Hello and happy new year to everyone!

I'd like to start with a mini model from the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" this year. A similar version has been in BrickJournal last year, but has been overhauled since then. It now features more camouflage look. The difficult part of this model are the only slightly bent-up wings. To get this done in brick I used the fact that the 1x2 door rail plate is a little less than 1.5 plate wide. This allows for a slight bening up of the wings with old-style hinge plates below them.

I will edit this post as soon as BrickShelf updates and include a link for the instructions for those who are interested.

Have a great week-end and thank you for your time and interest!

Excellent Legostein! I think it really takes a unique builder to create these little minis (and to make them look good). You've done an excellent job at rendering to mini-scale. Love the propellors and the mini wheels.
I'm surprised you don't have little camouflaged decals. Nice!

Minis everywhere! This is a great new addition to your collection. I love the use of those tool thingies as guns. It's brilliant!

I really hope you don't break your models after you've posted them, because I'd love to see your whole collections!

Frontpaged! Love it!

All the fine detail you usually include, but in a new theme. I hope we can look forward to more Indy goodness.

Love this I do - I'm not normally into microscale vehicles, but I gotta say AWESOME !
And right down to the props and colours on the plane - fantastic !
Great work again, 'Legostein' !

Amazing, just as cool as your Star Wars minis!

Hello again!

Thank you all for the many nice compliments! I was not sure if it would be liked, but this proves again that here is a great place to share ideas. Thank you for frontpaging it, Shadows, and also a big thank you for creating this amazing image, TheBrickster!

I hope to do more like this in the future to enhance the collection (all 200+ models are kept intact).

See you soon,

~ Christopher

A really awesome mini Legostone
When I saw this I immediatley thought it was your creation, and that it was so cool to go Indy.
This plane is a really awesome mini you have done.
Is so curious what more you will make.
Also fun to know that you always keep your models built.

Nicely done! Keep up the good work.
