LL-9208 Galaxy Explorer by Elephant-Knight
Elephant-Knight describes this as a "simple" take on the 928. At first glance, it is - the blue portion of the fuselage is easy to copy and so are the visible portions of the wings. But I'm convinced that for the wing attachments Elephant-Knight's design relies on the kinds of illegal connections and imprecise dimensions that can so easily arise when you're building something by hand and you just want something to connect so badly. I think this is the best I can do in Studio with only legal connections, and even with those I'm not 100% sure there are no collisions if all the bricks are treated as rigid bodies. But it would probably hang together if built in real life. In order to finish this, I had to compromise and leave out the bar that runs between the wings ahead of the cockpit, as well as the last 1x2x2 slopes on the extreme trailing edge of the wings. Like most Galaxy Explorer builders, Elephant-Knight didn't post any pictures of the underside of his model, so I just made that up. The cockpit furnishings and the cargo bay ramps are also different.
