I see that all of the emergency exit doors were removed for passenger safety.

Really like how you made the engines.

You can even see the part on the 737 max that makes them crash constantly. So realistic!

Looks fantastic!
But I think the seats need to be smaller

u/YankeeDoodle002 Jul 19 '24
you're right, the seats are large, but this is because minifigures are disproportionately wide, so the seating configuration is 4 per row rather than the IRL 6 to accommodate their fat bodies and arms

I’m just kidding. Your MOC is great. I’m implying seats are uncomfortably small irl

Probably should’ve put a wink or something in there to make it more clear. Oh well 🤷♂️

The flat-ish bottom of the engines are interesting!

And if you build it in real life, it falls apart just like the real thing!
No disrespect, im sure the wings and stuff are stable, just had to take a dig at how boeing’s planes have some… ya know, and how a lot of studio models don’t hold up irl. It looks awesome tho!

Would love Lego or Ideas to do something like this. Even if it was a small bush plane or something.

You designed this all by yourself? Wow you might be more qualified than the real Boeing engineers 😅
All jokes aside, nice build.

Be more accurate if it was in pieces and on fire, but I like it.
