LSP The Lego Space Program

Here's what you see: (from left to right):
Mercury Redstone (Sam Shepards first US space flight)
Juno II
Thor Delta (Grandfather of todays huge Delta V rockets!)
Atlas Mercury (first US orbit!)
Atlas Delta. After that, the small white rocket in front is a
Juno I, also based on Redstone, used for the first US satellite... behind it is the
Titan II which launched all Gemini flights - first US spacewalk.
Vostok (in white and dark grey - Yuri Gagarin!) and, behind that,
Soyuz, the most successful spaceship so far, flown since 1964 and still serving the ISS, easy recognizable distinct orange paint.
Saturn V (Moon landing) and
Saturn I (testing Apollo CSVs) and in front of them is Little Joe II, also with an Apollo CSM at the top.
Titan III MOL - intended for the Manned Orbital Laboratory, of which only a dummy was launched on Launch Pad 34.
US Space Shuttle carried by the NASA Crawler.

You got "Shepard" right, but you misspelled "Alan" quite badly.

Nice collection.

I love it!

Did you desing the space shuttle launch thingy yourself or did it have instructions?

[mnemon]

Hey,

thank you for the kind reply! The Shuttle was designed by Andrew Hawkins aka kingsknight, there is a link to the instructions ins this reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/8s51ln/lego_ideas_space_shuttle_free_instructions/

The Crawler and MLP (Mobile Launch Platform) were created by Grant Passmore aka eiffleman - instructions available on Lego ideas in the Updates: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/0f8efc2a-ce0a-4285-9f2b-036bf3eb9f38

There is a group on FB that collects and exchanges instructions for 1:110 Lego Space models, we have a couple of Kerbalists amongst us already: https://www.facebook.com/groups/legospacebuilds/

Regards!
