Attention Lego fans!
I am excited to present my first submission to the Lego Ideas program: the Research Outpost and Scouting Ship.
This set offers an original concept and an engaging building experience that I hope will ignite your creativity and passion for Lego. It features a main build consisting of a fully furnished research outpost with a detachable landing/launching pad, a scouting airship, a ground vehicle equipped with various supplies for the researchers, and a crew of four dressed in their mission uniforms. As of now, this set comprises a total of 1601 parts.
The Research Outpost provides a believable and self-contained habitat, including:
- Sleeping quarters for the crew
- A comfortable lounge area for relaxation
- A well-equipped kitchen with appliances and supply shelves
- An abundant hydroponics farm (which may appear a bit out of control)
- A shared bathroom
- A dining table for communal meals
- A dedicated research station
- A detachable landing/launching pad
The sub-models consist of a land exploration vehicle (it's a car) inspired by the 1999 Lego Adventurers theme, and an original airship that serves as the second largest build.
Opening up the aircraft reveals:
- A fully accessible fuselage housing mission-critical components
- A tool wall, concealing an engine room
Thank you for your interest and support. Together, we can bring the Research Outpost and Scouting Ship to life!
Updates:
- The landing gear of the airship has been updated to remove a critical design flaw.
- The design of the rudder and aft section of the airship have been updated
- Some colours have been changed to account for parts availability
Apologies for some of the weirdly cropped pictures, the re-sizing tool just wouldn't behave as I wanted despite my best intents.
Best regards,
The designer
EDIT: I've brought some changes to the ship's (edits to the cockpit part) and outpost designs (interior). Thank you all for your support.
