LEGO NASA APOLLO SATURN V 21309, Инструкция по сборке, Страница: 8 / 200

With a shared passion for both space
exploration and LEGO® building, Valérie Roche
(aka Whatsuptoday) and Felix Stiessen (aka
Saabfan) worked closely together to create their
impressive Apollo 11 Mission model for LEGO
Ideas.
“The most challenging part was the Lunar Landing
module. I (Felix) tried building it as small as
possible (I wanted it to fit in the half-cone parts
as seen in the model) while still looking good and
accurate. After that, we began building the rocket
around it. We also tried to make the rocket as
sound as possible, so Valérie included pillars and
beams inside for structural integrity.”
“It actually took quite a long time to finish the
whole model. There were often times when one
of us just abandoned the project for a few weeks
and came back to it later; however, thanks to
the fact that it is a collaborative project, it was
always the case that one of us continued making
progress on the project and re-motivated the
other. All in all, we would say it took us about a
year to complete.”
“We were surprised (and happy, of course) when
we learned our model would be the latest one
in the LEGO Ideas series. What we like about the
LEGO Ideas platform is the feedback and support
you get from the community. It’s great to reply to
comments, read suggestions and improve your
model in the updates. Of course, the chance of
designing your own LEGO set is also really cool!”
