Bag 2 is the body of the Hubble. It’s made up of 3 sub-bags. So many pieces.
The cool thing here is how Lego has colour-coded these interior pieces. They won’t be visible once the build is complete, but you’d be lost trying to find the right piece otherwise.
There are some really unusual pieces in this set. This one’s an L-bend on a socket.
Four of these are used in a 45-degree pivoted combination to attach a circular plate. Clever!
More unusual pieces – flat plates with male connectors underneath and some lightsaber-y posts and cylinders.
And we have the body of a space telescope! 🛰️🔭
That’s enough for today. 2/17 bags completed!
