Thank You Mrs. FlyTexas

[FlyTexas]

It seems Mrs. FlyTexas has been doing a little shopping behind my back. I'll forgive her this time. Here's what she picked up for me.



The Saturn V model stands a full one meter in height. When completed it will be displayed alongside my Lego Mini Cooper. I've read that the Saturn V rocket flew a whopping 7 inches for every gallon of fuel used. I suspect a Mini Cooper gets better mileage.

Nice.
Make sure you post some pics of the finished model.

Yes, we want to see it, Houston.

Will yours have flames coming out of the rear-end too? Like in the picture ?

My youngest daughter's boyfriend got one around Thanksgiving last year and apparently it is quite impressive when it's all put together.

I remember building the Airfix model as a kid and that was over 1m tall too.

Whoopee Brian!

Yes I noticed that too. When they take off, the bottom catches fire.

I'm actually surprised the box doesn't have a disclaimer stating "Model does not actually fly." It's probably just a matter of time before some yo-yo tries to sue Lego.

Oh , I hope not.

That looks like the Sonic Manipulator, a famous ( if you know him ) street busker in Cambridge;
