I have started to document what started out as fun and ended up as a florecent orange obsession. I've put together the Ice Planet Moonbase section 1 than followed it with some support vehicles, ships, speeders, mechs, giants and rockets (for (...)

(...) Gotta love those wheels! For some reason this part of the moonbase really struck my fancy. I love the wheel design and how it coordinates with that huge orange cockpit. Great work!! ~Mike (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Whoa! That IS a lot of Trans-Fluoro Orange! The sheer enormity of your TFO collection gives this one, on a scale of 1 to .Space, a two-thumbs-up! I have fond memories of the Ice Planet line because it was the on the trailing end of what some (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

Awesome! And by "awesome," I mean totally sweet. Is that a blue stiffy MF torso on the top of mvc-014s.jpg? Most people just make 1 or maybe 2 MOC's for a blast-from-the-past theme. You've got a whole base. You rock. David "Fuzzy" Gregory (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) This is my favorite! It looks like the MCM, but has a good ice-y feel to it. The ICE SAT VV is somewhat less ice-y, because of the black wheels. As I recall, all wheels on the original ice planet theme were white. Anyways: great job and keep (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

Patrick, Wow wow wow. What a lot of Ice Planet goodness! I especially like the IG V--the use of the meteor tops is really excellent, I agree. The Martian torsos on the feet are also a great use of the part. The Ice Sat VV is another of my (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I came out of my dark age just as IP2002 was disappearing from stores so it became the "lost theme" for me and I had to have it. I do alot of searches on Ebay for 'orange' and have been stockpiling TFO for some time now. I'm glad you like what (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I used up all the lids I had on the Mammoth, so a compromise had to be made. If the MCM size wheels were available in white they woud be on that baby. I thought it would work but I agree, it's not icey enough. Thanks for the comments. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
