Shuttle SRB WIP (1:37)

Not many pics for now, however it has gimballing and it's based on my RL10 design from a while ago. Built in just in time for Columbia's 22nd anniversary (February 1, 2025)

Soyuz in 1:160 scale

Hey there. I just released my free instructions for my Soyuz. You can decide if you like your Soyuz frosty or Unfrosted and change between two fairings. Fregat and regular.

Lightning recommendation?

Anyone have a link for a good light to build a launching scene?

Anyone got this MOC of the Sojus?

Hey people,

i´ve found this incredible moc and wanted to show it to you. i think i will buy it in the next month and prepare it with cotton and light underneath so i have a launching diorama.

But what do you think about this moc?

What is the scale of the NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander (10266) ?

I know that many people are just saying that it is in "minifigure scale" , but there are a lot of differences between a real life human and a Lego minifigure. So I tried to figure out the TRUE scale of the LEM by measuring some dimensions of the lego set with a ruler , and comparing them to the real life lunar lander's dimensions.

Legendsize of the lego set in meterssize of the real life LEM in metersratio
A0,1154,29261:37,32695652
B0,0090,31219141:34,68793333
C0,1274,21641:33,2
D0,269,44881:36,34153846
E0,1323,73381:28,28636364
F0,1124,03861:36,05892857
G0,082,8319731:35,3996625
H0,1857,03581:38,03135135
I0,176,061711:35,65711765
J0,0481,7490441:36,43841667
K0,0481,480821:30,85041667
L0,0260,4693921:18,05353846
M0,00660,068581:10,39090909

And in the end I took the average of the ratios which is roughly 1:31.59408715. Which is a much larger scale than what was discussed in this post.

I determined the dimensions of the Lunar Module based on the following image:

(I converted the units from imperial to metric.)

Why is almost every non-minifig-scale MOC 1:110?

Is it to adhere to the Saturn V's scale? Also what factors influenced the Saturn V to go 1:110?

What rocket or space shuttle tank can I build!

New Glenn - new design

With New Glenn finally on the launch pad, I was wondering how long it will take for the first MOCs to pop up with the new design i.e. then gold colored parts. Or has anyone seen anything yet?

Launch Vehicle List

Happy New Year! My resolution is to kick the rocket factory into high gear. I've spent nearly two years buying and sorting bulk and it's time to put this to use. But like any great endeavor it requires some organization. Kaero's list and BrickInSpace sight are amazing but I need a hard list of what's even possible to build and a way to track what has a MOC and where MOCs are needed. Listing every single launch vehicle configuration would be impossible so there are definitely many missing. At the 1:110 scale the differences might not be noticeable anyway. I had to start a list somewhere though, so I combed all the reference sites I could and put together an initial list of what I think could be visually distinguished launch vehicles. It's certainly not comprehensive but I think as I work my way through it I will learn more and adapt the list accordingly.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16-_0AR7DUGdV7cCINRsGBY_HU5Egf2HRscGIKaHZ_RE/edit?usp=sharing

LEGO Rockets List

Please ignore status column it's just where I'll be tracking my process. However, feedback on any missing launch vehicles would be appreciated. And feedback on launch vehicles that could likely be combined, at least visually, would be even better.

One of these days I'll convert this to a proper database and add it to my site or perhaps work with Kaero to incorporate it with his list.

I may cross post this on Discord and the Facebook group so apologies if you're seeing this multiple time.

Information about Saturn V

Hi everyone !
My husband is a space engineer and, of course, a big fan of lego space rockets. I would like to offer him the saturn V someday.
Does someone know the official price by LEGO, of the 21309 and the 92176 when they were released ?
Thank you for your help !

What happened to these mocs?

I purchased a n1 on a website and it sent me a link that doesn't work, they did credit SkySaac but i can't find why this moc has been disabled.

What’s next?

So far here’s what I’ve built:

  • Saturn V
  • Space Shuttle
  • Falcon Heavy
  • New Shepard
  • Vulcan Centaur
  • Delta IV Heavy

I’m looking to build another rocket soon but can’t decide which. SLS? Atlas V? A Mercury or Gemini rocket? What’s a good addition here?
