920\/483 Reloaded. A new version of the Alpha 1 Rocket Base from 1978\/79 packed into two 16x8x8 Space Cargo Units (SCU).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn’t have the 920 Alpha-1 Rocket Base as a child, but always wanted to have one. Now, as an AFOL, instead of buying one or building one with single bricks I wanted to build my own version of it.<\/p>\n

On my moon base almost everything should be delivered in SCU containers, even the parts of the base themselves. So my Alpha-2 Rocket base had to fit into a pair of containers, too.<\/p>\n

It took a while to find a mechanism for the whole launch pad assembly and the rocket to\u00a0 fit into a 16L SCU, but it finally worked well. The second SCU module is a combination of control unit and garage for the fuel truck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nA look into the control unit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLike Alpha-1 the whole rocket base can be mounted on a single crater plate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Special delivery: 2 SCUs for Alpha 2<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>SCU #1: The launch pad assembly including the rocket<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Step 1: Fold out the side panels with the two sections of the rocket<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStep 2: Fold out the launch tower<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStep 3: Assemble the rocket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStep 4: Add some fuel and it’s ready for launch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n3, … 2, … 1, … ignition … and lift-off.
\nThe tower folds down for the start. (Sorry for the blurry picture, the AF of my cam isn’t the best – Must have been the vibrations from the starting rocket…) ;-))<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSCU #2: Control unit and truck garage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFold down the ramp and the truck is ready for work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is my SCU (Space Container Unit) based Lego Classic Space SC-920 Alpha 2 Rocket Base.
\nI hope you like it :-))<\/p>\n
