I suppose that the next challenge is to see how small a
cruise ship it possible to build, while still keeping all
the essential features.

Do you mean at minifig scale or not?

Minifig scale, but with "selective compression".

I would agree with you that building a small model to have basically the
same features would be an interesting challenge.  Sure, building large
models is a challenge, but compressing them while retaining the same
level of details is even more challenging in my opinion.  At least this
applies to building technic models.

It applies to non-technic models too, even though it
probably isn't quite as difficult.

The way the LEGO Company produces compact models with lots of
playability and details is actually quite inspiring and noteworthy.
While they may be off scale, they certainly show how to get the most out
of the bricks!

Mmmm. (yes)

But <long complaint about juniorisation/>

Play well,

Jacob
