 | | 12 x 886 Space Buggy
|
| With next year being the 25 anniversary of Lego Space I wanted to build a tribute to this great theme. I chose one of the original Classic Space sets, the 886 Space Buggy and built it 12 times larger. See it at my first MOCpages page: (URL) must say (...)

| That is INCREDIBLE! I love that way that each giant piece is a separate part. The giant "mini"fig alone would be great. Combined with the buggy, it's just awesome. (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(URL) one time violation of the shoebox rule (grr) was well worth it. :) Calum (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Wow, this is supremely cool. I love how every brick has all of its details shown built in, like the studs and the stud holes on the undersides of each brick, and your minifig is very well done indeed. Adrian (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Derek: At dinner when you showed everybody your big set, I will begrudgingly admit that it was kind-a cool. good job. although a robot would have been a better use for those gears.

| (...) The three sets I considered for this project were 885, 886 and 889. I thought it would be fun to build the radar dish in the 889. My Star Destroyer recently meet its doom, so I definitely had the gray plates available to build it. But as a set (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Derek, Amazing creation. Any one of your oversized pieces is a great sculpture in and of itself. Together they leave me speechless. Bruce (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

He also worked in gearing for the arms and legs. From (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Personally I was inspired when I saw someone's else pile of scaled up bricks. Scale 10 seems to be the standard. I've also done some 2x scale up's of a few sets, just to get in the hang of thinking "upscale". (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm very interesting in seeing some ideas on rebuilding the minifig sculpture to include functional arms and legs. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
