This is the Odyssey Prime - a futuristic space craft designed for long distance transportation of people and equipment.

The set contains 2041 pieces and 3 space themed minifigures and a robot on wheels who I am currently naming EL.3.G.O.

It contains a 3 part modular space craft which can be reconfigured by separating the parts to leave a central 'storage pod on the planet containing the vehicles and equipment. Then the front and rear connect together to form a new smaller space craft.

Contained within are 3 vehicles perfectly suited to exploration and early settlement duties:

A 4 wheel drive ATV with storage area
A high speed, compact reconnaissance aircraft for exploration duties
A low level hover-copter for commuting around the local area to the craft.

It contains a fully detailed interior with cockpit, living quarters, stasis pods, computers, missiles/rockets/satellites/ whatever pointy round thing you'd like them to be.

I think now it's finished, there's definite shades of thunderbird 2 in there, as well as some easter eggs from space sets of the past but packaged in to a new type of design language and a new colour palette for space.

My hope with this was to produce a craft for the space community that resonated with those that love classic space and those that love modern space. There has been very little ever done in the form of a space transportation craft in the past and I thought this was a nice avenue to explore.

As with everything I design, I wanted it to have 'play' value - it's very strong and substantial, your kids (or you!) can play with this and it will survive to go back on the shelf at the end of the day! This has been built in the flesh and my 7 year old son has been playing with it since before Christmas!

Thanks for looking - if you think it's cool, please give it a vote!
