April 29, 20215 yr Hi everyone. I had a lot of people suggest I share this with you, so hopefully this is ok to post here I created a Boeing 747 cockpit out of LEGO and submitted it to the LEGO Ideas program (which can use your support). Features include: Detailed cockpit. Linked yokes (joysticks) with pitch movement (both with rotating handles). 4 independent throttle controls as well as flaps and spoiler levers. Instrument panels including main display, center console and overhead console. Sliding seats and moving armrests (seats slide via a hidden channel after using the drop away floor lever - pretty cool). Sheepskin covers too. External fuselage matching aircraft contour. 2 pilot minifigures and display panel. 1,874 parts and a rubber band. So LEGO Ideas is a program where if an idea reaches 10,000 supporters (ie a free vote) then LEGO might make it into an actual LEGO set. If that happened, well there is no reason why LEGO couldn't make an entire series out of this with different aircraft, or anything that has a cockpit (shuttles, heavy machinery, etc). Supporting is super easy, just go here, bit.ly/747Cockpit click Support and log in using a free LEGO Ideas account (otherwise this would have been at 10K weeks ago lol) I really appreciate it and hope you like it.
April 29, 20215 yr I clicked support, I like this one, I would have preferred a first gen 747 but this one is cool too. Even better if you could swap a few tiles to go between the first gen 747 and the second gen or third gen. Otherwise this is awesome Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

Different variants wouldn't be too hard to model - well just the tiles. Thanks again.

April 29, 20215 yr Klicked. This would make much more sense than some of the merchandising word not allowed they have been developing over the last years. Well... on second throught I recognized this might count as merchandising as well.😉 Kind regards, Michael Intel i7-13700K / AsRock Z790 / Crucial 32 GB DDR 5 / ASUS RTX 4080OC 16GB / BeQuiet ATX 1000W / WD m.2 NVMe 2TB (System) / WD m.2 NVMe 4 TB (MSFS) / WD HDD 10 TB / XTOP+Saitek hardware panel / LG 34UM95 3440 x 1440 / HP Reverb 1 (2160x2160 per eye) / Win 11
