On today's special episode of R.R. Slugger's Rock Raiders Retrospective we will be taking a look at the LMS Explorer, the team's mothership and home base.
The LMS Explorer was never included in a LEGO set, but its significant presence in the PC game and other media for the series has left many (like myself) dreaming of building a model of it in real life.
Luckily, thanks to alternate scale length designs by Arthuriel, I am pleased to say that this dream can become a reality. Throughout this video I will detail specifications about the ship, interview Arthuriel about the design process of recreating the vessel, and explore how to do it for yourself.

An extra special thank you goes to Arthuriel for designing these recreations and for spending the time to talk to me about it. His work can be found on Rock Raiders United, or by following some of the links below:
