Small Ground Craft, based on the Classic Space Theme.
Various little craft, made by myself & my sister.
These were based on a couple of real principles: Minifigs had to be able to
sit in it, and it had to either occupy 1 or 2 (at absolute) lanes of street.
As you can see, these rules held most of the time, but not always!

A taxi! This thing held a bunch of folks &
had space for them to hang their tanks & tools. |

Not sure what this was? But it's got rail guns! Since
we had a whole bunch of train stuff (tracks, ties, & other stuff), it
was advantageous to be able to use that stuff as much as possible. |

A simple scooter for 2. |

It's Blackie. She's riding an innovative little hoss with a
dump. It's got a single wheel where I have no idea of it's
origin, but I'm guessing from an airplane kit. |

Here's another nice little craft. It's got 8 amazing tires,
and the canopy is the flat lie-down variety. I did this against
my own better judgment, but I really like how low & flat the crafts
could get. I rationalized it by imagining that there were
displays, and advanced navigation systems beyond current comprehension
attached to the roof of the canopy, so lying down was actually the
preferred method of travel. |

Since we're working with the awesome 8-wheel concept, here's
another one. Instead of a clear canopy, in my infinite wisdom I
just closed it all up, in accordance with the above theory of
in-canopy navigation. This craft even had ladders to get into
it. |

This is kinda cool. It's got a winch & articulating arm on
one end, and a huge gaping maw on the other. On the most skilled
operators got to work with this machine. |

I was inspired by watching SAM salvos & how smooth they launched.
So this was kind of a tribute, and cause rockets are cool, there you
have it. It tilts up & down, and is detachable thanks to a very
arcane piece of a detachable ball & socket joint. |

There was a couple sets that allowed me to amass a large quantity
of hoses. What can I do with lots & lots of hoses I wondered.
Short of a sprinkler system, the only logical answer is a fuel truck.
No wait, an automated fuel tanker to refuel spaceships by gum! |
