I wanted to explore an alternative to a powered train by designing a booster rail for coaster tracks. I don't think I've seen anyone try this approach before. What do you think?

Got the red pieces in my last PaB online order, what role would the red astronaut serve?

I've been working on a central hub for my City Spacebase, and this is still very much a WIP.

The central area of the build is intentionally left completely open for now. This is where I want to start the large crane, which will become a major feature of the spacebase and help fill out the center of the build.

The overall color palette still needs some adjusting too. I'd like to work in more Reddish Orange and Sand Blue to add some contrast and tie the different sections together.

Still a lot to build, but I'm liking the direction so far!

Been needing more 8x8 Dark Tan for my Spacebase MILS plates.

Couldn't pass up on the 2x4 White Tiles, so I had to make a loading jig to maximize the part count. 😅

Peak Pick-a-Brick efficiency.

Was going through some old lego from when I was a kid looking for the spaceman I remembered playing with. The only pieces I could find were a set of legs, torso, head, and helmet, all completely covered in black Sharpie.

Figured I had nothing to lose, so I started cleaning them with rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. Pretty cool seeing the space logo reveal itself after being hidden for 30+ years.

Really wish I'd taken pictures before cleaning the helmet, legs and and front of the torso. It was even worse than it looks in the last photo.

Only missing two parts from the set, the front cone and control console.

After posting my Shell-Walker, a few people encouraged me to take a shot at the Sawtooth, so I had to give it a try.

For this one, I wanted to take the Sawtooth in a different direction. The original design is pretty aggressive, so I wanted to tone that down and make it feel less like a combat machine and more like a robotic exploration companion.

The biggest inspiration was AMEE from Red Planet. I liked the idea of an advanced exploration robot with a more canine-like silhouette, something that could scout alien terrain, assist a crew, and still feel at home in a classic space setting.

AMEE also had a detachable drone, so I added one of my own using the drone from the Interstellar Spaceship (60430). It felt like a perfect fit and adds a little more functionality to the design.

Like the Shell-Walker, this is mostly a color and style transformation with a few small modifications to make it fit the LEGO City Space theme.

Really happy with how this one came together. Thanks to everyone who convinced me to build it!

Apparently unibricks hasn’t been totally accurate lately but it’s probably at least close

Just saw the Horizon Adventures Shell-Walker (77037) on discount and immediately knew I had to make a version for the theme.

The Shell-Walker has always reminded me of the Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell, so it seemed like a perfect fit as a City Space robot helper.

It's mostly a color swap with a few minor modifications to better match the aesthetic. Nothing too elaborate, just a fun afternoon project that I think turned out pretty well!
