Treasure Cove

Taking the golden key and unlocking and opening the Treasure Chest, we find that Pirates have come to Treasure Cove!

Returning from a supply run, the Imperial Navy find Pirates have sailed into Treasure Cove! Have they come to raid the Imperial outpost, or do they seek the mysterious Temple of the Golden Frog?

This model is inspired by a larger model I displayed at Brickvention 2024, The Boxed Arcadia. That design was over 9000 pieces, and folded up into a black, 30 x 30 x 30 cm cube. I improved on the panel designs and folding mechanisms and was able to make the folding chest you see here. The key (pun most definitely intended) feature I wanted to include, was the locking mechanism, and I managed to make this work, while making the finished closed model sturdy and solid for transport and display. check out the linked YouTube video to see it in action!
