Over the weekend at my parents for my Mum\u2019s birthday and something I;ve been waiting to do for some time\u2026 get the big<\/strong> box of Lego down from the loft for my daughters to explore.<\/p>\n

And yes I might have joined in a little bit.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Now this tub of Lego has many sets all mixed in, and I\u2019ve no idea where the folder of instructions is. But that didn\u2019t stop me\u2026 I decided to try and rebuild the classic model from memory<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Not a bad day\u2019s work I have to say. Functionally it\u2019s all there (although I lost the gold roof panel many years ago) and isn\u2019t that the second most important thing about building Lego?<\/p>\n

The first thing of course is to have fun! And watching the \u2018928 get flown around the house by my daughter\u2026 with no jealousy from me (honest) I knew that was taken care of as well.<\/p>\n

\"LL928\" <\/p>\n
