Lego Space Shuttle

[tl8]

As the STS program winds down, Lego have released details of a new set to be released in June

I believe this will be a very popular set

I used to have this:

My brother stepped on it and it fell apart, and I never got around to rebuilding it.

This is too cool. I may be a poor college student but I got to get that. I had the original shuttle set back in the day.

 

[Shadow Addict]

Oh my god I want it so bad.

 

[Chupacabra]

Zerofay32, I had two of those sets, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, and the one with the Vehicle Assembly Launchpad! .....I still play with them today, more than a decade since I got them. :lol:

Thanks for the update tl8. I now know what to get for my birthday!

 

[KosmoKen]

I'm trying and I can't think of a better way to spend a hundred bucks. Rent can wait.

My little brother has a space shuttle like that. It's so cool!

 

[Izack]

They did this a while back. I have a giant model of the Shuttle Orbiter (sans ET and SRBs) and Hubble, and a tiny one of the ISS back before they installed the main truss.

They should definitely have one of these on the ISS if it doesn't take up too much space. Then they can play spaceman...IN REAL SPACE! :lol:

EDIT: Pictures! (Poor quality due to my crappy laptop webcam.)

I want that lego space shuttle XD. Is this one also coming to Europe? I also have the ''Space Shuttle Discovery & Booster'' set from revell but I haven't assembled it yet :

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

Cool, I want it!

I had this Lego ISS when I was younger...

...but I managed to adapt it to show the ISS in its current configuration! :thumbup:

Hey, that's the one I had. I cannibalised it for parts though. Now I wish I hadn't.

Is that the Technic one? If so, I have that too

 

[astrosammy]

Looks like I also have the LEGO shuttle that Izack has. I stopped construction after a crash because a part of the left wing leading edge missed . Now I'll try this one as soon as I have the time to get some card stock, they even have the payloads of every mission available: http://www.axmpaperspacescalemodels.com/

 

[T.Neo]

I too have the LEGO shuttle and ISS. Fixed the latter when it depicted the shuttle docking on the bottom of the TPS. :lol:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

*Drum roll please*

Ladies & Gentlemen, I can now reveal that with careful modifications, you can make this....

....into THIS - ISS in its current configuration!!! :speakcool:

This ISS is also capable of supporting future expansion, as I have included some “docking ports” for future "modules" (which I have already built)!!!

AND, as if that isn’t enough, I have even adapted the Shuttle to add an ODS compatible with PMA-2!!!

Just please don’t ask me for the procedures for it, because I have no idea how I made it!!!

(*This is geeky, I know. But hey, one of the most truthful quotes I ever heard was "Geeks make the world go round"!!! :thumbup

 

[T.Neo]

Orbinaut_Pete, that is truely amazing. :speakcool:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

Orbinaut_Pete, that is truely amazing. :speakcool:

Thanks, T.Neo!

I'm actually quite proud of my engineering achievement! :rofl:

 

[Izack]

Very nice! I like what you did to the miniature shuttle especially. It looked all wrong the way it was docked before.
It's much better than the laser gun thing I made out of mine... Darn my childhood fantasy days, eh? :lol:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

I like what you did to the miniature shuttle especially. It looked all wrong the way it was docked before.

Yeah, it sure did!

I basically got rid of some pieces to make it appear as though the Payload Bay Doors are open as they would be when the Shuttle is docked to the ISS, and I added an Orbiter Docking System (ODS) that can be mated to PMA-2 (the grey thing at the forward end of the ISS model)! :thumbup:

 

[IronRain]

nice :thumbup:
