Need to move your out-of-atmosphere ship across the planetary surface? Then Thomas of Tortuga has the vehicle for you! Capable of carrying ships like this Border Integrity Corvette, the Morvin Spaceport Tug can transport a variety of craft on its back, thanks to eight-wheel-drive and some of the largest wheels this side of the galactic disc. Head to the spaceport via the link above to discuss your ship transportation needs!
Well whatever this Classic Spaceman is doing, no-one can hear him. Flickr’s manuele vidi is the creator of this whimsical Classic Space vignette, in which many hands make a great logo. Join the Classic Spaceman doing, um… Classic Space things via the link above.
It’s the final day of Febrovery, much to the relief of TLCB Staff who are several lightyears outside of their comfort zone. But no matter, because the creations – as with each year’s event – have been stellar. We round up Febrovery 2025 with three of our favourites…
First up (above) is 1corn‘s ‘Woodtron Forester’, a cosmic tessellation with Toblerone levels of triangularity. Triangulate yourself to 1corn’s photostream via the link to see more.
Next we have Frost‘s ‘Space Van Life’ (above), proving that even billions of miles from Earth, there’ll still be a top-knotted douchebag in a van vlogging about their vegan lifestyle. Like and subscribe via the link above!
And lastly, as at the end of any good event, there’ll be some tidying up to do. Ids de Jong‘s ‘Kisora CT30 – Garbage Truck’ (below) looks just the thing, and you can head to the newly swept streets of an other-worldly cyberpunk city via the link above. Until next time, Febrovery…
The good thing about trucking across a newly-populated planetary expanse, is there are no low bridges.
Which means no pesky height restrictions for your space shipping, something Flickr’s Walter Whiteside Jr. has taken maximum advantage of with this Febrovery entry.
Ship yourself into into space via the link above.
The Lego Car Blog Elves are well-fed during Febrovery. A huge array of blogworthy spacey vehicular creations are created, earning the Elves many meal tokens, and TLCB Staff much angst, as it’s a subject about which we know nothing.
No matter, because here are some of our Febrovery favourites from the last week or so, beginning with Pascal’s ‘Turtle P.O.W.E.R’ (above), cunningly created from an upside-down boat hull.
Next we have previous bloggee Nikolaus Lowe’s ingenious ‘Earth Mover’ (above), which has taken the most literal approach possible to its name, whilst newcomer EXT511’s ‘Mineral Detector’ (below) is deployed to… um, detect minerals. Look, we said we knew nothing.
On to Blacktron, and another builder making their TLCB debut. Luna S’s ‘Electroplanetary Tracer’ (below) joins the growing catalogue of 2025 Febrovery entries, and brings the villains of classic space into the roving community.
And finally (below, clockwise from top left), a montage of oddities, from Littlepixel’s ‘UggyBuggy’, Martin Spunkt’s ‘Biscuit Rover’ (no we don’t know why either), to – frankly – a pair of vehicles transplanted from the tarmac at Heathrow airport into space, courtesy of fiftyshadesofbley and David Roberts. Because spaceships need boarding stairs and avgas too.
All are available to view via their respective links in the text above, and you can find them – plus lots lots more – at the Febrovery Flickr group, where thousands of roving creations of all shapes and sizes reside.
This year’s Febrovery is just over half-way through, with interplanetary oddities of all shapes and sizes appearing by the dozen. This one comes from martin.with.bricks, rocking a Neo-Classic Space aesthetic, swing-arm mounted wheels, and a giant roof-mounted ray gun. Oh, this is Classic Space – we mean ‘scientific research device’. There’s more of Martin’s Febrovery entry to see on Flickr, and you can join the roving via the link above.
This TLCB Writer doesn’t understand feet. Sure they’re there to hold you up and everthing, but to him they are functional only. Like a trachea. Or a spleen.
But not today, because today’s he’s so into them, courtesy of Caleb Ricks and this fabulous space freighter ‘The Antipodes’. Caleb’s design is a rhythm of angles, with some truly inspired techniques deployed to create the triangulated hull. A stunning interior features too, with jaw-dropping detail throughout, yet the most brilliant parts of Caleb’s masterpiece are the landing feet, which deploy in mesmerising motorised scnyhrinoscity via the ingenious mechanisms hidden within.
