[LEGO IDEAS] Rapa Nui: Easter Island Voyage - The Islanders meet the Dutch

[Mister Phes]

THE SET...
I really wanted to create a historical event or scene that is not that known to most people in lego, so I decided I'd try this... The Easter Island Voyage! It is a recreation of the first Europeans, the Dutch, being the first to discover Easter Island in 1722. Later, others soon explored Easter Island, Such as the Spanish, Captain Cook of England, and the French. And of course, what most astounded these explorers were the giant Easter Island Head monoliths, also known as Moai. The Islands original inhabitants, the Pacific islanders of polynesia, built these mysterious Moai heads.

While the Dutch called it Easter Island, the islands native inhabitants named it Rapa Nui.

The set idea includes shore line, the coastal waters, and a display border.

I be finding meself in need of more information, could you provide a link to the submission? The Ideas site seems to have search options broken for me, because I can't find anything there.

Each image links to the submission page on LEGO Ideas.

However, the reason there isn't any prominent linking is because the submission has expired.

Probably should make a note of that in the first post.

My sentiments exactly.

Finally, someone has represented the Dutch, but alas, I found this one too late.
