The instructions don’t start until page 28 of the book!

Three hours and six bags of Lego later.

Building Lego and watching Mythbusters.

Six more bags and another hundred pages to go!

2nd stage is finished

All stages complete and on their stands. I admit to using some Kragle on the launch escape tower.

“Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.“

Splashdown!

The Eagle tucked away in the fairing

CSM docked to the LM and on the way to the moon

My girls wanna see the rest. Finish it so they can watch vicariously through you.

My daughter asks if you put the other half on the floor above it.

I like the use of bucket halfs as jet engines :P

I plan on getting this set soon

YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

I spent about 4.5 hours on mine. Granted I ate while putting it together as well. It’s so dang good.

My wife is surprisingly ok with our new dresser decor.

How you know you’re getting old: the _thought_ of sitting on the floor makes your knees hurt.

Even at my age, I have the ability to sit Japanese tea house style without damage ... so yeah, I can sit on the floor and play with toys.

That is super cool - didn’t realize it had the lander and command module, etc. Very nice. The real things are simply amazing in person...

I’m jelly. I really like that Command Module with the flotation gear.

I finished mine in about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, it takes up a lot of shelf space so the Caterham and BB8 got a little crammed in with the GT3, F40, Bus and Beetle.
