Happy Easter from the "Bunny Command Base"

Have a great time with friends and family, and enjoy your life away from Lego, perhaps the best and most beautiful hobby in the world.

The Brave Babynauts are guests of their colleagues from "Modern Space", actually the computers are set to automatic during their presence and the robots should take care of the base, but something has gone wrong - a non-hostile force has taken command of the base and intends to hide useful things everywhere - yes, we are talking about "Easter eggs".

Since April 1st is not far away, let's take a look at some fun parallel universes where the brave babynauts are not in command of the Command Base:

Chicken Command Base

Kitten Command Base

Squirrel Command Base

Bird Command Base

In the context of these small variants I would like to thank @T.F.O.B.A for his great crazy "Chicken n'Cheese" models, and point out the beautiful creative creatures @Skwiggle builds, the idea with the crystal comes from @the invisible brick probably one of the biggest Lego Space fans on Lego Ideas.

950 Supporters - The oxygen recovery (and some fun)

In the first draft, the oxygen recovery built from the oxygen tanks of a minifigure were not yet in the model, but without them the command center seemed too bare and tidy, unlike the ergonomic computer controls, the objects have something technically functional-optimized and thus break the smooth form language of the model and, as I find, enhance it well without disfiguring it.

I would like to thank everyone who supported the project - thank you very much.

But thanks to the great "Vehicle: Clowns Transport Space Shuttle" the Babynauts got a funny visit on their CSBCB, nothing beats humor - there has never been more laughter on board. If you want to see more great clown models check out @Julientheclownofthebrick (Baby's just want Fun).

An interim balance - The Space Babynauts are now available in Bricklink Studio

I am happy to announce that we have already reached 880 supporters with 172 days left. Thank you very much, I am very happy about that.

There is a great development on Stud.io the Baby Space body (Item No: 25128pb010) has been available for a long time but recently also the head with helmet (Item No: 100662pb01). This leads to a great development, everywhere (even in digital models Babynauts appear). I am very happy about this, there can't be too many models with baby astronauts.

I would like to show you three examples of many great models here. The "Evil Spacebaby Mech" by @MinifigInSpace or "Base: Home Base One (Tensegrity)" by @Original75154 and "Vehicle: By Monorail to School" by @Steinedieb , I am happy that our brave Babynauts are no longer so alone in their "Classic Space Baby Command Base".

850 supporters - The Vehicles of the Babynauts

The Babynauts have several vehicles in their fleet, the 4x4 Buggy, the 6x6 and 8x8 Rover as well as the spaceships LL-9½ and the prototype LX-10. I had not yet introduced the KL-6, which is equipped with two 360° swivel engines. It is a two-seater patrol glider for reconnaissance and defense.

An interim balance - 200 days to go

It's time again to say thank you and look back a little.

Thank you for supporting me so much. It's my idea, but it's our project, and I'm very happy that we've come this far, even if we still have a long journey ahead of us. Objectively it is possible that we will reach 1K, but not certain as I am showing you here.

The big edit I had planned for after reaching 1,000 supporters I have now brought forward. I hope you like it. If you like you can promote this project on social media and share it with your friends and family.

800 Supporters - A new year changes everything - Everything is new (not everything)

A new year is dawning and the brave Babynauts have received new tasks and equipment. The new 8x8 research rover with 6 seats and the exploration spaceship LL-9 ½ have been delivered, new adventures are already waiting for us to experience together with the brave baby astronauts. I wish everyone a successful new year, have fun building. And many thanks for your support.

Have a wonderful holiday season

First of all I would like to thank the 764 kind people who have supported the project so far.🌺😊

I hope everyone reading this will have a nice peaceful time with friends and family. I always think that at the end of the year you have another opportunity to reach out to people with whom you have fallen out and maybe warm up old friendships, sometimes a friendly text message or a nice email is enough. Yes, I know people all over the world are in a bad way in December, but if we are all a little nicer than usual and open our hearts, maybe this world will become a better place.

As you can see, our friends the Babynauts are celebrating in the Classic Space Baby Command Base and have invited a few friends (The One-Eyed Tentacle Creatures from the neighboring planet) and an unannounced guest who brings presents has also arrived.🎅🎄

750 supporters - The sub-levels

When I was planning the model, I already realized that it should have different levels so that it wouldn't look like one big empty space. So I came up with the idea of putting the area directly in front of the main monitor on a small platform with two chairs for the operators and implementing a lower technical area where some system controls can be regulated. The platform in front of the monitor is exactly one plate higher, the technical area is one brick (three plates lower) than the floor. My self declared goal was that it should be a sub $100 model in the end, so I tried to be economical with parts and get the maximum out of what I used, the picture above is an early sketch in top view. Thank you very much for your support, together we can make this model, our project come true.

700 Supporters - The 6x6 Rover for Ground Excursions

Actually I just wanted to write "700 supporters - Wow, just Wow and thanks a lot!" but that doesn't do justice to the commitment of all the nice Lego fans who support our common project. So I wanted to briefly touch on the 6x6 Rover. It is 4 studs wide, has room for two Babynauts and has two opening doors.

A potential successor of the small 6x6 Rover is the 8x8 Rover with a suspension in the form of swing axles that is 6 studs wide and offers space for 7 Babynauts, has a crane arm, an opening door and a removable roof, feel free to let me know in the comments if you would rather see the 8x8 Rover instead of the 4x4 buggy and 6x6 Rover as part of the model.
