Legostein Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) 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! ~ Christopher Edited January 2, 2010 by Legostein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted January 2, 2010 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!

Darth Legolas Posted January 2, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted January 2, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legostein Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) 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).

Ras 74 Posted January 4, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsmith13 Posted January 5, 2010 Nicely done! Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted January 5, 2010 Very accurate as usual, i really like the background so it looks like a real set too ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks again everone for the comments! I'll try my best to keep it up, but Indiana Jones is a theme where most object have a real-life background, thus not really belonging to the licensed theme here. However, the Flying Wing was designed only for the movie and does not exist in reality, only similar models do. I really like the background so it looks like a real set too ! Yes, TheBrickster is really amazing in creating the illusion of a real set. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
