The rescue of 6950

Long ago, during the Classic Space era, the exploration rover 6950 was sent into uncharted territory. Communications were lost, and the brightly coloured pioneer was doomed to forever rest in the relentlessly grey landscape of Classic Space. Until now. Chris Melby aka ZeeMasterBrick decided the plight of 6950 was worth action, and in response he built the monstrous ‘Archimedes III’ recovery vehicle you see above. Sadly it looks as though 6950’s original crew all perished, but no doubt they were smiling as only Classic Spacemen can. See more of the recovery on MOCpages and Flickr.
