needs his diplomatic skills, e. g. when local leaders lay claim on "their" asteroid fields. Kowalski: Security, navigation. He usually serves as copilot and navigator. Always keeps a nervous eye on the surroundings. Da Silva: Science, tech, outdoors. She does all the cool spacewalks, rides the ArachnoMobil and analyzes the dust samples. Outsiders think her job is the best one. You might wonder, why the ship contains 5 workstations, while there are only 4 crew members. The sad truth is that I only have 4 M:tron-minifigs Crewman Five tragically died on the latest outdoor mission, just to reinforce the situation’s hazardousness ;P Thanks for reading/watching! I hope you like this little exploration ship :) Edited January 28, 20232 yr by Alpha Bernini
January 28, 20232 yr Love the shaping of this! It's so dynamic and interesting to look at - so many nice little details.

January 30, 20232 yr Looks like a ship that could fly straight out of the Steredenn video game, awesome
January 30, 20232 yr White stripe you made, in her red hull looks impressive. also I think her bow design looks cool, compact good job
January 30, 20232 yr I love this model but surely promoting just this one on the front page when it’s part of an ongoing competition is wrong?

It's at least the third entry we've put on the frontpage, and the contest runs for another nearly three weeks. Drives interest in and exposure for the contest in general, which is good for all the entries. That's the aim, anyway.

January 30, 20232 yr Interesting shape. From the first picture, the top view, I was expecting a sleek fighter like craft. I was presently surprised. Good M-Tron ship.

Thank you, I’m happy you like my ship :) Although I’m personally happy that my moc got featured on the front page, I understand your thought that this might be unfair, as long as the contest is open.

I’m happy you like my ship and also the ArachnoMobil :) On 2/12/2023 at 7:34 PM, JulianH said: Very cool design and great story telling in the pictures! 23 hours ago, EamonnMR said: This chunky utilitarian craft really nails what M-Tron is about, great job! Thank you :)
February 22, 20232 yr Great amount of interior space in this impressive craft! Your combination of windscreens for the main canopy looks terrific, as do the chunky intakes. Magnets are always the ultimate for cargo transport in my mind, and the arachnomobil is a clever twist on the usual ground vehicles Edited February 22, 20232 yr by soccerkid6
