    Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
   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)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) The mammoth started in my mind's eye as a vehicle that would attach to a moonbase door. It ended up too short but I like the end result. Thanks, Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Andrew Engstrom
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Mark Sandlin
     (...) I was just admiring this stuff on Brickshelf. (...) This is my favorite. The wheels look awesome and I love how the crew can exit from the drop-down ladder. I really like the Flare as well. -Grand Admiral .space Curator (URL) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) Praise from the Admiral! Thank you, sir. My favorite space set has got to be the M-tron Mega Core Magnetizer. So that was the seed to this design. I thought there needed to be more wheeled vehicles in space with really big wheels. And the (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —David Gregory
     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)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) Indeed, it is a stiffy. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Jonathan Wilson
     Way Cool. I LOVE Ice Planet. I recon Ice Planet was the last good space theme. (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)

     (...) I thought Exploriens were pretty cool. But Deep Freeze Defender(6973) kicks Explorien Starships(6982) @$$. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Two words: "Insanely great!" (1) Spotlighted. And thanks for sharing. Keep cool, man.(2) 1 - with apologies to Steve Jobs 2 - that won't be hard for you with all that IP around. ++Lar (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) Thanks, My wife would definitely concure about the insane part. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Joe Meno
     (...) I spotted this some time ago and was wondering where it was all leading to... wowzers! (...) Whoa! Way cool! And a great use for the lids! (...) Neat! I like how the missles are swung out to the launch pads, as it's a different approach from (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) And to think you had a large part to play in all this when you sold me the large grey baseplate at brickfest. I'm glad that you recognize a signature style in my creations. I think its an extra special MOC that shows the builders hand. Thanks, (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Mark de Kock
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Alex Polimeni
     Cool! I like them. Thanks for these inspirational ideas. I think im going to build some Ice Planet stuff of my own now for when we get snow down here. Thanks for the pics. Alex (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) Great! The more IP2002 MOCs the better. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Gil Shaw
     (...) (snip buncha great stuff) (...) Excellent endeavour, Pat. Your faithfullness to the original theme is amazing. The Flare has an awesome shape and the rover is a dream..especially the lower hatch. When I saw your mechs in the previews, my first (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) Oooh... IP contest. I'm going to have to do some searching. thanks Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Lindsay Frederick Braun
      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)
    
         Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
     (...) It's funny you should say that. Glowy-green is starting to creep onto my work table. More on that later... Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Soren Roberts
     There's not much for me to say that hasn't already been said, but those mecha... Just too cool. A fitting tribute to the Regult Battlepod. Take care, Soren (URL) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Steve Hickman
   First, as a fellow Ice Planet zealot, I must applaud your work in the Ice Planet theme. Very cool, no pun intended. . .well maybe a little one. Anyway, on to the critiques I dig the mammoth, the wheels are very creative and I love the double quarter (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Ice Planet Returns —Patrick Bunn
   (...) Excellent critcism on all counts. I am still tweeking everything a little bit at a time and will have more photos soon. As for the moonbase connection. I figured I would have two more on either side to make a better transition to blue and grey (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.space)
