Lego Saturn V - Bag 5

Last Thursday, we had a chance to complete another bag, so we took it.  Then it seemed that we would be getting back on track next week, but now that seems less likely.  Today we have the social isolation requirements for COVID-19.  I am no longer sure when we will get the next bag underway.  

Bag 5 completes the outside of the first stage of the Saturn V.  Look at last time's completion picture (here) to see the gaps we filled in.
It is a small bag with lots of small pieces and contains a smaller bag with smaller pieces.  Again it has lots of repeat pieces to build and then attach to the main structure.

We started bag 5 at 19:11
After some very fiddly bits, where small hands had a great advantage, we clipped the panels we had made into the main structure.  On the way we noticed and corrected a small mistake in one of the previous builds.  My grandson knew how to get the pieces apart without causing a complete breakup.

We finished bag 5 at 19:28, a total of 17 minutes.

Unfortuneately there was no time for bag -6
This is progressing like a real engineering project - delays caused by outside events we have no control over, and small construction faults having to be fixed along the way.

Looking forward to the next time, whenever that is ....
