7415: Aero Nomad
So I had a bit of free time today, meaning I could start work on the Everest set series.
I have a lot of fond memories of this set. It's one of the first Orient Expedition sets I bought and I bought it during a family trip to Legoland Windsor.
I wanted a bit more of a unique design for this revamp. Not so much of a generic hot air balloon design. The idea of multiple air bags seemed more appealing and a bit more heavy duty for a journey to Mount Everest.
The Lowell sphere has been used again, there's just something so handy about that technique. There aren't any nets on mecabricks, so I had to fashion my own by merging multiple rubber bands.
Eagled eyed viewers have probably spotted that there's and extra minifigure in this set revamp. It's Harry Cane!
I felt like it was only right to add him in for this final Adventure (plus he's been in every previous hot air balloon set as well and it felt like blasphemy not to include him).
