MOD: Pangaea Globe

[CardinalBricks]

Not sure why I decided to do this, but as I was building the new globe set I had the idea to leave all the green/tan pieces off and make a Pangaea globe with the parts. This is the result.

I left the ship attached, so as to build the landmass on the opposite side of the interior counterweight tires. Still, they are no match for the sheer density of plates and tiles on one half, so the globe does not spin amazingly well.

Lastly, a look into my process. Nothing fancy, just a screenshot and basic markups using the ruler tool in camera roll on my iPad. The X represents the point exactly opposite the ship.

Hope you enjoyed this bit of random fun! I will make the original model eventually... but there's something so funny to me about a Pangaea globe.

I Love this idea.  I've considered making fictional globes as well like Nirn from the elder scrolls, Etheirys from final fantasy XIV, or Game of Thrones' world.

Absolutely! As others have no doubt pointed out, the globe set is an incredibly versatile thing.

@BrickRally217, That’s very creative. Great idea!  

I don’t think you should change it - just leave the landmass as it is. The only thing I would change would be to replace the ship with an ichthyosaur. By the time of Pangea, some of these sea creatures were up to 55 feet long!
