TheOrcKing Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 lol, an expert in building your own setsOh right. Well, in real life containers typically use bright colors so they can be more visible at night (also more eyecatching when stuck on the back of a semi or train traveling crosscountry). This actually could be one time where using old gray would look realistic on a few because the dull color gives the container a 'weathered' appearance. I found a few life images for inspiration. >Legos of globalization by Lens Daemmi >280.

MartinP Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hopefully it's an error I think it is. On LEGO Shop at Home UK, they changed the expected ship date from May to March. That is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I wonder what scale this is close to: 1:400, 1:600? Well according to Wikipedia the Mc-Kinney Moller (first Triple E ship) is 399 meters long the Lego version is 65 cm long so 1:614 scale. You almost nailed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think it is. On LEGO Shop at Home UK, they changed the expected ship date from May to March. That is good. They had quite a few on the shelf at the Lego Store yesterday. Also one built up, it looked smaller than I expected, and was dwarfed by the Sydney Opera House next to it. And those Maersk stickers will be really annoying to put on. Its too easy to get them crooked at their display example proved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I see a lot of complaints online about the stickers...too many of them, too tedious. I'll be avoiding this one like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
