LEGO Archive - Scanned Images

This document is part of the Guide to the unofficial LEGO® FTP Archive.

This page is a guide to the directory of scanned images (of LEGO models that people built) in the unofficial LEGO® FTP archive. This page is maintained by David A. Karr. Please note that I do not maintain the archive itself.

Paul Gyugyi contributed the following images of a ``starjammer'' (futuristic space ship with transparent ``sails''--see original text description in the archive):

• View from left side (132K GIF).
• Larger, more fanciful view of left side (172K GIF).

Paul Gyugyi also contributed the following images (see the original text description in the archive):

• A set of black and fluorescent orange ``dragon ships'' (95K GIF)--ships/tanks for legowars.
• A close up of a dragon ship (48K GIF).
• An island scene (74K GIF).
• A spherical-shaped LEGO world (247K GIF).
• A custom-designed radio-controlled train (301K GIF).

Stuart Mac Glashan (stuart@csc.liv.ac.uk) contributed a red astronaut (2K GIF) (see the original text description in the archive).

Jason S. Mantor (mantoj@rpi.edu) contributed the following images (see the original text description in the archive):

• A closeup of a 4WDS car suspension (236K JPEG).
• A mobile robot (190K JPEG).
• A pirate ship: view from port bow (468K JPEG), and view from port stern (405K JPEG).

Steve Putz (putz@parc.xerox.com) contributed the following images (see the original text description in the archive.)

• A two story house: assembled house (44K JPEG), upper floor interior (51K JPEG), and lower floor interior (48K JPEG).
• A ``VW-like'' car (sized for Technic figures): right front view with passengers (35K JPEG), left rear view with doors open (38K JPEG), right side view with door open (36K JPEG).
• A fort: ``front'' view (44K JPEG), ``rear'' view (45K JPEG), closeup of stairs and ghost's hideout (42K JPEG), closeup of balcony with seated woman (35K JPEG).
• A smuggler boat (29K JPEG).
• An airplane/glider (24K JPEG).
• A large person (33K JPEG).

Steve Putz (putz@parc.xerox.com) also contributed two views of astronauts repairing the Hubble telescope (see original text description in the archive): full scene (31K JPEG) and close-up (30K JPEG).

Paul Baulch (shnub@zikzak.apana.org.au) contributed images of the following models:

• A large, detailed spaceship with wings: right side (64K JPEG), right front (70K JPEG), and right rear (63K JPEG).
• A large gray jet fighter: top of starboard wing (141K JPEG), partially disassembled nose and cockpit (130K JPEG), bottom (157K JPEG), nose (showing retracted landing gear) (100K JPEG), and interior from below (162K JPEG).

Todd Lehman (lehman@winternet.com) contributed a hand drawing of an unsmiling alien minifigure (38K GIF).

Mike Rosulek (unar2@sfa.ope.ed.gov) contributed a hand drawing of building instructions for an F-16 airplane (41K GIF).

The following images appear in the ``scanned images'' directory of the archive, but are actually photos reportedly from the 8888 Technic Idea Book. According to the developed structure of the archive, they should therefore probably be in the ``instruction_sheets'' collection instead, where many other such images are found.

• A photo of set number 8860 (1.7M JPEG). This is the second ``super car,'' a large Technic auto chassis with seats, steering, engine, etc., but no body panels.
• A large Technic blue car (159K JPEG). This car uses blue plates for body panels and looks like a dune buggy. The Idea Book gives no instructions for this model.
• A grandfather clock (178K JPEG). The Idea Book gives partial instructions for this model.

Finally, there's one oddball item: a LEGO logo (1K GIF), with white lettering on a square red background. This image contains exactly five colors (red, white, yellow, and black are the colors meant to be seen, and one shade of gray is used to smooth the boundaries between colors in the image), indicating that this is either a scan of some LEGO publication that has been processed to clean it up, or someone's computer artwork that was intended to mimic the official LEGO logo. [I found no attribution and I don't know how to rule out either of the above possibilities. --DAK]
