This is a chrome-gold-colored ancient chandelier model. I created this set because I like vintage objects, and I'd like to see an official Chandelier LEGO set.
Disclaimer - this set won't light up:
I'm sorry about that feature missing, which is important for a chandelier, but I thought making an engine to make it work would have been too big, and this means not suitable for the set.
On the other hand, the chandelier can shine with sunlight, since many pieces are transparent, so it would seem really working.
It cannot be hung at something like the ceiling, it wouldn't hang even if you try adding some plates on the top, unless you block the upper part between two wood blocks.
It's not full size, because there weren't bigger suitable pieces and also bigger means heavier, so the model would break.
Size:
30 x 30 x 50.7 studs
24 x 24 x 40.6 cm
9.5 x 9.5 x 16 inches
Weight:
17.872 oz / 506.7 g
The set holds because a "hose rigid", (75c47 piece), almost the same height as the chandelier, connects the whole inner structure, causing a friction that makes the structure solid (it's so strong that it's very hard to insert and remove it from the pieces).
The arms of the chandelier are instead connected to the central structure with the connector 43093 piece. The pieces that connect the parts of the arms are instead linked by "axle" 32062 piece.
Connector pieces are of existing / available colors, because it makes for me the set more "classic", every LEGO set has inner pieces of different colors.
Like ancient chandeliers, there are little chains and crystals (these chains are not used for holding the structure, they're just aesthetic details).
The lamp is built with egg-shaped pieces and there's a small flame in the center, to make an oil lamp effect. These pieces are 24130, 24132, 24946 and 37775.
There are obviously no impossible collisions in the set.
That's all, thanks everyone for your support! :DDD ❤️
