LEGO BrickLink Designer Program 910028 - Pursuit of Flight

This small kinetic sculpture is designed to celebrate the history and wonder of flight. It features several different styles of aircraft from the early days of aviation history when engineers and pilots fearlessly pushed the limits of what was possible.

Any two of the aircraft can be mounted on the motion stand and a crank on the side can be turned to move the aircrafts from side to side. The planes tilt as they move, giving the illusion of them flying gracefully through the air.

Forced perspective – with clouds below and a microscale country landscape – is used to heighten the effect of the planes flying high in the sky.

Though these planes are smaller than minifigure scale, I have included minifigure heads for the pilots in some of the planes because I think it adds a bit of character to the model.
