Lego enters the space race

Getting on two years ago the Lego group came out with a fan created (Lego Ideas) Saturn V rocket. I didn't get one on release because first batch sold out in days so had to wait a few months for them to make more. When it finally did arrive, I was hooked once again on space and so just had to build more models to go with the Saturn V. Here is my first display at a school fund raiser in June 2018. What was interesting during the show was the general lack of knowledge of the moon landings at all, few people seemed to have a clue so my idea to put the boards behind it helped a great deal, it was a real rocket, it did go to the moon and the superb new Apollo lander model which Lego just released could not have been better timed.
