x20 Technic Dinosaur!

OK, so this isn't a new model and you have probably seen it before, but this 20:1 scale Technic Dinosaur from the official set 8485 is in the Windsor LEGOLAND park, near the imagination centre. This was the first time I had managed to get a decent photo of it.

It is actually the biggest model in the park. I thought I built big at 10:1 scale!

Another 20x Scale Minifig!

Another fantastic classic Minifig at 20x scale. This one is in fantastic condition, hardly any fading and the colours are still very bright.

Here is another page from an issue of Bricks 'N' Pieces Magazine. If you click on the picture it will enlarge.

The issue came out in the Autumn of 1986. I was 11 years old at the time and wished that I had enough bricks to build something so big.

Last year I was lucky enough to bid on EBAY enough money to buy the actual figure from this page. He's called Archie and he stands in my living room. Before he came to me he stood in a child's bedroom for about seven years. He appeared in Bricks 'N' Pieces twice and was used to promote LEGO in Boots Stores (of all places).

There is a quote in the article that says 'How about trying to scale up something like it - not as big of course!' I love that line because now I can...

At this size it looks like the original, however the Crane was built to 20 times the size of the original. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
