Something seriously gone wrong with the Space Shuttle!
⁰The Seagull being one of many mocs on Rebrickable. Of the ones requiring added parts their is an improved Space Shuttle which certainly looks better but at extra cost unless you are very lucky with your spares.

Lego event at the National Space centre last weekend
Strange time warp as a Space Shuttle orbits above Endurance. It is the Creator Space Shuttle expanded on with a Rebrickable added parts mod 174972. Needs a couple of 1x1 tiles changing as sorting out what I had in artificial light I took two dark blues ones to be black. Expanded on the mod be adding a couple of 2 x 6 tiles to the floor of the cargo hold which then strengthen the fixing of the hinge plates for the doors.

Instead of the Easter Bunny the Tuxedo Cat now has Gromit for company. A rebrickable mod with added parts.
I made a few internal changes deliberately to retain the sunflower, and necessary to ensure their were enough parts.
Tan 2 x 3 plates are unnecessarily shown as being used internally when pink ones can be used.
Spare 2 x 2 plates meant no need to use the green ones and two pink 2 x 3 plates used instead of the green round plate.
Also a 1 x 2 plate that is long edge external needed to be a modified one to have sufficient. I actually replaced its opposing one as well with a 2 x 6 plate which added strength.

Taken a while, an electric version of a pneumatic James Watt steam engine on Rebrickable.
The motor is driving the yellow wheel at the bottom resulting in an automatic speed reduction to the rest of the moving parts and works well off 5v
The overall width of the base has been reduced by 8 studs but the structures are unaltered in size.
I added undergrowth, replaced a number of exposed plates with tiles, added a ladder to the front and minimised the all over place appearance of the "water" pipe by adding corner pipe pieces and a support. To connect the pipe it was necessary to cut 3L axles with stud to make 1L axles with stud.
Also added a main connecting steam pipe from curcular pieces. Minifigure Workers are the Chimney sweep and crook.
Did need some parts having a touch of Mek on them to stay together once operating.
