How do you like my UP 4884?
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO enthusiast and builder /u/DesAnderes has shared an impressive progress update on a massive custom train build, showcasing set 4884 currently sitting at a substantial 2,882 pieces. Designed primarily as a striking display piece, the creator has meticulously crafted the model to capture intricate details while still leaving plenty of finishing work remaining.
Despite its primary role as a static display model, the designer ingeniously engineered functional articulation into the build. This thoughtful feature ensures that if builders manage to find a large enough track curve, this massive locomotive can actually navigate in a full circle.
While working on large-scale custom locomotive builds with thousands of elements, staying organized is essential, making it a great idea to utilize a LEGO storage box for sorting loose pieces. As the builder puts the finishing touches on the remaining detailing, this ambitious project highlights the impressive creativity within the LEGO fan community.
Hey people, I'm 2882 pieces in. But what do you think of it so far? I still have a lot of detailing to do, but I really like how it's coming together. I design it as a display. But I still made sure it has some articulation, so if you find a large enough curve, this big boy might actually go in a circle. submitted by /u/DesAnderes [link] [comments]
