Memories of the Greatest Ship in the Galaxy
Over the weekend at my parents for my Mum’s birthday and something I;ve been waiting to do for some time… get the big box of Lego down from the loft for my daughters to explore.
And yes I might have joined in a little bit.
Like many Lego fans of my age, there was only one Lego model that has pride of place. Model number 928, the Galaxy Explorer. The one with space for a lunar buggy in the back.
Now this tub of Lego has many sets all mixed in, and I’ve no idea where the folder of instructions is. But that didn’t stop me… I decided to try and rebuild the classic model from memory.
Here’s the result.
Not a bad day’s work I have to say. Functionally it’s all there (although I lost the gold roof panel many years ago) and isn’t that the second most important thing about building Lego?
The first thing of course is to have fun! And watching the ‘928 get flown around the house by my daughter… with no jealousy from me (honest) I knew that was taken care of as well.
More on this model at Lugnet.
I believe my brother had this set as well. While on holiday break this year, I’m gonna go on a quest for the lost Lego sets at my mom’s house. Wish us luck. I have no idea where they were last seen. Might take a few tricks we learned from watching National Treasure to find them! Great article by the way! I write about Lego from time to time. Feel free to stop by mattkendrick.com!
