Build 52 galaxy-hopping LEGO spacecraft that can fit in the palm of your hand! Complete with step-by-step instructions and stunning full-color photography.
LEGO Space Projects rocket right past the standard science-fiction tropes, taking you to the edge of galactic design. The models in this book are built for enlightened celestial ambitions, like botanical research, comet mining, solar sailing, and experimental drive testing.
Get inspired by real-life spacecraft as you transform a handful of bricks into NASA-grade propulsion systems, heat shields, and solar collectors. Or let your imagination soar as you snap together an explorer mecha with maneuvering thrusters and hypersonic Cloud Skimmer.
LEGO fans of all skills and ages will have a blast building dozens of cleverly styled models, from sleek to comical, from retro to futuristic, from space stations to flying saucers—and beyond.
Projects range from 8 bricks to 100, and are brought to life by stunning full-color photography, witty descriptions, and detailed technical specs. Build them using the book’s clear, step-by-step instructions, or use the techniques as a launchpad for your own designs!
Now if the Lego space wasnt really sure at times of what it wanted to be- this book is totally convinced of what it is - its a build book with details and guides and parts lists to achieve you own space fleet as shown in the pages of this book.
There is no confusion or misunderstanding here - it is a book showing the creative range and breath of the author and his love of space ships and more importantly Lego.
I would stress that it appears that a large proportion of the Lego peices used here are of the common variety as during its run there were many custom peices introduced through the Space range.
I can see me rummaging through my boxes of of parts to see what I can create on my own now.
