Hey gang, after spending longer on this MOC, calender wise, than any other
in quite a while, and with plenty of stopping and restarting, I finally
finished and hereby present my latest creation. It is called the Asimov
Terrestrial Explorer.
Check it out in the ground section.
Cheers
Adrian

WOW! Now this is a beautiful model! ;-)
I simply *love* the clean design Adrian! And the tracks look very cool; better
than wheels. The interior is excellent, as well as the overall colour scheme. I
commend you for using only one trans colour for the canopies and windows; this
makes the model look more "uniform".
Again, great job Adrian, this is one of the best land exploration vehicles I
have ever seen; right along with [1] Terry Keller's ULV-017!
Mladen Pejic <-- Very impressed!

That was one of the toughest things about this model, using my admittedly
limited supply of trans blue pieces to open things up. I'm particularly
pleased with the way the cockpit turned out. I had also thought about using
a secondary color in the body, but then thought that if NASA had designed
it, they wouldn't be pinstriping the thing. Thus the smooth, clean,
laboratory-esque look of it.

Now that's a neat vehicle. I haven't seen it in a while, and had forgotten
it was around :)
Thanks for the compliments

Dude. Way cool.
That's all I have to say about that.

Adrian,
Great craft, looking at your SNOT building techniques I can understand why
it would take you so long. I liked seeing the row of empty helmets, too,
people seem to forget about space suit storage in their creations.
Thanks,
George

Thanks. Let me tell you, 1x1 technic beams are a godsend when you want to
do stuff like the canopy over the cockpit :)
The helmet storage one of those features that just sort of blossomed into
form after I'd put that wall up. I saw this big empty wall and knew
something had to go there. Why not put the helmets there? Since there'd be
no reason for the crew to wear their helmets indoors, they had to go somewhere.

Thanks. Not too many people seem to build larger scale ground based
vehicles. When most people want to build some giant space thing, they
typically go the spaceship route (as the Galactic Shipyard shows quite
dramatically). I wonder if someone should have a ground-based space vehicle
contest... Not me, of course, I'd rather build than administer a contest :)

Very cool, Adrian.
It takes me back to my youth when I would just stare at the cover of a
sci-fi book with some fantastic artwork and daydream... Who am I kidding? I
still do that.
Treads = Nifty neato
White color scheme = Very nice
Size = Awesome

Wow, very cool. I like big rover-type things :-) The overall size, shape, &
color scheme is impressive, as are nifty details like the conference table,
shower door, reactor room, and access ladder.
Again, nice work!
