Yes, "less interesting" was perhaps an unfair characterization. I should
say, the more monotonic livery!
Strange as it seems, this was the set I had in mind, hence the longing for a
trans-green canpoy.

haha ok, I'll give you the 'monochrome' part...but it was the early
80's, there weren't a lot of colors then!
I forgot they did slopes, bricks, and panels in the trans-green in the series,
but the windscreens then were the more square looking 4474 6x4x2 like on the
Blacktron Invader. Anything like you're looking for didn't appear until
Space Police II, so that's more what I was getting at.

| Yeah, it slipped my mind they did some of the smaller windscreens in the trans-green
for later sets. Still wasn't until Space Police II that they came in the
10x4x2 needed here, though.

I'm currently working on a redux version of the mobile lab; I just can't
seem to come up with a nice update for the wheels.

The Classic Space one pretty much nails the scheme, and the Blacktron I version
is great, as well!
I second the Ice Planet idea, and will also say Space Police I and Blacktron
II would be great for it, as well.
Definitely given me ideas!

 Though most of the early sets had the trans-yellow or trans-blue pieces; it
wasn't until Futuron (I think) when they went with the trans-green.

Before Futuron:
There already was White+Black+Trans-Blue sets before this one.
This set mixed both the Blue+LG+Trans-Yellow and White+Black+Trans-Blue schemes:

As for suggestions on the green canopy, they did make
that could work, though you'd have to change the connect point...

Have to agree with the consensus, the Blacktron version is amazing. Takes me
back to my youth as I had the 6894-Invader set and a few others. Nice work.

Ice Planet maybe?

 That's one! I think I have a
somewhere to get me started.
The gray ship in my original post is suppossed to be a nod to the less interesting
classic space livery of gray with hints of red (wheel hubs) and trans-green windows.
I know it's a long shot, but my fingers are crossed that LEGO may some day
produce a
in trans-green that I can use on that ship.

The Blacktron one is awesome!

Thanks, it was definitely a fun one to brainstorm. I went sort of crazy with
it and parted out a bunch of
just so I could get my hands on some
and
for the solar panels, but I think it was worth it! It echoes the original Invader
quite nicely.

| Hey,
I recently put together the set mentioned in the subject and had the idea to
add an internal motor to try and make the car motorized. Wondering if anyone
has attempted this before I go at it blind.
My initial thought is that it shouldn't be too complicated. The differential
is easily accessed through the removable engine cover. There might be a big enough
gap in there for me to place a small motor in there. Need to take another look
at the front tires to see where I could set one up for them.
Any ideas or tips on how to get started would be greatly appreciated!

| Hi all,
I'm new here and was just wondering if there are people on this forum who
would design a lego set for a fee?
If so please sent me a private message.

| Hi,
I think that there are many who, like me, want to build 40703 and/or 40704 with
their existing items.
Therefore I've created created customised instructions for 40703 and 40704
and posted them online here: https://bricksto.build
The instructions roughly follow the same sequence as the original instructions.
40703 - Micro Ninjago City
40704 - Micro Ninjago Docks
I also plan to create 40705 and 40706 as soon as they are released.
Happy building!

| | Hi there,
I am wanting to create a striped pole that would be used in a Christmas build
as a "North Pole". I wanted to create the stripes angled rather than
straight and then possibly put a light brick in the top surrounded by transparent/translucent
blue bricks. However, I am struggling to create the stripes in a cube.
Can anyone recommend the best way to do this, or suggest which brick number(s)
I could use?
Many thanks!

The old macaroni bricks could be used staggered, so that might work, but it would
be rather large, much bigger than minifigure scale.
On a smaller scale, you could use one of these in white:
and wrap a long thin red sticker around it to create the candy cane effect. Or
use a red one and wrap a white sticker around it.

| Hi,
Many thanks for the reply.
Scale-wise I am thinking it being fairly big/tall. I will be adding some elves
around it so will probably appear fairly large. I'm also going to be adding
a ball/crystal on top
Many thanks for your help!

| You could do it with 1x1 round plates in white and red but it would depend on
the scale required.
