The Medical Research Lab is basically just 4851 The Origins, a Lego set based on the 2002 Spider-Man film. You know, the good ones, starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Not that horrible AMAZING Spider-Man. What a joke...
Virtual design for the Medical Research Lab
But I digress. I bought this Lego set because I was such a big fan of those Sam Raimi films. Maguire was such a good choice for the starring role, and the rest of the cast of that trilogy was stellar. Everyone played their role so well. You could keep your X-Men flicks and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, I'd take the web slinger any day of the week.
It's too bad the series went downhill after the third one. That flick was too long, it really should have been split in two. But that trend didn't occur to Hollywood until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Anyways, we're getting off-topic again. This blog isn't about movies, it's about the Lego's.
Early construction progress on the Medical Research Lab
I took the two scenes from The Origins and placed them in a medium blue building with a blue baseplate. I had hoped to make this building bright blue and my Hospital medium blue, but medium blue bricks didn't come any bigger than 2x4, and since the Hospital had larger bricks and a more complex design, I swapped colors.
Completed Medical Research Lab
I've added a couple of 71002 Scientist minifigures to help Peter, Mary-Jane, Norman, and the Scientist (that came with 4851) with the research. I took out the spiders, because I don't see how studying spiders would lead to medical breakthroughs. Norman is the patient being examined and studied, because he doesn't have a shirt on.
The researchers hard at work, running the equipment, setting up the tests, and analyzing results.
Getting Norman Osborn ready for the next set of medical testing.
