"When completed, this Galaxy Explorer will feature 3 retractable landing pads."
onto bag 3 and... what's this? looks like we're gonna need more coffee!
all my other lego is from decades ago, i don't think i've ever seen just a classic 2x4 this pristine
here comes bag 4, and the question is... just what was in that coffee??
that's step 100! we're not even halfway through the booklet
the construction of the edge bits is incredibly clever and looks really snazzy... and now it's time for bag 5 and an upside-down clone
the base is all done and the detailing is lovely! the astronauts are eager for the blue bits of bag 6!
we have interior details! beds and little cubby holes with gear!
bag 7 brings us cockpit materials and the last astronaut with... some assembly required...
i love the print and the interior details and construction techniques so much
the cockpit is done! bag 8 unfortunately seems to have suffered a small mishap at the factory
almost there! only one bag left in the kit after a brief pause for dinner
and that's all done, the astronauts are ready for a galactic adventure!

@marlowe toys??? i'll have you know this is an accurate scientific model
oh this is so clever!!
