ÐДѷє ۷ǿȵ ຣNew #lego project in progress. I bought the Saturn V from a colleague, but it looked a bit sad just standing on its own, so I decided to build a launch platform for it using only what I have. The result so far is not bad I think. I will have to make a bunch of concessions (like eg the white tubes for which I having nothing I can use), but I’ll figure that out once I get there :)
Changed the core structure this weekend and finished it. Also made the Colby crane. It’s starting to look very cool. Also glad my measurements were correct; I have 1 cm clearance to the ceiling when it’s in the place I reserved for it :)
Spend another day on the LUT:
- improved the Colby crane
- Added the Damping, Retract, and Reconnect System (DRRS)
- Created a first version of the Command Module Access Arm
Worked on the upper service arms today. Don’t hate the result, but also don’t love them yet. I do like the way the access module is starting to look :)
Not a lot of progress this weekend as I did some work in the house. Finished arm 7, but feel it is to clunky. Also started with the layout of the tubes on the third side, but I feel gray would be better. So I decided to place another bricklink order with new parts that hopefully arrive this week.
Made some nice progress this weekend. Finished the 4 upper arms and refactored the damping arm. Also added the tubes on the third side and started adding equipment on the floors (where I heavily apply ‘creative inspiration’). Still a lot of work to do!

Had some spare time this morning so decided to add the cross bars on each platform; really happy with the result :)
(Was less happy with the fact I had to rebuild the crane, stabilizer, and access arm due to a moment of not paying attention…)
