The HMS Beagle by LuisPG is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the ship’s second voyage from 1831-1836 during the exploration of South America. The exploration was of historical importance because Charles Darwin joined the crew and later released The Voyage of the Beagle.

The project also has some small vignettes of Darwin’s exploration while on the Beagle including the Galapagos Islands, Andes Mountains, and Patagonia.

The HMS Beagle now joins Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, and the Beatles Yellow Submarine as the projects that qualify for the Third 2015 Review Stage.
