Costume fun!

When we were doing our display at Windsor recently we were sharing a changing room with some large figure costume props and had a bit of a play!

Life On Mars Alien

Not the greatest of quality pictures because I cropped it out of another photo, but this Life On Mars alien was on display in the big shop in the Windsor LEGOLAND in 2002. The scale looks to be about 10-12:1.

Mars Mission Astronaut

There is a competitition in the latest LEGO Club magazine (arrived today) to win this 12:1 scale Astronaut based on the new Mars Mission sets. I will certainly be entering!

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but I had to photograph them as I don't have a scanner :(

Found it.

The images are from Brickshelf - but I found them through this site http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/11344

In the second picture you can see a detail of the arm and side of the body. I'm thinking this is a brilliant (and cheaper solution to the problem of having 2 x 2 x 3 slopes). Clever! (like me for finding it so quickly).

Big Space...

Also from pdonis's gallery.

More 928 info

I found this on Brickshelf in seb928's gallery. It gives more information about the scaled up 928 that has been featured before on this blog here.

More 'Maxifig' Scale Figures

Here are some more 'Maxifig' scaled Minifigs from the same gallery as the last post.

In case you don't know, 'Maxifig' generally describes models made to the same scale and form as the official LEGO set 3723.

6x Scale 928 Classic Spaceship

This is a 6x scale 928 Classic Spaceship made by Lego. The picture was on a postcard from the '81/'82 Club Rally day in Leeds, UK.

They havn't modelled the studs, so I don't think it's as cute as the x3 924 model blogged earlier, but it was produced 20+ years earlier!

886 Space Buggy in 12x Scale

Derek Raycraft has some excellent scaled-up creations over at MOCpages.

Richard has already highlighted the 1620 Astro Dart set, but here is another of his 12x scale creations.

He has also made a classic space minifig in Red.

I would love to know how the gearing in the legs work as I am currently trying to sort something out like that for my 10 scale fireman, so if you are reading this Derek, please let me know!

Excellent work!

Space Man...

Derek's Super Space Model.

x3 Scale 924 Classic Spaceship

Eric Harshbarger created an excellent x3 scale version of the classic 924 spaceship.

He used 2x2 round plated with tiles on top for studs, which works well at this scale. You can see it with the original sized model and a microscale one he created in this picture.

For more information on how he created it and more photos, check out this page on his website
