Welcome back for bag 4/17. This weekend we’re building the stand for the Space Shuttle. Bag in a bag. Looking at the final result, it’s hard to believe it’s made up of all these tiny pieces.
Some of the more unusual pieces. The toothy one is a support beam. Again blown away by not just the precision at scale but by the application of engineering principles in a model of this size.
And after 2 hours, we’re done! This little stand not only pokes out on an angle but is rock solid and bears a considerable amount of weight. So it should, given the Shuttle will be over 50cm in length.
This post is part of a series. You can read about the backstory behind this pet project of mine and navigate all the posts via an index on Lego Space Shuttle Mega-Build.
