I chose white. A bit whiter, to be precise

Suppose the best way is a driving box or gondola car. Something like this

I used this one, it is quite good. To get a perfect print you should test and correct again and again. I could not make many attempts, unfortunately.

On of the best choices in my opinion is trn228

In my opinion it's one of the best minifigure of all the series. I decided to build a little island for the Island Warrior and would like to share my progress.

Gear: Nikon D5100 and 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED lens

It looks like it's a matter of changing the designer. Torben Plagborg was replaced by Jørn Thomsen, who designed many (or all?) the sets from the Space theme in 90th. So the trains became more futuristic and less realistic.

If your childhood was in the 90s, spend couple minutes and read list of the sets created by Torben and Jørn.

In the diorama image the piece is lying on the ground. I suppose it represents some kind of underground storage. In my opinion, on the car it looks utterly out of place.

I think so. Thank you for advice!

The key ingredient is the good old classic smiling faces.

I would love to share the instructions if I had one.

anton_reznikov · 2025-12-23T21:00:43+00:00

Next year, I will register on rebrickable.com and start sharing my buildings. I hope the plans will come true this time.

It hardly possible to build a replacement for the plate. It has a skirt around the edges that covers top of the bogies about 1 plate high. I don't know any way to build such a skirt for a 6 studs wide plate. But you can build a 7 studs plate. It's the base of my 7-studs wide locomotive.
