"Lego"

Although there’s a few other things I’ve been meaning to post here, a priority post has just come along with my discovery that you can get every brick Lego has ever made in LEGO Digital Designer, so I can make digital versions of all the awesome Lego models I created as a fully grown adult child.  To begin with a re-created the Arctic Class scout I made, based on the main vehicle of the 6573 Arctic Expedition set. The real life version isn’t so consistently coloured as the picture above, the wings and rudders are white, the skies are red and most of the body is red or yellow rather than orange. I can’t help but feel that more of the original colours might’ve been a better idea…

If you’re bowled over by the incredible engineering of this model, then you can find construction instructions at http://pixa.org.uk/lego.  Be aware that some of the pieces used may have never existed in the colours shown.
