It's finally finished almost 2 years after it arrived. The main delay has been COVID-19, where we were not able to see the grandchildren for about a year.
 | Both the boys arrived to help, the younger one has felt a little left out of this build, I think. We are happy to have him, but some of this is beyond his capability, and there were times when he started to get a little bored. This bag was started at 18:18 It was completed at 18:52, taking 34 minutes. |
 | The rocket is about complete here, just the command and service module and the lunar excursion module to complete in the next box. We can already see that keeping this protected is going to be a challenge. |
 | The final bag is full of some of Lego's smallest pieces. The bag was opened at 18:53. We just got straight on with it. |
 | The whole thing was finally finished at 19:23, exactly 30 minutes later. This bag really was one that showed how quickly the older grandson can work. His small fingers are nimble and his sense of how the construction goes is remarkable. |
 | I have stood next to a real one, both vertically and horizontally. A picture of the vertical one and me is here (https://3cephas.blogspot.com/2020/01/lego-saturn-v-introduction.html). The horizontal one was broken down into sections. If I were to break this model down, all the detail would be there, but I'm NOT going to. |
All that remains is for me to get a case and mount it somewhere to be on permanent display. I also have to go back through these blog entries and add up the time for construction.
