Then apply a thin film of soapy water at the back of the sticker with your finger before placing it on the LEGO piece. Carefully lift off each sticker from the backing paper with a hobby knife. I highly recommend using the soapy water method, as it is the most forgiving and the best way to properly align stickers. And silver stickers are especially prone to creasing and capturing fingerprints. ![]() Applying so many stickers and trying to align them properly can be nerve wrecking. Well, at least not until you have to apply the silver stickers on the inside of the payload bay. The model is full of interesting building techniques and constructing it never gets dull. The shuttle itself as well as its stand and plaque are built from the rest of the bags (numbered 4-16). Although the foils can’t roll up when the Hubble is carried by the shuttle, they can be replaced by golden rods (also included) as a realistic representation. The silver pieces and gold foils make the model look high class and very realistic. In my opinion, this is the most impressive part of the entire set. You also build the display stand and information plaque for the telescope. The first part of the set that you are instructed to build is the Hubble Space Telescope from bags numbered 1-3. Extra tidbits are sprinkled around the instruction pages, which makes the building process more engaging. There is also information about the LEGO designers who worked on this set. The instruction book is 320 pages long, and starts out with information about the five space shuttles that make up NASA’s Space Exploration System (STS) fleet (including the Discovery), as well as the Hubble Space Telescope. These sets are not just great building experiences, but also remind us of the brilliant innovators, hard working scientists, and brave explorers reaching new frontiers. The building instructions are full of educational materials and little tidbits that prompt me to do further research and take the building process slower than usual. The #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set was released in April, so I’m a little late with this review, but I like to take my time with space exploration sets. Thus, I was very excited when LEGO announced the #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set, the latest set made in collaboration between LEGO and NASA. The #10266 LEGO NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander from 2019, and the #21321 LEGO International Space Station from 2020 are two other excellent sets that are a pleasure to build and are educational as well. The #21312 LEGO Women of NASA highlighted important people in NASA’s history. The #21309 LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V from 2017 was an amazing building experience and it looks great on display (this set was re-released as the #92175 LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V in 2020 and is still available at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop). The #21104 LEGO NASA Mars Science Laboratory was a short-lived set released in 2014 that I missed out on and would still like to get. Ideally suited for 0.8mm nozzle 0.Like many others, I’m a big fan of the NASA-related LEGO space-exploration sets. With the shuttle mounted on it is 35cm wide and 35cm deep. The external tank and SRB rocket assembly on their own measure 80cm tall, 28cm wide and 13cm deep. You will need 750g of orange filament, 650g of white filament, 200g of black filament and 400g of grey filament. The product will include detailed professionally illustrated instructions for complete the assembly. Also featured on the 3D printed base is an attachment point for the Shuttle's Lego display card.Ī pair of base stands modelled to mimic the service masts from the launch pad, the whole rocket assembly can be placed on a flat surface and look launch ready. Utilising the existing lego stand included with the Lego shuttle, this along with a base support to ensure correct stability for the rocket assembly to be proudly presented in a horizontal setup. (suitable for both drywall and masonry walls) From there, there are 3 ways to display the shuttle and rocket stages.Ī clean minimal wall mount that hooks onto the back of the external tank (orange rocket) using a wall plug and screw which is included in the kit. Featuring a sturdy mounting solution to attach it to the lego set using a set of adaptors that connect to the shuttle's landing gear. The product comes with files for the two white SRB rockets and the large orange external tank perfectly scaled to the lego model. Complete the look of your Lego Space Shuttle 10283 set with this impressive, fully 3D printed, Solid Rocket Booster and External tank kit. ![]()
