Sometimes, it's good to buy yourself a present.

Bags 1 and 2 completed! A stand for the space telescope, and most of its main body. A good start, and probably all I have the energy for tonight. #lego #space

Finished bag 3 during my lunch break, and now I have a completed space telescope!

Knocked out bag 4 to get the stand for the shuttle put together. Really nice stand, actually... #lego #space

Bag 5 contained the ass end of the spaceship and uh... this is gonna be really big isn't it. #lego #space

Bag 6 reveals that yes, indeed. It's a big boy. #lego #space

Bags 7 and 8 finished up, and it's already starting to look like a spaceship. And it's like the size of my torso. #lego #space

Bags 9 and 10, now it's really starting to come together. Engines, proper heatshielding plates on the wings... good stuff! #lego #space

Rounding off today with bags 11 and 12, and gosh. This is starting to get pretty heavy already and I've still got another 5 bags of parts to go! #lego #space

And so, with the last 5 bags all finished, I have a space shuttle! Fantastic kit, highly recommend. Had a ton of fun building it over the past couple evenings. #lego #space

@hubbe Awesome set, congrats! I love how it’s technically two sets in one with the HST.

@winterblink Yeah, it's a really great set! Only downside is that it's too big to fit in my shelf... might need to go get a new bookshelf from IKEA or something 😅
