About this deal

All in all, the set can be assembled in just a couple of hours. Even though some building steps feel a little bit monotonous, the set will leave you wanting for more! Finished model The central section of the landing stage is octagonal which requires some repetitive building and some clever techniques to attach the four off-grid sides. In the fourth bag, we build the Ascent Stage, which is comprised of three modules which you can disassemble to see inside.

Several models of the Lunar Module have been produced, commencing with 367 Space Module with Astronauts from 1975. The latest rendition includes far greater detail than its predecessors and offers more realistic proportions too, measuring 19cm wide and 20cm in height. Furthermore, the spacecraft stands on a dark bluish grey base which depicts the surface of the Moon, forming an attractive display. Descent stage features new-for-June-2019 gold-coloured landing pads and panels, opening camera and laser hatches and a ladder.LEGO space model building set This collectible moon lander model features an elaborate replica of Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module, complete with accessories. The display model comes with separate ascent and descent stages - the descent stage comes with gold-coloured landing pads and panels, an opening camera and laser hatches, and a ladder, while the ascent stage has a detailed interior with room for 2 astronauts. Finished with an Apollo 11 Lunar Lander nameplate. New-for-June-2019 decorated elements include an Apollo 11 Lunar lander nameplate and golden elements. Another quadrant of the lander hides a camera that filmed Armstrong as he climbed down the ladder and made the first step in the surface. The camera is built with just three pieces, but its nice to see a 1×2 printed tile with a tape pattern which has been around since 1990.

Oh yes and prints are hideously expensive too. Hence why sets by companies like Cobi or MegaConstrux, which use prints almost exclusively, are so much more expensive than LEGO... Two minifigures and some open studs on the lunar surface let you play out various scenarios of the event. But it doesn’t matter how historically accurate your display is, the scene always looks as exciting as possible. I hope you have found this review informative. Let us know by liking this article and share your thoughts on the set in the comments below. Two astronauts are included, representing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Numerous minifigures are intended to depict astronauts from the Apollo program and none are especially effective in my opinion. However, this bulky helmet assembly is certainly a reasonable facsimile of the real suits and I love the metallic gold visor covering the face of each astronaut. monkyby87: I wonder how it has become such a strain financially for TLG to produce baseplates when in former times it was possible for so many sets. LEGOLAND, Space, Castle, Aquanauts, you name it, all those themes had lots of sets with baseplates, flat as well as raised in all kinds of shapes. And all these sets were still affordable strangely enough.The sides of this section are lavishly clad in drum-lacquered gold tiles before the landing gear, made using predominantly Technic, is attached. There's some clever geometry involved, which we understand was Mike Psiaki's handiwork. Bag number 3 is a real treat. It brings various tiles in metallic gold as well as some other pieces of this color. There are 90 pieces of two shades of gold in the set in total. Once the moon is conquered, both astronauts can return to the module. By removing the front of the stage you have another scenario for displaying the model. This is an excellent set, which looks particularly striking due to the large number of 310 Metalized Gold Gold parts, iconic shape, and the lunar landscape that it’s sitting on. It is a fantastic display piece, which will look great in your home or displayed proudly on your desk at work.
