That base is fat as hell and gives it a really wide and deep footprint for a vertical set

You need a lot of space to display it
I was curious, so I checked lego.com. "32.5 in. (83 cm) high, 17.5 in. (45 cm) wide and 12 in. (30 cm) deep"

It's big, yo.

The product photography for a fancy Bag End set is going to be them kissing in bed with the set awkwardly off to one side.

I think it does! The colors pop a lot better in person, especially the deep purples against the black background. There’s some good usage of the new pearlescent colors as well, and lots of cool little parts sprinkled around.

Check out this Cesna 1727 MOC my 12 year old (who is super into planes) put together, using the model from his XPlane game as reference. He wants me to stress that this is a first prototype, with the colors driven by element availability - he has already used one of the apps to make instructions for a more color coordinated version.







edit: it's designed to hinge open to reveal its tender insides for easier play

Please tell your kid he did a great job. That is immediately recognizable and looks super swooshable. I especially like the effort put in to making the colored bits symmetrical.

Your kid is amazing to be designing that, it's awesome. At 12 I was still making spaceships with the green baseplates from the red buckets that looked nowhere near this good or advanced.

Color symmetry is very important to him. Peep his first spaceship MOC from when he was 4 and a half and our part inventory was just getting started:

if he ever manages to get a cessna 172 whenever he grows up (not the most unrealistic dream) you need to send him those pictures and he needs to paint the wings in that pattern

I recently learned about this piece and saw that it is really inexpensive for it's size. I've been kicking around the idea of a MOC modular and thought it would make be useful. They are 16 studs wide, so two make it as wide as a standard modular. It'd be boring without being dressed up a bit, so I fooled around in Stud.io and ended up with something art deco inspired. I'm pretty pleased with it.


Everything you see is 638 pieces and $55.44 according to Stud.io.

Now to make the ground floor and the roof, and fill things in structurally. :stare:

Edit: poo poo, I just realized that the decorative bits on the sides would make it hang over a 32 wide base plate. Oh, well. Everything else about it works.
