Gyro Transducing
This is Ilya T‘s ‘Rover SCP-1’, and it’s apparently “equipped with a new kind of wheel consisting of an independent system of pneumatic shafts with fifth-generation gyro transducers”, which all sounds...

This marvellous-looking thing is a planetary rover by Flickr’s Jonas and it’s kicking off this year’s Febrovery. The online Lego Community loves a tenuously titled monthly challenge so we can expect a...

This spectacular creation was unearthed by The Brother Brick this week, and it might be the biggest thing to appear here this year. Built by Stephen (Chao) it is of course a scale replica of the...

Flickr’s Febrovery is in full swing, and this oddity by previous bloggee pirtatecox is one of our picks so far. There’s more to see of his twelve-wheeled Classic Space-esque rover via the link above.

Febrovery continues, and Flickr’s F@bz is the latest builder to get his rove on. Whatever this is, it looks rather wonderful, and there’s more too see at F@bz’ photo stream via the link above.

We’re pretty sure that over the years quite a few custodians of Volkswagen’s iconic Transporter have been on a trip to outta space. And then woken up spooning a stolen traffic cone and smelling of...

Febrovery continues apace, and this smiling classic spaceman looks like he’s got his blue-gloved grabs on a seriously fun rover. Billyburg is the builder, and with only one sixth of the Earth’s...
View ArticleHere Comes the Science Part
Febrovery creations are racking up on Flickr, and this one – suggested to us by a reader – is probably the most sciencey one to date. You can tell how far we are outside of our comfort zone by our use...

There’s only a week left of this year’s Febrovery (although you can of course build a rover any time you like), and here are two more of our favourites so far. Above, and resuscitating the classic...

But it is cool. F@bz‘s latest build has some seriously clever parts usage going on, with our favourites being the crane legs re-purposed as wings/cannon supports. See all the images on Flickr via the...

It seems like only last week that we posted a Lego lunar dune buggy. Probably because it was. Anyway, here’s another – this time in Volkswagen flavour – and you can see more courtesy of Jonas on Flickr.

Because space trucks need hood ornaments too. Priovit70 is the (possibly slightly unhinged) creator behind this intergalactic Peterbilt, and you can see more at the link to his photostream above.

‘Star Wars – The Force Awakens’ was a pretty good effort from Disney, but it lacked one of our favourite Star Wars-y things. No, not Natalie Portman (although it did indeed lack that), but the...

…Or something. As regular readers of this site will know, space is not one of our limited strong points, so we won’t try to describe this ‘Vespine Vic Viper’ by Flick’s billyburg. What we will say is...
View ArticleMini Rover
No, not a Rover Mini, but a mini rover. As is often the way with sci-fi we’re padding out this description to hide our incompetence with the subject matter, but if you’re into spacey things more than...

This funky Ice Planet rover from Flickr’s Chris Perron rides on some of the best brick-built wheels we’ve ever seen. And if you think rolling on wheels carved from solid ice is a ridiculous idea,...

Things appear to be getting serious in Classic Space. Gone are the days of smiling spacemen conducting peaceful exploration for purposes that no-one ever quite fathomed, today’s classic spaceman is...

OK, we might as well come clean. Our Elves did not find this creation, and thus they haven’t been fed, and thus they are sulking. The Brothers Brick uncovered this incredible motorised re-imagining of...

LEGO Space is getting weird. Previously peaceful Classic Spacemen are kicking ass and M-Tron has been supersized. No sooner had we pinched Wami Delthorn’s enormous reimagining of the classic 1993...
