I love your cockpit designs. Using that one slanted windscreen in a way it was never intended creates some amazing rovers.

Quoting David Roberts I like how you've added the red to the classic Classic Space colour scheme but still made a model which could be part of the original CS sets. I like the console in the bottom of the back section. I think that it has a bit of the central console in the TARDIS about it and is also nicely enigmatic in that Classic Spacey way: what does it do?

Thanks David. Although it is hard to photo it, the idea was that the terminal could allow several spacemen to work together at the same time.

Quoting Marc dZ Strange and funny Space-Castle ranger... Strange because we expect some kind of design when we talk about CS vehicles and you do not bother with that matter. So the result is audacious!! Well done!!

Audacious - thank you!

Quoting Dave Benson You really have a recognizable building style! Looks so odd and unique and it inspires me :) I must try a classic space theme sometime, looks like fun.

I'd love to see your take on CS.

Quoting Senator Chinchilla . Very neat! I like all the computers and greeblies. The color scheme is kind of odd, but very funky and that fits the whole 70's CS theme to a tee.

I always thought CS should have used red a little more as an accent - M: Tron was cool, but almost too red.

Quoting El Barto ! Massive! That's quite a rig, Dude, with all sorts of interesting features. Is that some sort of AI consoe inside?

AI console maybe, I was thinking of something between a Tardis console and Zen from Blake's 7: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_(Blake%27s_7)

Quoting Justin Knelsen Thats an awesome vehicle! I especially like the arm, and I always enjoy computer bays in a vehicle. Looks great. =)

The central terminal has a certain TARDIS quality to it. That was one of my favourite sections.

Now that, is an exploration vehicle. I think your crew has been waiting for something of that size for a while now. They need it to survive all the lake and crevice monsters that prey unsuspecting smiling spacemen! Haha. Great work David. :)

Quoting Tim C Well this is one of my favorite space builds by you, David. I see that you've touched on the space castle theme a bit again, and a nice addition to the theme. This is, by far, your best claw. Looks like it could do more of the heavy duty lifting than your other builds. I like the section in the middle the best. Great work, David.

It may not be obvious, but in terms of scale this is a step up for me. The law is more fully realisable with this increase.

Quoting Topsy Creatori(StoveTop nomore!) Spacastle build even better with the addition of that claw! I just love the whole geo-explorer sub-theme of these classic builds. I'm sure when I start my build for the contest I'll lean in that direction! :)

I'm getting more and more excited about your build for the pocket money contest.

There is always an element of construction in my CS space.

Quoting Crimso Giger Yeah, a medieval 6952 !!! Completely awesome - apart from the Castle parts, the other fantastic idea is the four canopies put this way, and of course the claw. Great job !!!

6952 was clearly at the front of my mind when building this. That and seeing what would happen if I scaled up my mini-set ethos to a larger build. Thanks for the compliment.
