Mobile Communications Outpost

The Mobile Communications Outpost allows our explorers to conduct remote investigations while staying in contact with their distant base. It can be towed to sites by the tractor, then raise the high power antenna so the scientists can send and receive data. The tractor and trailer have excellent ground clearance and rugged suspension for clearing craters and rock fields with ease. No terrain is too rough for this rugged piece of hardware!

As a child in the early 80's my favorite toys were my Classic Space LEGO sets. With my Mobile Communications Outpost I've tried to recapture the spirit of exploration but also utility that those old sets embodied. I wanted it be something that could have come from that era but with a slightly more modern look. I made a point of using elements that I've always associated with Classic Space such as the large dish, the ladders, the canopy, and of course the megaphone! All of the elements are pieces that LEGO has produced so I can actually build this!
