⚠️ Important Note for Master Builders
This is a raw design file and represents a high-level engineering challenge. Please read the following carefully before purchasing:
Design Challenges: The file may contain technical "errors" or complex part overlaps (illegal connections) that were solved manually during the original physical assembly.
Expert Level Only: These hurdles remain in the digital file. I believe a true "LEGO freak" enjoys the engineering puzzle of designing a custom skeleton and building around these issues to achieve a rock-solid final result.
