Title: Budding Rocket Scientist
Post by: Bryanpoprobson on September 17, 2017, 06:07:05 AM
My Four year old Grandson Finley got fed up waiting for Granddad to make his LEGO Saturn V so he made his own.

OK the top may not be aerodynamic but a pretty good effort for a 4 year old.

So that encouraged me to get the main job done (the box says age 14) I had to show him sections once and then he did the build himself. Really impressed.

Day 1:- 3 hrs work

Final Day:- Finley said he was all pictured out so his little sister had to get in on the act.

Late to the party, but that is awesome. The boy is a problem solver, that's good stuff!

 I'm very jealous of the Lego Saturn V, too.

Cool, but I think the Payload Faring is going to run into difficulties at Max Q

He did that with no reference, looks a bit like the Jaxa rocket.

The 8-year-old daughter of a family friend, having watched "Astronaut: Do You Have What It Takes?" on BBC last year, is now doggedly determined that she will be an astronaut....

For those who haven't seen it, amuse yourselves by looking over the candidates, and playing 'guess the winner' or 'guess the top three' .....

A year and a half older now and although it took him four nights, he built granddads new present all by himself.
