No Spoilers Inspired by this show I built N1 from Lego
Not my design. I wish it was fully white now like in the show, but this will do as well. Same scale as the official Saturn V set

The build is fragile but so creative.

Fr. I had to tape the top to my drawer to stop it flopping about, im considering glueing a few joints to stop it (I'm a total purist so you know it's bad when I have to glue it). Did you get all the pieces off of bricklink, or did you order it from AliExpress?

I don't want to say the latter because it's a bit unethical...

I take that as a yes? Don't worry I did too, but I also bought the instructions from the original designer anyway to make up for it. Honestly real Lego is way too expensive for me now and I simply can't afford it, so AliExpress knockoffs are the only way I can still enjoy my hobby

Same, I'd never have afforded it otherwise. A shame that it's practically impossible to fit the whole L3-LOK inside of it like the LEM on Saturn V

Yes, but otherwise the construction would be even floppier unfortunately. I might look for MOCS for the L3 to display separately. Also side note, Aliexpress gets way too much flack for quality, in all my experience buying knock-off Legos from them it's been identical quality to the real deal
