Lego Saturn V

Recently I had a weekend in London after visiting Harry Potter world in Watford.  I took the opportunity to visit the Lego store in Leicester Square and I could not leave empty handed....

On the train back

The model consists of twelve bags of [parts each corresponding to s section in the build manual.  Incidentally the build manual is superb giving a background of the real Saturn V and how this particular kit came into being.

I decided to take photographs of the knolled parts for each bag and the end result with some extra images thrown in at certain key stages (pun intended!).

The contents of the box laid out

I started by Knolling each bag and then building that bag.

Here are some pictures of the knolled bags










And some pictures of the work in progress

Stages 1 and 2 side by side

And pride of place by the fire in the lounge


All in all great fun to build and it looks great when done.
