The red parts are clips to which the second stage will be attached - they are designed to hold it securely in place but allow it to be detached if you're demonstrating the Apollo flight profile. Hopefully whilst making suitably rocket like "rumble and roar" noises instead of the usual Brrrrmmmmmmm noises Excellent mini project and thanks for sharing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Brilliant... now I know what I've got in store for me when I finally break the seal on mine. Wasn't the creation of those wickle figures a first for Lego? I forget the terminology used, but something like the first custom part for one of the creators' projects. Or thereabouts. There is some fiendishly inventive ways of using parts during the build, such as the escape tower and the floatation bladders on the CM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Should have pointed out that the LM fits quite beautifully inside the adapter, as on the real thing: And how about this for a diorama - only three pieces! 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the crew of Apollo 8 (the first mission to orbit the Moon) considered reporting a large black object on the far side. They thought better of it, but Arthur C. Clarke never quite forgave them for resisting the temptation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliably informed that Daniel Craig is Lego mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
