LEGO SRV Build

[rOmiLaYu]

Ok, CMDR's...I've always wanted to a have a LEGO Elite thing. Last weekend, I lucked my way into about 80lbs of bulk blocks for free and thought, "Now's as good a time as any!" So I began. It only took me about three days to complete. I think it's pretty close to scale from the LEGO CMDR in the cockpit...and yes, the port rear drive while is not the same color base as the rest of the build but I got fed up looking after an hour and went with what I had. Full disclosure, I'm not a LEGO guy and I have no idea what any of this came from so I won't be of much help answering questions. I just wanted to show off a thing I did.

Without further adieu...

Thats amazing dude, great job.

You can buy a "Lego Elite Dangerous SRV Kit" and assemble it at home, how cool.....

You need a Lego Sidewinder next to it for scale...

Not sure 80 pounds of LEGO's would cover that, but I do plan on trying to put some ships together.

I think you are now!

Looks great, just like an SRV.

 

[Mr T]

Looks good to me.

@Rubbernuke has been putting together a Lego Asp Scout so doing a ship isn't impossible

If only he could complete it before Powerplay gets an update...

I think there is time

Fantastic stuff!

Did you ever see this one? (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/lego-technic-srv-wip.521140/)

Cheers, Alec. I did see it just today. Far more technical than mine...and quite impressive. Although, I didn't spend a dime on mine, so there is that.

Awesome job OP!

PS: Is it to scale with Rubbernuke's Asp Lego build?

 

[Hooplah]

Loved that you found a 'bubble' that would work. Here's a Cobra and an SRV for more ideas.

Lego Cobra 2.0

There is definitely some 1960-70s Soviet-era vibes in this. Which is good.

Love it! We need more Elite Dangerous Lego! Is the cockpit a Lego bauble?

Did you mean 80lb or £80?
80lbs of Lego would create a life sized 1:1 Coriolis. You've used 200g for the SRV, that leaves plenty

For anyone that's interested, charity shops are an amazing source of stupidly cheap Lego. £5 for £100+ Lego sets. Got some just before Christmas, huge box for £5, like new. The 4 pneumatic pistons that I found at the bottom of the box can be sold for £10 each!

Now make one to the scale of the mini-fig. And damn you all... My loft is full of Lego... For some reason I'm getting tempted to get it down again...

 

[Bottom Hat]

@rOmiLaYu this is outstanding mate. You should combine with rubbernuke into a sticky Lego thread! Probably won't be allowed, but I love these models - I'm getting the same itch as @Crank Larson is getting too...!

I have no idea what the cockpit is. There were two of them in the boxes I got. They fit together with those black extruded four sides sticks.

And yes, 80lbs, not £80. It's a guesstimate. Two 25 gallon tubs full.

I mean, I feel like I did.

Albeit without the threat of MAD.

The one Alec linked was scaled to the mini-fig, I think. The SRV is surprisingly big.
