MOC: Space Shuttle Crawler Transporter with MLP

Post by dr_spock » Sat Jan 15, 2011 5:57 pm

Greetings.

I present my Space Shuttle Crawler Transporter with Mobile Launch Platform (MLP). I tried to keep it small and simple in a Classic Town kind of style. The MLP is 30 stud wide, just a tad smaller than a standard base plate. So it'll fit on my town display shelf. :)

COOL. This is a nice enhancement. I am waiting to see your next project - a launch station/platform for it. ;)

Yes..... but the cost of making it could be higher than a box of 10213. By the way, good job on your 10213 review, it was beefing up my desire to get it. I hope it won't be discontinued for a while. I am waiting for better price with free shipping. :D

Thanks guys.

Legohunter, don't wait too long. I missed out on getting the VW Beetle by a few minutes. I saw it in S&H Sales&Deals as available. By the time I got my password and credit card, it was sold out. :( Maybe you can build the launch complex/station/tower with yours. :)
