1:8 scale L.M.S. Explorer

[Arthuriel]

[As promised in my 1:1 scale L.M.S. Explorer thread this is one of the smaller L.M.S. Explorer models]

In January 2012 I thought, that it would be a funny idea to build a smaller version of the L.M.S. Explorer, which could actually be build without owning the inventory of several Lego Stores ;) (turns out, that it's still impossible, because those cheese-slopes and other parts aren't produced in some colors like teal etc.). The result is the "Mini" L.M.S. Explorer.

pieces: 5320 (aargh, so many small pieces^^). My latest version has ~5000 pieces (I eliminated some smaller flaws and exchanged smaller parts with bigger ones to reduce the brick count).

building time: hmm, maybe 30 to 50 hours (changes not included)

scale: not exactly 1:8 but very close to it (~1:8,25) (compared to my 1:1 scale version of the LMS Explorer, which is 975 studs long)

construction program: LDD (but I have converted the model into ldr (MLCAD) and lcd (LeoCAD) files, too)

dimensions:

Length: 116 studs/ 91,36 cm/ 35,97 in.

Width: 17 studs/ 13,49 cm/ 5,31 in.

Height: 16 studs/ 12,70 cm/ 5,00 in.

[2015-11-23]: I made a new picture with another render program (personally I prefer the new result):
