LEGO Double
Submitted by: Branden Brooks
(February 17, 2021)

I've been rowing for several years and wanted to recreate my hobby in LEGO. The model is a Filippi Double Scull in my club colors. It's the carbon model with front wings. The sculls (oars) are Croker carbon. I think it could be a nice, small set for LEGO and rowing enthusiasts. It could stand in a display or as a stand-alone set on your desk or something similar.