Like a hydropneumatic Citroen, we could watch The Antipodes’ feet gracefully rise and fall on loop, and you can join us and our foot fetish on Flickr via the links above.
Febrovery’s weirdness continues, and this is right up there in the weird stakes. Entitled the ‘Hexapod Rover’, Pascal‘s spindly spider design is probably eliciting some primal emotions in some of our readers. Place a glass over it and slide some paper underneath, or scream and smash it with a tea-towel, depending on your persuasion, at the link above.
This is an X-28 Landspeeder, and… um, that’s all we know. We’re not Star Trek Wars people. But we do like racing stripes and rooster-tail dust-clouds, and this has both! Ordo (Fabian B.) is the builder behind it and you can take a look via the link above.
The Lego Car Blog can be accused of many things. Incompetence. Wilful ignorance. Childish humour. But Only-Blogging-Thousand-Brick creations isn’t one of them. Proving that point today is Nikolaus Lowe‘s delightfully simple half-tracked Febrovery entry, complete with a smiling Benny the Spaceman and a Storm Trooper at the handlebars. Which is an interesting play on these sorts of machines’ original drivers. Join in the space Naziism via the link to Nikolaus’ photostream above!
Febrovery has barely begun and we’re already deep into weird purple trees and anthropomorphicised breadbins. Amongst the peculiar biology is Frost (aka TFDesigns!)‘s fantastical rover, a unique dome-canopied 6×6 piloted by the famous adventurer Kepler Van Allen himself. There’s more to see of Kepler, his rover, and the sentient toasters on Flickr, and you can rove the planetary surface for yourself via the link above.
According to cartoon lore, the banana skin is the slippiest object in the universe. Not the obvious choice for tyres therefore, which tend to require the opposite characteristics of skiddy fruit, but that hasn’t stopped Renaud Petit Lego, who has equipped his sci-fi water tanker with wheels wrapped in the bendy berries. Keep your eyes peeled and slither over to Flickr via the link above.
Today’s seminal title song.
It’s been a while since we last posted a sci-fi creation, which is mostly because, well… we’re rubbish at it. However even we can spot the brilliant ingenuity in newcomer Outer space BRICKS‘ unique ‘BT-SHIKRA’. Classified as ‘Neo-Blacktron’, OSB’s complex trapezoidal design is one of the most original ship shapes we’ve seen this year. There’s more of the creation to see on Flickr, and you can take a closer look at some terrifically clever Blacktron-based tessellation via the link above.
The mobile rocket launcher is to the under-endowed despot what the ageing BMW blasting terrible music is to the urban douchebag; A tragic exercise in ‘pay attention to me!’, usually spotted driving slowly through a city at great inconvenience to everyone else.
But not today! Because this mobile rocket launcher belongs to the perennially happy mini-figures of Classic Space, whose endeavours contrast markedly from those of the sullen dictator, whose rocket-transporting wares this site has occasionally featured.
TLCB debutant Jan Schönherr-Wacker is the builder of this fantastic reimagining of the vintage 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport from 1982, which is found not parading pointlessly in Red Square or Pyongyang, but diligently at work on the surface of a far off planet.
Eight enormous wheels, a slewing and pivoting rocket launcher, a crew of three Classic Spacemen, and a huge rocket all feature, and you can see more of Jan’s incredible 6950 redux at his photostream. Click the link above to take a closer look at a rocket launcher most noble.
The year is 1984, and the mini-figures of Classic Space are hunting for uranium. For what we’re not sure, but as their exploits are entirely peaceful we’re sure it’ll be for noble research purposes.
Fast forward forty years and the Classic Spacemen have moved on to light and sound, at least if our German is up to scratch. Cue 1corn’s ‘Mobile Licht- und Schallmeßstation’, a fantastic redux of the 6928 Uranium Search Vehicle of 1984.
Sixteen wheels, a smiling mini-figure crew of four, an array of light and sound measuring equipment, and some lunar baseplates covered in sand add to the whimsy, and you join the Classic Spacemen in their measuring at 1corn’s ‘Mobile Licht- und Schallmeßstation’ (6928) album on Flickr.
