Alpinemaps Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I was a cartographer too, until my job series was changed to an aeronautical information specialist. Sweet!Sadly, I retired from map making years ago. “Rose” to Management, then got pushed aside. Now I’m in my second career as an IT/Web/SharePoint guy. But funny enough I’m still on a Geographer Series PD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 This set is so bad. Actually all the Lego “Art” series are terrible. Google “bead art” to understand how poor of a value these are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw those kinds LEGO art at Ripley's many years ago, my thoughts was "this look cool, but I would not want to be the one putting it together" 9 hours ago, melting said: This hurts my eyes. From this angle, that looks like a map from 1 of those old PC games with world maps. It reminded me of how cool it was to see the map in color on VGA monitor (16 colors baby!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Earlier when I read this on my phone I was like, woah, eurocentric much? But now I'm looking at it on my laptop and holy cow this image just straight up hurts my eyes! I was noticing the same thing. The area I live in (east coast US) is pretty much split right on the border. I wonder if the map is evenly split on the edges so that you could put the American continents in the center if you choose to. Not that I am going to buy it though, just more of a curiosity.

Page 139 of the instructions shows that you can put it together in three different ways to make a Euro/Africa, Asia or America centric map.

I thought this was obvious by the pictures on the front of the box. The 2 smaller maps on the lower left are America centric and Asia centric, while the huge one is Euro centric. Also it says 1 picture, 3 combinations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
