The bridge of the LMS Explorer from the exterior

The LMS Explorer

Likely due to its massive size and the effort to scale it down to an affordable set, no parts of it were ever released, though most of the bridge was built at LEGO HQ in Billund, Denmark.[1] According to a fan-made recreation in MLCAD by Rock Raiders United user Arthuriel, the LMS Explorer is probably 975 studs (7.8 meters or 25 feet 7 inches) long, 134 studs (1.1 meters or 3 feet 6 inches) wide, and 111 bricks(1.1 meters or 3 feet 6 inches) tall,[verify] and has a part count of ~57,000 for the hull alone, whereby this number doesn't include an inner structure or interior rooms.

Description

Bridge

The bridge of the LMS Explorer is the most frequently-seen room, as it's where the ship is controlled from and where Chief spends most of his time. It has a main monitor, that can retract from the ceiling, a small platform and several computer systems to control and supervise the ship.
