The Blue Belle Space Patroller, or just “Belle” for short, is perfect for
extraplanetary excursions from the ol’ moon ranch or Tritonian ice castle. She
comfortably seats two, and can easily carry the goods for a nice Martian picnic,
cometary ski-fest or even a nature photography outing on the extraordinary world
of Rainbow’s Gold. This space ship has a nice, trans-red smile, with big,
friendly-eye windscreens--she tends to bring cheer wherever she goes:
The “Space Bunny” serves as the ship’s maintenance robot, pilot, cook and
all-around best friend. The Space Bunny’s laser eyes are useful for fending off
meteoroid strikes, various extra-terrestrial vermin and instantly boiling water
for tea. As the above photo was taken, Princess of Triton, Autumn Dawn, to the
right, said, “This solar wind sure is mussing up my hare!” These bunnies are
very tolerant.
Below, some of the Belle’s details are revealed. She has a powerful, ruddy
headlamp to help the vehicle “see,” including in the infrared. Also bright in
the visible spectrum, the light can be quite useful to the occupants, especially
on low-flying nighttime excursions.
An interior detail reveals the light switch, which is built right into the dash.
The seats look a bit Spartan, but they accommodate long, flowing dresses real
well. Interior storage is located behind the seats. A large bank of computers
provides instant information from the Belle’s myriad sensors. Plus, the
computers also serve as the backup pilot in case something happens to the
ever-vigilant Space Bunny. The reliability of this ship’s automation is such
that hand controls are optional. The center console is a perfect place to keep
the essentials, such as a cup of hot chocolate, gems and kitty chow.
This ship was inspired by my daughter, who has a bit of a Belville collection.

The Belle will probably visit Brickfest 2007.
Enjoy & have a great day!
-best,
Wolf

| (...) I like this very much. It is always a pleasure to so see that those Belville-figures can have a far better role within MOC-building than they have so far. I much prefer Bel-figs to their little counterparts (minifigs) because the scale is (...) (17 years ago, 4-Mar-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| This is seriously awesome! One of the most creative and unorthodox ideas I've ever seen. Good job with the lighting, but what made me laugh the most was the "cybernetic space bunny." (17 years ago, 4-Mar-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
