A thread about #Lego, including a live build 🤓 👇
I grew up loving the stuff, from ages 3(?) to perhaps 15, from duplo blocks to cutting edge Technic. I credit Lego in part for my deep love of STEM topics.
As an adult, I've started playing it again with my own kids (1/n)

About 3 years ago, I bought the Lego Saturn V to decorate my home office. 🚀
Because #Lego + Space. No more explanation needed.
Amazing, amazing build!!
You can really appreciate the engineering in this one. Highly recommended if you can get hold of a set.

Recently I finished a few big work projects so it was time I built another set.
Lego absorbs your mind fully and so is a great way to distract yourself during this pandemic.
With Lego, you're in control and you enjoy the process and the outcome.

Recently I picked up the Apollo moon lander #Lego set!
It's a space theme again. Woohoo! It'll look great with the Saturn V.
I'm building it right now 🤓

Step 1 is knolling, where you lay out all the pieces.
I don't normally do this but I was inspired by Adam Savage's (@donttrythis ) hugely entertaining YouTube build of this same set:
Knolling is surprisingly satisfying.
On to the build now!

The descent stage is complete.
Very satisfying.
Clicking little plastic blocks together is meditating.

The accent stage in position.
What an epic set! 🚀🌒

The American flag and astronauts added as the final step.
Wow!
What's even crazier is when you think this vehicle landed on the moon over 50 years ago and meet walked on the surface.
