-
Display-ready size – measuring ~80 cm long × 47 cm high, it’s large enough to impress yet compact enough for adult display .

Rich historical ties – the design honors Shackleton’s 1914–17 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, aligning with the real ship’s three-masted, ice-resistant design
How to display The Endurance?
The LEGO Endurance offers a more enjoyable and engaging building experience compared to larger sets like the Titanic. Thanks to its thoughtful design and compact ship structure, the build involves minimal repetition and stays interesting from start to finish. Its moderate size also makes it much easier to display or store, especially for those with limited space. While the Titanic is undoubtedly impressive in scale, the Endurance stands out with its refined construction and clever details — making it a must-have for anyone seeking a satisfying and space-conscious LEGO build.
A model with such historical depth and elegant design deserves to be properly displayed — not just built, but showcased with pride.
- Display Case (Enclosed Box Style)
Pros: Protects the model from dust and physical contact.
Cons: Display effect is average; if the acrylic material is low quality, the case may turn yellow over time and affect visibility.
2. Wall-Mounted Bracket Display
Pros: Space-saving, affordable, and easy to install.
Cons: Only provides a basic display effect and doesn’t offer dust protection.
3. Framed Art-Style Display
Pros: A space-efficient solution that transforms the LEGO build into a luxurious art piece — elegant and eye-catching.
Cons: Not dust-proof, so may require occasional cleaning and maintenance.
Based on personal experience, using a frame provides a much better display effect for large ship sets like the Endurance.
As long as the model is securely mounted, this method offers the best overall presentation. That’s why we decided to design our own custom display frames — crafted from solid wood, carefully refined in every detail, and ultimately released in two distinct versions.
