The first draft had WALL-E meeting a different robot...
My birthday present from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
attimes_bracing was the new Lego kit of WALL-E.
I finally got around to building it last weekend (it's quite a complex kit despite its small size, and took about 3 hours.) It seemed fitting to have it meet a kit I got about 12 years ago, 7471 Mars Exploration Rover.
It turns out that, probably by coincidence, both models are roughly to scale. Pixar has apparently confirmed that WALL-E is notionally about a metre tall, whilst Spirit/Opportunity are about 1.5m to the top of their mast cameras. Unfortunately our dining room display cabinet isn't quite big enough to have them next to one another.
