Toy Treasure Chest

Inspired by the classic LEGO treasure chest element, this model depicts a large scale toy chest, complete with micro scale builds of the Black Seas Barracuda (6285) & Imperial Outpost (6263)!

The treasure chest model is my take on the original LEGO element, at 8x the scale, making it 32 studs long and 16 studs wide! As a display piece, the chest can be opened to reveal an ocean landscape, where both micro builds can be presented.

There are a number of unique part usages throughout, such as the curved slope elements (67810) used for the base of the chest as well as the curved panel elements (18910) that make up the bulk of the lid. The micro scale builds also utilize some unconventional techniques, such as the book cover piece (24324) used for the awning of the outpost or the heart shaped tiles (39739) used to sculpt the shape of the hull and sails on the ship.

Hope you enjoy these builds!
